Life has been lifeing lately on this blog! While I still find time for the occasional new book and book review, my life has largely been taken over by soccer and mom life things these last couple of years so posts about book reviews etc have been scarce. That doesn’t mean I have abandoned my blog or reading by any means…..it just means pressing pause for now on some things and focusing on this new soccer mom season of life.
But that said, you know I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to do a quick review on the new Wuthering Heights film! If you have been around a while then you will know just how much I love this classic. I used to re-read it every single Thanksgiving break and while it’s been a while since I have done that, I am still a HUGE fan of anything Wuthering Heights and when I saw this new film was coming out…..I couldn’t WAIT to watch it.
I watched a few interview with the director, Emerald Fennell, and knew that it would be a loosely based remake. I assumed there would be a lot of creative license and differences from the book although I wasn’t expecting so many changes. I am not familiar with any of Fennell’s previous films so I went in not knowing what to expect but I did assume that it would be more of an ‘artsey’ film just based on some of the trailers etc. But I wasn’t ready for just how different this film would be.
From here on out there might be spoilers so please consider this your warning.
Let’s start from the beginning.

Even though I was a big reader as a child, this book just never made it on my to be read list. I wasn’t into fantasy as a kid and thus this book never appealed to me. I was way more into the American Girl books than Narnia and I even went to a Catholic school…..the Narnia books are practically required reading at Catholic schools!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big Jane Austen fan. I love her novels with my favorite being Persuasion. I have read most of her popular novels but confess I haven’t had a chance to read her unfinished works such as Sandtion.
I am about to come at you with an unpopular opinion. I haven’t read Lord of the Rings, I watched the films but was completely lost and hated them so much. I’ve tried to watch them so many times and simply gave up.
