Jane Eyre Read-Along: Week 2

JANE EYRE READ-ALONG BUTTON 1


This event is being hosted by  



This week we discussed Chapters 1-5:
 

1.) The novel opens on a very dreary, rainy November afternoon. How do you think this contributes to the general mood of the first chapter? 

As much as I love the rain, rain is usually seen as something negative in a story. In this instance, the rain gave the first chapter the sense of gloom and entrapment for our heroine. 
 

2.) What literary function do curtains and draperies have in the opening chapters?

With the arrival of Jared Moody, the new hire at work, Julia’s mundane life is suddenly turned upside down.

Here are the first week's discussion questions:




What do you know about this novel and its author?
Have you ever read it before, or is this your first reading?

I read Jane Eyre over ten years ago in high school. I was in an AP English course and Jane Eyre was on the list of many recommended reads. Not everyone in class picked to read this book, but I'm glad that I did for it became one of my favorite classics.

Spotlight of The Second Coming: A Love Story by Scott Pinsker

The Second Coming: A Love Story
By Scott Pinsker

Two men claim to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  Each claims the other is Satan in disguise.  But only one is telling the truth… and damned if anyone knows who’s who.

In The Second Coming: A Love Story, author Scott Pinsker takes a battle-axe to the Left Behind clichés, reimagining the End Days prophecies as an unruly theo-thriller: Soon after the earthly arrivals of two VERY different Second Comings, the United States splits along ideological lines, with Red America swiftly swearing allegiance to the conservative “savior” and Blue America (naturally) worshiping at the altar of the other.  A cutthroat Culture War-turned-Holy War explodes, with both sides waging a win-at-all-costs marketing campaign to prove their savior’s supremacy.

It’s finally happened: Red America and Blue America are headed for Armageddon!

A roving paparazzi lens changes all that for them. . .
Can Daniel forgive Mary for hiding her past - and her present? Will their relationship break like a violin string - or will their love endure the chaos?

Review: Knight of Light (The Watchers #1) by Deirdra Eden


“The Watchers” are supernatural beings in human form, charged with protecting mankind from the armies of darkness. Unfortunately, some of these Watchers go bad.

Deirdra Eden’s The Watcher’s Series is written in a traditional fairytale style with a young girl’s discovery of incredible, but dangerous powers within herself, a cast of humorous side-kicks, a quest for greater self-discovery and purpose, and villains of epic proportions.

In England, 1270 A.D., Auriella (pronounced yurr-ee-ella) flees her village after being accused of witchcraft. Pursued by nightmarish creatures, she struggles to accept the truth about her humanity.
