The Cheltenham Literary Festival and Mills & Boon organize a survey and a contest:

Does Heathcliff set your heart racing? Or does Darcy make you swoon?

Mills & Boon are heading to the Literature Festival to answer the ultimate question: who is the nation’s favourite literary hero? Launching today, Mills & Boon’s survey seeks to discover which literary hero is guaranteed to set temperatures soaring.

The list includes ten of the best romantic heroes – taken from works by Thomas Hardy to Jane Austen, from the debonair charm of Rupert Campbell Black to the dashing bravery of Richard Sharpe – take part online for the chance to win a fabulous Mill’s & Boon hamper filled with romantic books and champagne. Support your literary hero now!

The ultimate object of desire will be revealed at the Festival in Literary Heroes on 13th October. In true Mills & Boon style, the audience will be served pink champagne by ‘Butlers in the Buff’, after authors Stella Duffy, Katie Fforde, actress Virginia McKenna and best-selling Mills & Boon author Sharon Kendrick discuss their favourite leading men, and what makes an unforgettable literary hero.

Here you can vote and choose among others, Heathcliff or Rochester.

If you feel more like discussing, the Rubery Readers Group has an alert for today, September 25:

We meet in the library on one Friday a month. Tea and coffee are available from 6.15pm and the meetings start at 6.30 pm until 7.30 pm.
