I think it would be cross-shelved (as the classic is now), possibly seen as historical fiction in both sections. I think teens relate to the emotional changes Jane experiences more so than any other group. She has left behind her adolescence to accept this position as a nanny (although she teaches prior to that position, she is still in her "childhood" home) and encounters adult-situations that she's not quite sure how to navigate. It's very much a coming-of-age story, and a favorite of mine!
Hi Carmen! Thanks for the friend request - and yes, everyone is special in their own ways ;)If Jane Eyre were published in today's times - which I honestly don't believe it would have been because it has nothing to do with today's trends - I think that it'd be one of those books nobody is sure about, which nobody knows who to recommend it to. It's a book that definitely has to do with adolescence, but it is also very centered on growing up and making adult situations. It'd probably be categorized in the adult section. What do you think?
34 Pieces of You has its own Pinterest Board. There are quotes from the novel and pictures to go with it! You should check it out!http://pinterest.com/34PiecesOfYou/
Aw, thanks Precious Mae! Such lovely words! And thank you for adding 34 PIECES OF YOU to your TBR list! Means a lot to me. :)
M and R just seemed like a good fit. It was really surprising to find out that they had broken up, totally unexpected.
I post a new chapter once a week! But I assure you, you will find out why M and R broke up. Do you like them together?
you need to finish posting a little something please i have finished what you've got up there i hope you explain why marisol and ryan broke up
You're sweet, Teazia! I'm so glad you're enjoying the chapters! Since it's a serial novel (not hardbound or e-book), I took it off Goodreads. Just consider it my gift to you and the rest of my readers! :) Can't wait to see what you think of 34 PIECES OF YOU when it comes out this September. :)
