So I've been slacking lately on one of my New Year's goals, which of course, is to report to you about my Movie Club! Well earlier last year, I watched Jane Eyre for the first time. I quickly became obsessed with it. Aimee had told me several times that I should read the book because it was her favorite. I actually tried to start it once, but the language was difficult for me to read and I couldn't get into it. Once I watched the Masterpiece Theatre version, however, I read it and had a much easier time reading it.

There is a new Jane Eyre movie coming to theaters soon and I am looking forward to seeing it. So in preparation for that, we decided to watch the version below again. I'm pretty sure it was even better the second time. If you haven't seen it or read it, check it out!!

Downton Abbey

I think this is BBC's newest mini-series. It is set in the years 1912-1914 and is the story of a rich man whose estate is entailed to a related male heir. He has only daughters and so you see where the drama lies. This is a little more "racy" than any Jane Austen book or movie, but no worries, it is still pretty wholesome. At least it has good morals, I think. It took us two weeks to finish the 6-hour series and to my shock and horror...it's not over. It is to be continued in who knows how long. They are currently in production right now. So I guess I'll have to try and be patient. Hopefully it won't be too long. I want to know how it all pans out!

We're trying to get creative with our pictures, but there is only so much to do. Lis is an English teacher and as you might guess, very well read. She has hundreds of books, so we all chose our favorites (or at least something that looked good). I'm holding Jane Eyre. I finally read it last year and it was so great!!
