I know, right! Experimentation is part of the process of adaptation & reinvention. I have no problem with people not liking a version, but the "it's not a perfect adaptation of the text so it's a bad film that should never have been made" discourse is bizarre to me.

I hated the zombie version :D But then I wrote my own version with dragons so I can't throw stones! I think the "purist" perspective on adaptations is really boring & doesn't take into account that classic works get a ZILLION adaptations, allowing for some experimentation along the way.

It is bedtime so I will leave you with the most excellent and accurate vibes-based Wuthering Heights adaptation of all time.

I would add more to the Wuthering Heights discourse, but I'm too busy being mad that the 1939 film adaptation completely left out my girl Catherine Linton and her epic romance between a sick cousin who is mean to her, and a hot cousin she can teach to read.

In conclusion I genuinely thought I was the only person who likes Wuthering Heights, the most unromantic book about terrible people that ever existed, and I'm quite excited it apparently has so many people willing to defend it to the death.

One more: have the Emily Bronte fans who are upset that the film of Wuthering Heights is not "accurate to the book" considered that a film accurate to the book would be 12 hours of grim shakycam footage of moors, narrated by some random who stole the story from a cranky housekeeper?

Follow up question: do you think all the people who seem super outraged that Margot Robbie is "too old" to play Catherine Earnshaw have heard how old Kenneth Branagh was when he played Hamlet in a film he directed himself?

Do you think all these people so furious about the new Wuthering Heights movie have heard there's a version of Pride and Prejudice with zombies in it?

These things are also true.

Thank you so much! I’ve been loving yours for a very long time. Xx

Jo Walton’s Reading List: November 2025 - Reactor Heists! A gentleman-thief! Plus some very good romance (with and without magic)…

Just putting this link here, not for any particular reason... (squeal, Jo Walton read my book!) reactormag.com/jo-waltons-r...

It's Tallulah Cunningham!

We locked our choice in (by accident!)on 4 Dec due to the Season 3 finale in our GLOW rewatch. So I guess no Blackadder for me this year!

I think Whammageddon is due for retirement. It’s time to sign up for Carolgeddon where you aim to get through the whole of December having only seen ONE adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

Last day to get a bunch of cool fantasy old & new with strong female leads on @storybundle.bsky.social

Power and Majesty is one of my all time favourites, so do go check this bundle out!

The Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle:
You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's a love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness.
These are not those stories. storybundle.com/fantasy

Check out this month's Storybundle curated by Charlotte E English -- featuring fantasy with strong female leads! a great way to pick up new reads including my own Power & Majesty

Fair.

Women miss out on all the duels!

I think it's hilarious that most people cite Anne Rice as the 'cautionary tale' for authors responding badly to book reviewers, when Lord Byron is RIGHT THERE and no literary critics ever challenged Anne Rice to a duel for being mean to them.
