Sooo I thrifted this and then didn’t touch it for months, and when I grabbed it this morning I realized it’s an advanced readers copy???? Which is like so cool, but also like my version may be different than the actual book which is weird to think about. Shocked this was sold for like 99 cents.

This book feels soooo ACOMAF for some reason

If I finish my audiobook I’ll end the year with 51 books and I hate odd numbers…..


Sooo I’m gonna read this since it’s only 132 pages! And then I’ll end with 52!

Oh you suckkkkkkk

What is Nate about to do….

Wait this is so crazy. What do you mean he didn’t ditch her but was actually searching for her this whole time and she like fully got with someone else? What is going onnnnn

“In every cloud, in every tree— filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day—I am surrounded by her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women—my own features—mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!”

“Catherine’s face was just like the landscape—shadows and sunshine flitting over it in rapid succession; but the shadows rested longer and the sunshine was more transient…”


That’s beautiful writing

Heathcliff making fun of the baby’s name is killing me

“Heathcliff, if I were you, I’d go stretch myself over her grave and die like a faithful dog. The world is surely not worth living in now, is it? You had distinctly impressed on me the idea that Catherine was the whole joy of your life: I can’t imagine how you think of surviving her loss.”


YOU TELL HIM ISABELLA

“I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me. People feel with their hearts, Ellen: and since he has destroyed mine, I have not power to feel for him…”

“Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in the abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

“If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn’t love as much in 80 years as I could in a day. And Catherine has a heart as deep as I have: the sea could be as readily contained in that horse-trough as her whole affection be monopolised by him. Tush! He is scarcely a degree dearer to her than her dog, or her horse. It is not in him to be loved like me: how can she love in him what he has not?”

“You know as well as I do, that for every thought she spends on Linton she spends a thousand on me!”

Honestly poor Linton

“… quite possible that your master should have nothing but common humanity and a sense of duty to fall back upon. But do you imagine that I shall leave Catherine to his duty and humanity? and can you compare my feelings respecting Catherine to his?”

They’re sooooo toxic it drives me crazy

Cathy is so mean!!

I’m dead not Isabella crushing on Heathcliff

HES BACK

Oh and Heathcliff is just gone!?!?

What do you mean Cathy gets sick, goes to Thushcross Grange, gets the Linton’s parents sick, and then they just DIE???

That’s insane

“Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”

I really don’t like Cathy but she’s spitting out some beautiful and insanely romantic lines

“If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger,”

This is so beautiful

“…He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

MADE IT TO THE CLASSIC QUOTE YAYAYAY

So Catherine will appear for other people but not for Heathcliff. That’s tragic :(

HOA POV!?!

Nooooo

HELLO?!?!?
