Nerd Daily interviews the author Hannah Bonam-Young:
The one [book] that you can’t stop thinking about: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (Elise Dumpleton
Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier hailed a career milestone as they won their first International Skating Union championship title in the Four Continents ice dance in Shanghai on Sunday.

There are lost and sad souls in this world who don't vibrate with Emily Brontë's novel. John Self in The Critic is one of them. We mourn for him:
Good novels have always been heavily buffeted in the marketplace of ideas. “Many books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered,” said W.H. Auden, who had clearly never heard of Wuthering Heights
The best shows in Paramount+ according to The Sunday Times, including the newly revived Frasier:
Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old friend Alan, Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David and Toks Olagundoye as Roz analogue Olivia promise to become more than makeweight substitutes for the original cast, while jokes about Oedipus and the Brontë sisters prove there’s been no shedding of wit. (Tim Glanfield, Joe Clay)

Several Italian news outlets (Libero, Mymovies, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno) mention tonight's broadcast of Jane Eyre 1986 on Iris TV. Newsd (India) lists the Brontës as one of the 'remarkable facts' regarding Yorkshire. Cosmopolitan (Spain) lists Wuthering Heights among the 110 love stories that will hook you. Matrimonio (Italy) also includes Emily Brontë's novel in a list of "unforgettable love stories".
