Far Out Magazine recommends listening to Weyes Blood's atmospheric take on Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.
During last night’s episode of The Strombo Show, we were treated to a Kate Bush special. Undoubtedly due to her making the shortlist for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the show was full of clips and songs from the star. One in particular that stood out was Weyes Blood’s cover of her infamous ‘Wuthering Heights(Jack Whatley)
You can hear it here at the 2h 48m mark.

Fiona Milligan writes in The Times about being a new teacher at your fifties:
Then there’s the children’s vocabulary. Bare, peak, deep, butters and long do not mean what you think they do. At school we sniggered at the word “bosom” in Jane Eyre. Now I would not dream of uttering the word “moist” to describe the effect on the eyes of a moving scene in literature. There would be an uproar. And getting to the end of the day without one of those is still my goal.
The News (Pakistan) on bookworms:
 Although, I had a long list of book titles in my hand, the magnetic pull of many others attracted me. The profound existence of Charlotte Brontë, Ernest Hemingway, Khaled Hosseini, Jeffrey Archer and other esteemed authors lingered in the air. Smiling gleefully, I waltzed between the chocolate brown shelves, perplexed about where to begin my search. (Zainab Khawaja)
Deseret News features a local book club now reading Jane Eyre. On Facebook. the Brontë Parsonage Museum announces that they will be adding products to the Christmas section of their shop in the coming days.
