Wishlist Wednesday | Reader, I Married Him Edited by Tracy Chevalier

Jane Eyre Inspired Short Stories One More Page Blog

Happy Wednesday, friends! In an effort to give some structure to my blogging schedule, I’ve decided to bring back my weekly Wishlist Wednesday posts for the time being. They’re always so fun to write, and I am never out of ideas for it. 😉 If you’re unfamiliar with it, I basically pick a title (frontlist or backlist) that I haven’t read but am dying to read. If you’re a bookworm with a massive TBR, you’ll understand just how large my selection is when deciding which books to feature. That being said, here’s one book that will be at the top of my reading pile when it comes out.

Ever since I found out about Reader, I Married Him I’ve been so anxious/excited to read it. According to its description, it’s a collection of short stories, edited by Tracy Chevalier, that all start with one iconic line: “Reader, I married him” (from the classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë). As an English lit nerd (more on that in Friday’s post!), I absolutely love the idea of this and I can’t wait to see where the selected authors take their stories. I’m willing to bet that each story will be wildly different despite the common sentence. I seriously can’t wait for it! Here are some of the writers that are involved in this project: Emma Donoghue (Room), Evie Wyld (All The Birds, Singing), Patricia Park  (Re Jane), Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler’s Wife), etc.

It comes out on March 22nd this year, and you bet I’ll be reading it soon after.

What are you guys looking forward to reading soon?
