    Hope you had a nice break vixen  :smile: I really enjoyed Pride & Prejudice as well.Have you heard of Longbourn by Jo Baker ? It's the servants view of life in the Bennett household, it's on my want to read list for this year  :D

     

    Had a fantastic break thanks  :smile:

     

    I haven't heard of that book, but I will go ahead and purchase it. Any book related to pride and prejudice takes my interest  :smile:

    In our house there is no such thing as space, Pixie  :D

     

     

    Thanks Vixen  :D  Wuthering Heights is one of my all time favourite books & films, it's listed on my TBR list as i'm going to reread it for the English Counties Challenge. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it but i guess it's not everybody's cup of tea. Do you have a favourite classic ?

    Sorry haven't been around for a week, went away on a little break :)

     

    My favourite classic would have to be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

    Happy reading in 2014 Vixen. I have a few books on my TBR that you have on yours so it will be good to see what you think of them as the year goes on. I haven't read any on your TBR but that's not that unusual for me :D

     

    I have read a different Orhan Pamuk book in the past, Snow, and I found it really enjoyable.

    That's great to hear, think I'll have to add Snow to my TBR.. :)

    Hi vixen,

     

    I've got a number of books on my TBR pile that are the same as yours so shall be stopping by regularly :D

     

    I really enjoyed Gone Girl and particularly The Time Traveler's Wife! Just don't watch the film of the latter, it annoyed me after reading the book!

     

    Happy reading in 2014.

    Thanks Alexi, Ill stop by your thread also to see your views on the books we share in common  :smile:

     

    I am particularly excited to read Gone Girl, I've heard it is a great read.

     

    Ill take up your advice about not watching The Time Traveler's Wife movie  :P

     

    Hi Vixen

      Best Wishes on your Reading 2014 ! 

    Thanks Julie

    Welcome to the world of the book blog Vixen, we all love seeing what others have read and what they may read in the future and I for one am always amazed at how many more books I find to add to my own wish list! :)

     

    Of the ones on your list I have read and loved..

     

    The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

     

    The Help by Kathryn Stockett

     
    Happy New Reading Year!  :smile:  :readingtwo:  :smile:

     

    Thanks Chaliepud! I look forward to seeing what the others have read during the year...

     

    Great to hear The Time Travellers Wife and The Help are good reads.

     

    Here are some comments on your TBR books:

     

    Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

    I loved this book, it's one of my favourite classics.

     

    The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

    I loved this book, highly recommended!

     

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

    I quite liked this book, although it didn't live up to the huge hype it had for me when I read it.

     

    On my TBR:

    Life of Pi by Yann Martel

    Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

    The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

    Persuasion by Jane Austen

    Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

    Emma by Jane Austen

    Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding

     

    On my wishlist:

    The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

     

    Happy Reading in 2014, Vixen :)!

    Look like we have quite a few books in common on our TBR lists... I look forward to your thoughts on them.

     

    Happy reading and book blogging in 2014 Vixen! :D

    Yes Jane Austen has never disappointed me. Except slightly when Anne Hathaway played her. Even though I like Anne Hathaway.

    Jane Eyre is great. Silly me, I put off reading it for years. But it is such a meaty story. Not pansy or girly at all. Watch the movie with Mia whatsername too 

    I think I am the silly one, I didn't even know there was a movie out. Ill have to watch it after I read the book.

    There are some really good ones on your TBR pile. :smile:

     

    Some I have really enjoyed and recommend are:

     

    Life of Pi by Yann Martel

    Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

    The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

    The Help by Kathryn Stockett

     

    That's great to hear. I'm definitely looking forward to reading each and every one of them  :smile:

     

    Hi Vixen a nice manageable TBR pile there! You should steam through that. I have read and enjoyed all the Austens on your list and Jane Eyre too. Life Of Pi is still on my own TBR. Happy reading.

    Thought I'd start small and then add more as I go. I will buy heaps more in the coming year so there should be a fair amount added later on/ 

     

    I loved Austens Pride and Prejudice, even watch the movie adaption of it (BBC version) thousands of times! Thought I'd go onto reading a few more by Austen.

     

    Hi Vixen :)

    The very best of luck with your reading in 2014 :)

     

    I love looking at TBR lists .. it's like peeking at people's bookshelves .. I try to do that if I'm walking past a house with its curtains open :blush2: 

     

    You've got some great reads ahead of you (in particular the Jane Austen's, Jane Eyre, Life of Pi, The Help and The Perks of being a Wallflower) Happy Reading!

    I feel the same  :smile:

     

     

    Hi Vixen. :) I hope you'll enjoy Jane Eyre - I loved it, and look forward to hearing what you think. I'll also be interested to hear your thoughts on Alif the Unseen, as it's been on my wishlist for a while. :)

    It looks like Jane Eyre is a must read, I have had alot of people recommend it to me. 

     

    When I read the blurb for Alif the Unseen I said to myslef I have to read this! I will let you know how I go :smile:

    Hi Kidsmum,

     

    It's great to see we have common books on our TBR piles. I haven't read any Orhan Pamuk books before also, but coming from a Turkish background I have heard he writes well. Plus I guess its a bonus that he also won the Nobel prize a few years back  :smile: Once I get around to reading it I will let you know my thoughts  :smile:

     

    For years I have been meaning to read Jane Eyre however never got around to it. Hopefully I'll get around to reading it this year :gl:

    Thanks Julie :smile:

     

    Welcome here :)! Your dog looks very cute. I love The Book Thief, I read it earlier this year and thought it was such a powerful story.

    I agree with you, it was very powerful. I don't remember the last time I cried like reading a book...

    Hello Vixen, and  :welcome2:  to BCF. 

    Hi Marie! Thanks!

     

    Hello and welcome! The Book Thief is one of my favourites too.

    Thanks! I think it is a must read for all...

     

    Welcome! You have great taste, dogs and The Book Thief! :)
