Jane Eyre is my favorite book of all time!"
Jane Eyre is right up there for me too. There’s mystery and suspense, tragedy, love, & triumph, with a hint of the supernatural. The love could have been raunchy but I’m also a big Anne Rice fan. Little Earthquakes is the only Jennifer Weiner book I’ve read, I usually turn to Jane Green for my chic-lit but I think J.W. is a great second option. I’ve gone through almost all of Green and I don’t care much for Candace Bushnell.

You loved Jane Eyre so I think you’ll enjoy Wuthering Heights. There is definitely a lot more intrigue. Those Brontë sisters produced great work.


Funny that you say that, it's on my to-read list. And that was also Alison Weir's inspiration.

I had sworn off Bushnell but a close friend insisted that I read Lipstick Jungle. I was disappointed in the Sex and the City book, after being a devoted fan of the show, and Trading Up wasn’t much better. Lipstick Jungle was a pleasant surprise, heck it even inspired me to take over the world.

I see you've read the first couple in the Mrs. Pollifax series. What did you think? It's one of my favorite series . . . I've been reading them in order and I have to say "Mrs. Pollifax on Safari" is my favorite so far. But the books that come before it give it context that makes it all the more enjoyable.

I agree reading series in order is the way to go. I usually go to the library and at the time I didn't know which book came after the Unexpected Mrs. Polifax so, I just picked up Innocent Tourist. It just so happened that Farrell was also in this book but Cyrus was a curve ball. I must read the others in order to get the scoop.
