Brontë(nalia)

See what I did there? Brontë+paraphernalia = Brontë(nalia). I’m so witty sometimes.

I realized WAY too late that in giving Jane Austen, whom I love, her own webpage and list of books, I was short-shifting the Brontës. I mean let’s face it I’m as much a Brontë fanatic as I am a Janeite. I even have a beautiful collection of paperback copies of Wuthering Heights (scroll to the bottom for the gallery of Wuthering Heights related things) AND I wrote a three-part series asking “What about Anne Brontë?” (here, here and here) because I was so intrigued by her!

With the proliferation (ha!), or at least my discovery of more Brontë fan-fiction over the past two years, and the 200th anniversaries of their births starting in 2017, I realized I should dedicate a space to them, so without further ado.
