Books I Keep Meaning to Read (but haven’t) #L&SR #WednesdayBlogChallenge 9-11-19
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge, Books I Keep Meaning to Read (but haven’t). Well the list is so long that I won’t burden you with them all. Sticking to only four, one being a series of seventeen books. Wow now that is biting off more than I can chew…I mean read.
Whuthering Heights – As the housekeeper sits and knits she spins the tale of the tempestuous love story of Cathy and Heathcliff, slowly but surely you are pulled in to all the machinations that the Lintons and Earnshaws and the orphan Heathcliff engage in across the cold, damp, windswept moors of the Yorkshire estate.
Okay now I remember why I haven’t gotten around to read it. One has to wonder state of mind Emily Bronte was in when she wrote the turbulent tale in 1847.
The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R. Ward. It’s my understanding there are currently 17 books in the series. That is a daunting task for a writer, with reviews due and deadlines looming. But….
Some of my books have been compared to hers several times by readers and reviewers. Are they crazy? So it’s time to check out just how tempting the night can be in these Black Dagger Brotherhood books. And whether there is any truth to the comparisons. One can only hope.
I have purchased the books so that is a step in the right direction, don’t you think?
Yes of course, my old standby, Molly Harper has a new book out, Silkies Are a Girl’s Best Friend, newest book from the Mystic Bayou Series. It’s on audiobook, so I stand a better than average chance of getting this one read or to be exactly correct, listened to in the near future. Is that cheating? Depending on the looming deadlines. LOL
Vendetta in Death, – J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) I’ve tried a couple of her J.D. Robb novels and didn’t really enjoy them. Friends have said I just picked less than stellar ones. So I’ve been meaning to give the series a try again. We’ll see.
There you have it Books I Keep Meaning to Read (but haven’t). Any books you’ve been meaning to read but haven’t? I’d love to hear them. Please list them in the comments.

Wuthering Heights was a very thought-provoking story. I hope you like it.
My post.
I’ve just started it. Thanks for stopping by!
I prefer Jane Eyre to Wuthering Heights, but I definitely recommend reading it.
Guess I’ll have to add Jane Eyre to my list of books to read. Thanks for stopping by!
I read the first couple Black Dagger Brotherhood books years ago when they were new and couldn’t get into them. However, I recently picked up book #1 again because it was $0.99 on Kindle so… I’m going to give it another shot. Hope you enjoy all these when you get around to them.

Thank you Aymee for stopping by. Found you list interesting, going to check out a couple.
I have some personal issues with Wuthering Heights, but the Black Dagger Brotherhood books look interesting. Too many books, not enough time!
My list is here:

Too many books, no enough time is exactly right! the issues may be why Wuthering Heights is still on my books shelf. Thanks for stopping by!
I preferred Jane Eyre to Wuthering Heights, too, although I don’t want to imply one sister was a better author 🙂 Impressive list you have there, Tena! Good luck with them all.
Thank you Barbara, glad you stopped by. Guess I check out both. LOL
I loved Zee’s story in the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I got about halfway through the series and quit, but I did like the first few a lot.
Good to know. Thank s for stoppng by!
Thanks for posting this on fb. Wuthering Heights seems to keep popping up in these lists.
Yes it does. I’ll have to take a look at it.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for stopping by earlier. I love Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
Hey Judy! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment?
Wuthering Heights definitely deserves a try, Tena. It’s a bit melodramatic, but emotionally intense to the point that you *might* have to take a break.
Before I started writing “Romance” with a capital R, WH was my model. Of course, without a happy ending, it doesn’t qualify by today’s standards.
Happy reading!
Thank you for your insight Lisabet! I prefer Happy Endings, so we’ll see on Wuthering Hights. Thanks for stopping in!
