World Book Day is on March 3rd and The Week recommends the 'best UK travel and hotel experiences for book lovers.

Penzance and The Edge of the World Bookshop

Maria Branwell, mother of the famed Brontë sisters, was born in Penzance in 1783 before moving to Yorkshire, whilst renowned poet Alfred Tennyson used to holiday in Penzance before sailing across to the Scilly Isles with fellow writer Francis Turner Palgrave. Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas was also familiar with the Cornish town, marrying Caitlin Macnamara at the Penzance Registry Office in 1937. [...]

Literary inspired weekends in England

England’s literary landscapes and locations are “as diverse as the writers they stirred”, said the VisitEngland tourism board. “From organised trails to self-guided literary trips, there are chances for inspiration all over the country.”

Enjoy “splendiferous fun” at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen in Bath, discover Charles Dickens’s Broadstairs in Kent or explore the beautiful home and surroundings that inspired classic Brontë novels in Haworth, West Yorkshire.

BuzzFeed recommends some books according to your favourite TV show:

4. If you love The Haunting of Bly Manor, try Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood

Why you should read it: Gothic nerds, this one is for you. If you want more of the intimate relationships and gothic vibes of Bly Manor, Within These Wicked Walls bleeds romance and bonds that go deeper than its eerie walls. 

An Ethiopian re-imagining of Jane Eyre, Lauren Blackwood introduces Andromeda, an exorcist hired to cleanse the young heir’s gothic halls. You’ll love Lauren Blackwood’s fresh voice. Imagine Mr. Rochester as a dramatic feral cat desperate for the love of one very darling exorcist. Dear reader, it’ll cause you such deep brutal feelings that you’ll be crawling up publishing’s icy towers for more. (Brigid Flanagan)

'Unforgettable Storms in Literature' on Ozy.

And in Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, frequent moorland storms parallel the passion between protagonists Heathcliff and Cathy, as well as the forces of fate that human emotion cannot defy. Mellow or sweeping, sinister or sweet, literary storms add punch to the plotline.

And famous animals from literature in La Diaria (Uruguay).

El vínculo de los escritores con los animales conforma un destacado capítulo dentro de la literatura. No me refiero a aquellas obras en las que un animal en particular ocupa el centro de la acción, lo que constituye toda una categoría en sí misma (y en la que se pueden ubicar, a modo de ejemplo, sin ningún afán de completitud y echando mano a la biblioteca más cercana, obras tan variadas como Moby Dick de Herman Melville, Sirio de Olaf Stapledon, Platero y yo de Juan Ramón Giménez, Colmillo blanco de Jack London, Flush de Virginia Woolf, Mi familia y otros animales de Gerald Durrell, Soy un gato de Natsume Soseki, Viajes con Charley de John Steinbeck y Tombuctú de Paul Auster), sino a la propia relación establecida entre los escritores con diversos animales. Dentro de esa categorización, la mayoría de los destinatarios del afecto, la atención y los desvelos de los escritores suelen ser perros (el galgo Lux de Victor Hugo, el mastín Keeper de Emily Brontë, el pastor alemán Remo de Miguel de Unamuno, el poodle Basket de Gertrude Stein, el bulldog inglés Charlie J Fatburger de Truman Capote) y gatos (el Beppo de Jorge Luis Borges, el Boise de Ernest Hemingway, el Lowe de Hermann Hesse, el Rien de Jean-Paul Sartre, el TW Adorno de Julio Cortázar).

This columnist from Evening Standard shares his list of things he'd cancel if he could. 

The fourth series of Succession and Killing Eve. Any show with the premise “which of them will win?” automatically expires from narrative exhaustion after series three (or in the case of Killing Eve, series one). And TV adaptations of Dickens. And film adaptations of Austen. And any adaptations of the Brontë sisters’ novels. Just lazy. (Nick Curtis)

No need to cancel anything: just look away and get on with your life.

Express announces that,

Jane McDonald will return for the second episode of My Yorkshire on Sunday, February 27.
