YES! I have been looking for a reason to re-read this, and here it is. I have a very old copy from high school that I initially planned to read but ended up treating myself to a new penguin edition at the end of last year. What fun.
I am looking forward to this, because yes... I'm one of the people who has never read this. AH! I know, I know! Snagged a physical copy that will arrive just in time. Excited to participate in this, Caroline!
Yes. This was one of my favorite books as a young teenager. It began my love affair with all things British. Thank you for the reminder. I need to get a copy. 🥰
It’s a classic for a reason… so many of us look to Austen as the foundation of modern literature, but as we’ll see Jane Eyre has set so so many foundations as well. Excited to read with you!
I’m also a first time reader of Jane Eyre - I naturally shy away from the classics but I’m really looking forward to reading in this way. My copy arrived today 🧡
I can’t wait! In the interim I’ve finally picked up “Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys. Noting it was first published the year of my birth! Synchronicity at its best

Excited to have you, Jillian!

How perfect!!! Wide Sargasso Sea is also excellent— I‘m planning a re-read after this round of Jane Eyre.
Gosh I love Jane Eyre. But haven’t read it in ages! Can’t wait!!
I’m so excited! And I even if I can’t keep up with the reading (ahem), I can still participate in the discussion. Happy dance!
