Always so much fun to make lists and nothing is better than a list of favorite books! Here goes my top ten!! 1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Classic tale of the love between Heathcliff and Cathy set amongst the English Moors. While it doesn't have a happily ever after the passion and the depth of feeling between Heathcliff and Cathy is entrancing. 2. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte The story of a poor, unlovable orphan girl who finds a place in the world at last beside a man who is more broken than her? Haunting and beautiful I could read this over and over. What can I say? I love the Bronte sisters #fanalert
There are so many others I could add to this list but I would be here forever!!
As you can see there is quite a bit of variety ranging from classics, historical romances (bodice rippers hehe) to young adult. But they all have romance and heart stopping love at their core and most have a happy ending. Another thing they all have in common is the way they've influenced my own writing. Just a flick through Time After Time and you will find references to Healthcliff and Cathy and in Harris House is strongly influenced by Jane Eyre. What are some of your favorite books? And how have they influenced you? I would love to hear your stories. bye for now Wendy xx
