Oh my.... I literally LOL when I saw this. We still have books 3 and 4 up our sleeve for a future challenge, we left our intrepid hero and heroines hanging... just sayin'. Be afraid... be very afraid. 😜

My plans are walking off the covid/Christmas kilos, LOL. And reading of course. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend wherever you are.

Bronte peeps, LOL. Yep, guilty as charged.

I just finished watching it too, Karen. Wasn't it good. I hope they make another series. But I watched with a lovely cup of tea, LOL.

All done.

Here's the link to my shelf imaginatively titled - Uno - 2022 - 😜

The BOM for February over at NBRC is which I'll be reading and can be used for a duplicate 0 Red if needed.

Ah! That seriously gives me goosebumps. I l..."

Oh me too. Tolstoy's would be amazing, although I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Anna Karenina. Love the BBC adaption, the book not so much. The other places I've visited which I loved are Louisa May Alcott's house and Beatrix Potter's Hill Top. Museums now, all set up how they lived in them. And my biggest miss was trying to go to PEI to see the Anne of Green Gables house. The weather was so bad the cruise ship I was on had to sail right past.. with me crying ( and puking) in the cabin. But it's still on the list someday.

Cool!

I understand what you mean about Heathcliff. It is actually one of the things I love about the book... every time..."

I actually think Catherine was worse. One part of me understands she was a woman of a certain class in a certain time and had to marry for her advantage. Yes she was headstrong, emotional and over dramatic but so very cruel at times.

OMG... Sally what a great story. There's a few WH connections in this group, it's positively gothic!

Wow, Sammy, My best friend who I travelled there with, her maiden name is Keighley. Her Dad's family originally came from there about 7 generations ago. I loved the area although I went in September it's probably pretty brutal in winter.

Colour covers - I've got a Blue 1 or 3 and Green 1. I can do more but I'll try not to get over excited and hog too many, LOL.

Sammy, great to playing on a team with you again.

I re-read Wuthering Heights a few years ago after I visited the Parsonage and appreciated it a different light from when I was younger when it was all about the ill fated romance and the brooding hotness of Heathcliff. The language is so beautiful. And it's not really a love story at all, but how circumstances mold people and how two people who supposedly love each other really bring out the absolute worst in each other.

Hi everyone,

Lots of familiar faces in our team and a few new ones to get to know which is lovely. This is my 7th UNO challenge, it's such fun. I'm from Sydney, Australia and we also have a farming property in southern NSW. I'm a Mum to 3 and Nanna to 5 with another one on the way in April which is exciting. Other than my family my passions are reading and travelling which I'm hoping to resume towards the end of this year with a cruise through the Suez Canal and down the Red Sea.

So thrilled we are Team Wuthering Heights. I'm with Karen, my favourite book since I read it when I was 14 many moons ago, and in 2017 I had the privilege of visiting the Bronte Parsonage and seeing the table where they wrote their books and poems!! I have seen just about all the movies and series, and thinking the original movie with Lawrence Olivier and Merle Oberon is probably the best. And who doesn't love Kate Bush and her red dress, singing, "Heathcliff, It's me, Cathy I've come home..." 💕

Great theme Mods as always. And THRILLED to be on Team Wuthering Heights! May the planning begin. Good luck and happy reading everyone.

I just read this over in another group. I agree it's not what I usually read but it was really good. Great book to discuss for a group read.

]Oh so generous with sharing the colour covers. It is a competition bwahahahahahah..

Just joking, here are some of mine..

Oh UNO... how I love thee.

I've been playing since 2016 and looking forward to hunting for those colour covers.

Signed up!

I enjoyed it as well and would definitely read more from this author. She did a good job of marrying the two threads together. Towards the end I though we may find out that Caroline was a descendant of Eliza and there was more than just a coincidence that Caroline had found the bottle that started her investigation. Probably more realistic that she wasn't though.

I've just started and enjoying it so far.. I'm interested to find out how the stories connect. If there's more than (view spoiler)[ Caroline finding the bottle in the Thames.. (hide spoiler)]

Great effort everyone. See you back for UNO 2022!

Congratulations to the winning team and everyone who played. It was a fabulous challenge. Thank you Mods and the Uno Pixie.

See you all back for Uno 2022!

I'm done! Can't believe UNO is finished for another year. Thanks team and the Uno Pixie!
