Oct - Dec 2012 Group Reads: Rebecca

[Michael]

Looks like our next book will be Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier; Which I adore. We will be starting reading this book in October so you have time to get a copy of this book if needed.

[KJ]

Fantastic! I've been wanting to read this for a long time :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

I have a copy of this book, which I read a very long time ago, so will re-read for this group read:)

[Maggie]

Happy to re-read this favourite.

[Elaine]

Loved this book when we did it for our book club. Will try and read it again to refresh my memory on the details.Great choice.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

I'm looking forward to a re-read too Elaine:)

[Yuliya]

I recently read it for other book club and this is was my first book by this writer and I really fall in love in style in intrigue setting of books by Daphne Du Maurier . I also watched two movies (1940, 1997) but still book is better hold you scared and intrigued then movies. I read several more novels and stories by Daphne Du Maurier and always enjoy by her writing style, it so romantic and at the same time very modern.

[Elaine]

Just got my copy of Rebecca. Looking forward to re-reading this classic novel. I know we all say it but seriously "too many books, too little time!!!"

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

My mantra exactly Elaine!

[Windyhill]

I have this as an audiobook so shall listen to it whilst driving to and fro from work

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Good idea Windyhill...two birds...... ;)

[Elaine]

Just realised that I have to return my copy of Rebecca on Monday as someone's reserved it so I've started reading it and although this is the second time round, it's got me hooked....again!!!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

[Windyhill]

[Joanne]

Library actually had copy of Rebecca AND In The Woods available for me to pick up this weekend! Now I just have to decide which to read first. Hmmm.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Coin toss Joanne;) Enjoy, whichever one you read first:)

[Mish]

I've just started reading Rebecca. I'm only 50pages in but I can already tell that I'm hooked and can't wait to get home to read more (currently at work).

The writing is simply superb; it's dark & mysterious from the very first chapter. It reminds me a little of Carlos Ruiz Zafón books/writing...do you think?

[Michael]

I think the gothic elements of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's books must be inspired by Daphne du Maurier's writing style.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Glad you're enjoying it Mish...I'm going to have to re-read it before the end of December:)

Do you remember is much at all Brenda?

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

No I don't Mish, it's absolutely years since I read it...so it'll be like a new read for me I think. From all the comments, I know I must read it again though!

[Sharon]

I've just finished. A reread for me also. Loved it. Hoping to find some time to rewatch the movie also.
Have a Happy Christmas everyone :)
