Oh Jane Eyre

What’s a book you never finished but still think about?

I have an illustrated copy of Jane Eyre that I have been trying to read for many years. It’s not that I don’t like it. I have read the story before as a teen, but never all the way through. I will try again.

Have you read Jane Eyre? Did you like it? Why or why not?

Love & Light, Lori
