Throwback Thursday!


Throwback Thursday March 7th 2013

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by The Housework Can Wait and Never to fond of Books.

It's the nature of book blogging to focus mainly on new releases, but there are thousands of great books out there that haven't seen the "New Releases" shelf in years. We hope to be able to bring attention to some older titles that may or not be at the top of the current bestseller list, but still deserve a spot in your To-Be-Read pile.

You don't have to be a book blogger to participate! You can put up a Throwback Thursday post on your non-bookish blog; or if you don't have a blog at all you can use the comments to tell us about a book your remember fondly.


And NOW! We’re expanding! Throwback Thursday is no longer limited to just books! Throwback Thursday is dedicated to shining the spotlight on any book-related old favorites that need to be remembered.What’s your favorite classic television show or movie adaptation? What about your favorite song? Was your favorite toy a character from a book?
Here’s how it works:
  • Pick any media (or non-media item) released more than 5 years ago. Remember to keep it book-related!
  • Write up a short summary (include the title, author, and cover art, if applicable) and an explanation of why you love it. Make sure to link back to The Housework Can Wait and Never Too Fond of Books in your post.
  • Link up your post at The Housework Can Wait or Never Too Fond of Books.
  • Visit as many blogs as you can, reminisce about books you loved, and discover some “new” books for your TBR list – or some other classic
All moved in. I was tempted to post all the posts I missed last week but with boxes still to unpack and reading requirements it just didn't happen. So this week I decided to pick a movie that I've been craving for a while. Just haven't had a chance to watch it yet. 

Jane Eyre
Charlotte Bronte
Published 1847
(Goodreads)
(Imdb)
Charlotte Gainsbourg & William Hurt

Synopsis 

Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. 

She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield, falls in love with Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than Victorian society traditionally allowed. 

With a heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Bronte's innovative and enduring romantic novel continues to engage and provoke readers.


One of my all time favorite movies. I've not read the book since high school. I picked my favorite movie version of Jane Eyre. I think it's the actress who plays Jane that makes me love this version so much. It's also available on netflix instant play to.

  2. I just read 'Jane Eyre' in December/January. Loved it! I haven't seen this movie version - I saw the one with Michael Fassbender. I thought it was really well-done. I wasn't thrilled with 'Jane Eyre Laid Bare,' though.
