The Independent (Ireland) has an article on hyperemesis gravidarum which mentions Charlotte Brontë's death:
"It is so much worse than ordinary morning sickness. Researchers now believe that Charlotte Bronte died from it. But most people don't understand the severity. They say: 'Morning sickness? Oh, I had that.'" (Sue Leonard)
Metro.co.uk introduces us to a new Brontëite: Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief:
'And I love the Brontës; anything with a big house where crazy things are going on and someone's locked up in the attic,' she enthuses. (Tina Jackson)
Helen Mead writing in The Telegraph & Argus makes a terrible confession:
I’m taking a deep breath now, as I admit to another glaring gap in my education – I’ve never read a book by a Bronte. Dare I show my face in Haworth again?
Fortunately, these kinds of things are easy to solve :)

Rosa Montero in El País Semanal slips a Haworth reference in her column:
Hace años, visitando el pequeño cementerio inglés en donde yacen las hermanas Brönte (sic), leí en una lápida cercana una inscripción que, traducida del inglés, decía así: “En donde tú estás ahora estuve yo; donde yo estoy ahora tú estarás”. (Google translation)
Vana Hipi posts in Estonian about the the current production of Wuthering Heights by the Vanemuine Theatre (or rather we think so).
