75 Books...More or Less! discussion

Hi guys,
Carol and I will be reading Mr. Rochester, a retelling of Jane Eyre from the viewpoint of, you guessed it, Mr. Rochester, starting on January 6th. Please join us anytime!
Cheers,
Juli

I should've bought it when it was under $5 on Kindle! lol. Hoopla, Overdrive, and my 2 local libraries don't have it.

oh noooooo! that sucks. My NC library didn't have it either but I still have my TN membership and they had an eBook available right away!

I know! It would have made a good audio book I think.

Carol, I will either start later tonight or tomorrow. I want to finish the ARC for The Phantom of the Opera first. They're re-releasing the novel again as part of a classics horror series and I can't believe I have never read it before. It's my favorite musical!

Oh, I liked The Phantom of the Opera! I will be picking up my copy of Mr. Rochester from the library this afternoon and will also start either tonight or tomorrow... Its a big one.

Didn't get any reading done tonight as I had to work late. I'll start with this book tomorrow.

Hi Carol, did you finish the book already? I'm baking slow progress. I've had ac few ARCs due meanwhile.

I am a little over halfway through and loving it! I really feel like I am getting a good picture of poor Rochester. How far are you?

Hi Carol, I though I had replied to your last comment. Ugh!

I just finished the book. I enjoyed it but loved the younger Rochester much more.

I liked the younger Mr. Rochester, too, but just loved the book. I had really enjoyed Jane Eyre, so it was fulfilling to learn about the details of Edward. He had a hard life.

I forget... was his "nephew" mentioned in Jane Eyre?

Have you ever read Rebecca by Daphne DuMauier(sp?). I found a book titled Mrs. DeWinter. I thought it was about the 2nd Mrs. DeWinter, but maybe it was about the first... am going to try that book this year. I know the reviews are moderate, but I am going to try it.

I loved, loved, loved Rebecca! I will check out Mrs. DeWinter and see if I am up for reading that. When are you thinking of starting?

I do not remember if the "nephew" was mentioned in Jane Eyre.

I can start as early as April. Does that sound OK, or do you want to push it out?

Could we start on May 1 instead? I already have a few buddy reads in April. I can create a buddy read page for this.

May is even better. That will allow me to finish a couple of "Read Your Shelves" books that are ahead of Mrs. DeWinter.

Perfect! I will set up a buddy read thread.
