Are you team Jane Eyre or team Wuthering Heights?

Which team are you on?


 I think the real tragedy of these books is that the sisters died so young. Who knows what other books could have been written. Although l have a preference for one novel both of them deserve their reputations.

It would have been interesting to see them mature and keep writing. Emily Bronte was only 30 when she died, Charlotte 38. Emily led such a sheltered life and l do admire the imagination of Wuthering Heights. 

Let's start a conversation.

Who's looking forward to the new Strike novel?

I like crime novels. They are my favourite to read. Of course, theses days, when l say read l mean listen. I have bad hearing and have had hearing aides for years. Audible and Borrow Box are on my phone which is connected to my hearing aides and it is much easier to carry a phone rather than a book. Robert Galbraith books are so good. I personally think that J.K. Rowling is a very good writer.  So l have gone back to the start. Through Audible l have listened to The Cuckoo's Calling right through to Troubled Blood. I'm going to listen to all of them; Ink Black Heart is next. They should all be finished by the time the new novel comes out and l can't wait.  Who else is waiting for the new release? Do you like the Strike novels? Let's start a conversation.

The heat has returned and so have l to where l stay in between jobs. We're having a hot, humid summer that never seems to stop.  Good weather for staying inside and writing poetry. Today l am sharing the names of some poetry prizes around the world.  All for emerging and new poets. Perhaps one of them is you. I hope so. I want poetry to thrive and survive.  Most Wednesdays l read a poem and, if you would like me to read yours contact me at emilycat176@gmail.com  and we can start a conversation about me reading it out.
