Hat tip to JaneFan! Laura's Reviews is hosting a read-a-thon challenge called the All About The Brontes Challenge, which invites participants to read or watch 3 Bronte-penned or Bronte-related works in the upcoming year.
I've already read the complete Bronte novels including most of Charlotte's juvenilia (but not quite all), and a bunch of major Bronte-inspired works, so my goals are a bit eclectic, but awesome nonetheless:
1. The Infernal World of Branwell Bronte by Daphne Du Maurier.
2.The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1996 - Masterpiece Theatre starring Tara Fitzgerald and Toby Stephens) I'd also like to re-read the book, which I read in high school at the recommendation of an English teacher, and don't remember that well, though I do recall absolutely loving it.
3.The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell. A must-read I've shamefully put off. But my honey got this for me for Hannukah! What a guy.
Anyone else want to do this challenge? Check it out here!

I'm organizing a Jane Eyre book club type thing on facebook later this month! :) Clearly Brontes are in the air.
ReplyDeleteIt is ON!!! I haven't done a Bronte spree in a long long time.
ReplyDeleteOh, Toby Stephens is adorable in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The book is on my list this year. Enjoy the film!
