I’m with you there, I can’t see how Wuthering Heights is a love story at all, but I will occasionally reread Jane Eyre. I’m currently listening to a podcast where they read Jane Austen and discuss, one of whom has never read Austen. It’s as close as I will get to reading them for the first time again.

Ooh! What’s it called? That sounds great!

I used one of my audible credits to get this narrated/voice acted version of Austen. People in the reviews are really mad because they had to take some very minor liberties with the exact wording here and there to make it work with the audiobook format. I’ve been really enjoying experiencing them in a new way though!

Pod and Prejudice, they are on to Emma now but started with Pride and Prejudice. That audiobook looks amazing, the narrators 🥰😍

My favourite is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
