Classic Rags-to-Riches books in Money Control:
Jane Eyre - Strength through integrity
Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre follows a poor governess who overcomes hardship through intelligence and moral strength. Her eventual rise comes not from greed but from self-respect and love, proving that true success is rooted in character. (Saurav Pandey)
The Gamer acknowledges that 
Modern gothic games, both horror and not, pull heavily from old gothic novels like Frankenstein, The Castle of Otranto, and Wuthering Heights.  (Zackary Wiggs)
Express visits the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 and learns something about the roses with tea scent:
Tea: Tea-scented roses smell like dried black tea leaves — soft, musky, and soothing. Look for this lovely fragrance in Dame Judi Dench, Emily Brontë, Lady of Shalott, and Vanessa Bell. It’s the scent of a calm summer garden. (Sophie Law)
People magazine recommends some novels:
The Favorites’ by Layne Fargo (...)
Fargo's blockbuster book is framed around a fictional documentary, which details the dramatic rise and fall of an elite figure skating duo. Inspired by Wuthering Heights, and set in the cutthroat sports world a la Carrie Soto, this novel is a riveting love story you won’t be able to put down. (Carly Tagen-Dye)
3DJuegos (Spain) reviews the comic Helen of Wyndhorn (Tom King, Bilquis Evely, Matheus Lopes and Clayton Cowles):
Con un pie en el realismo emocional y otro en la fantasía más desbordante, la historia nos lanza a una espiral de misterio y aventuras que remiten tanto a los mitos clásicos como a las narrativas pulp de principios del siglo XX. Y lo hace con una mezcla estilística que sabe a John Carter de Marte y Conan, pero con el corazón triste de Cumbres Borrascosas y el alma juguetona de El Mago de Oz. (Chema Mansilla) (Translation)
Today recommends love quotes:
Thankfully, love is, quite literally, as old as time, with countless people expressing their feelings. These love quotes can provide you with a clear, thoughtful sentiment. You might want to quote Emily Brontë to the special guy in your life, who wrote in “Wuthering Heights,” “He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” (Sarah Fielding)

The latest episode of The House of Brontë commemorates the 176th anniversary of Anne Brontë's death on May 28, 1849, focusing on her final days in Scarborough with her sister Charlotte and friend Ellen Nussey and highlighting her enduring legacy as a writer.
