Wuthering Heights: As readers we expect this from it

do you remember these quotes from Wuthering Heights?

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to another rant.

Now, I have not watched the new Wuthering Heights movies, with Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw, and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. But? I have seen some scenes and trailers.

As a reader, who liked this book, I do hope to go to the theater and some of this in there:

Moments in Quotes from Wuthering Heights

Be prepared for some spoilers, nearly without context, if you have not read the book.

“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”

“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: I should not seem a part of it. “

“Nelly, I am Healthcliff! He’s always, always in my mind…”

“What were the use of my creation, if I were entirely contained here? My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff’s miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself.”

“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it.”

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

“I have not broken your heart – you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”

“It is hard to forgive, and to look at those eyes, and feel those wasted hands,’ he answered. ‘Kiss me again; and don’t let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer…”

“Honest people don’t hide their deeds.”

So, what about all of these quotes?

Well, if this manner of despair is in the movie, then they did a good one; if not? It did not do justice to the book.

This was never meant to be a book review; I have that here. And if you’d like to check out my current copy of Wuthering Heights, I have a hardcover pink one, which is beautiful but deceiving in looks.

That’s all, I just thought of some of the most memorable quotes from the book and I wanted to share, do you have another quote that is like these? Have you read the book? Let me know in the comments.

Thank you, dearies! See you on the next one!

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe [Book Review]

I cannot believe it took me that long to read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and that I did not like it as much as The Magician’s Nephew…

Book Title: The Magician’s Nephew

Author: C.S. Lewis

Book Saga: The Chronicles of Narnia

(Chronological Order) #2

Genres: Fantasy. Classics. Children. Young Adult (Maybe). Fiction.

Book Description: At first, no one believes Lucy when she tells of her adventures in the land of Narnia. But soon Edmund, and Peter and Susan discover the Magic and meet Aslan, too, the Great Lion. Then their lives are changed forever.

Hello, dearies!

I started reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in July 2025, and finished in December. Now, under other circumstances, I would have said a number of things that led me to take that long in reading a short book, because it is shorter than others. But the truth is, I kept putting it off, picking it and reading about 4% before leaving it for weeks.

My point is, it took me a while, and it was not a happy towards the end, like: wow, I’m so glad I read it at last. It was more like: Finally, I finished and can move on to the others. In any case, here’s how it went.

The Book and Me

Yes, you know I don’t do reviews on books that I don’t recommend, or liked to some extent, and I am not saying I didn’t like the story entirely, or that it held so much of the same things as the movie, which I have watched countless times. But, I just didn’t feel like it was up to the hype that it had before, or still has now.

And when it was time to put stars in it? I felt the societal pressure, of why are you not putting 4 or 5 in it, seriously, I thought of 4, but I gave it 3 because that’s simply how it felt #sorrynotsorry.

It was entirely by minimal things for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Unlike The Magician’s Nephew, which I was more into, and more intrigued by. But this book had good moments, and others that dragged, and the way it is narrated also bugged me a little, but I have been making my peace with it. Anyway, I did like it, but perhaps I was looking for more depth to it, and found a different style than I expected and not much of the deepness in the characters.

Book vs Movie

I suppose that the two things that I do remember that are missing from the movie, were not that important for the director and screenwriters, that is, Lucy and Susan going with Aslan to the Witch, I mean they were accompanying him and following him through the night, and how he allowed it. And then, how they went with Aslan to the Witch’s home to revive everyone.

But overall, I suppose it was a generally good adaptation, although while reading it, I did feel like there was a bit more magic and sinister tone to the book than the movie, if you ask me, but maybe that’s just me. It didn’t feel all that open, light, fantastical, but more, wow, this creepy stuff is happening in Narnia, an evil witch controls everything, and a bunch of teenagers and a kid will stop her.

It is a fantasy, “children’s” book, I know.

Anyway, that’s all I have on this book, I am reading the next one, The Horse and His Boy, as I am reading in chronological order. And I am more interested in it, even if I am also a bit slow to finish. Expect that review soon, dearies.

Thank you for sticking to the end, and don’t forget to check out the other reviews here on the blog. And also, if you have read this book, let me know in the comments.

TBT: The Hunger Games [THG Book 1]

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Hello, dearies!

Happy Hunger Games!

That’s not it, I mean, hello, it’s been a while, and welcome to a new Throwback Thursday!

Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Or book 1: The Hunger Games?

It can be confusing when talking about it.

I have read it but one time, and it was enough for me. I did like it, of course, and I was surprised because I first hadn’t wanted to read because of how Katniss says things, her POV and voice were a bit strange for me at first.

But I got used to it.

I have a full review for all three books in the trilogy here on the blog. But, today is the Throwback Thursday of THG because it’s been so long since I read this book, and because I felt like rambling a bit about it.

Beautiful Disaster: The Odd Queries that Made Me Laugh

“I knew the second I met you
that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it
wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.”

Hello, everyone! 🤗

I know I shouldn’t laugh. But I did when I read some of the questions online about Beautiful Disaster.

So, I will answer this odd questions because it’s fun, and I like talking about books, more so the ones about the Maddox brothers.

Have you read this book? If you have not, then there might be spoilers ahead, this is the warning for spoilers. I’ll start.

Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

The story of Hartt, and another story to soon go to the story in book 19.

Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

What is Bu Bu Jing Xin? The Novel

‘Zhang Xiao, a white collar worker from 21st century China, discovers that her soul has wandered back in time to the Qing Dynasty during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor and inhabited the body of a teenage Manchu girl, Ma’ertai Ruoxi.’

Hello, dearies! 📚

So I have seen some are curious about Bu Bu Jing Xin, which is literally translated as ‘Scarlet Heart‘ is the novel where Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo came from, I mentioned this on my reviews of this awesome K-Drama, but it all goes back to a book.

I don’t know much to say about it, other than what I have discovered online, so here are my findings.

Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

Hello, dearies! 🩷

Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

Too much?
