Recently I entered a contest hosted by BronteBlog.com to win a free copy of the book Becoming Jane Eyre by Sheila Kohler. Not long ago I got an email saying that I won and today my book arrived! It is a truly beautiful book. I’ve never seen a paperback of such high quality. It has a folded cover that seems more like a book jacket and the pages have a deckled edge that is so quaint and elegant.

The coolest thing about winning the contest (besides just winning, which I rarely do) is that this was the only Bronte-related book on my 2010 reading list that the main library downtown didn’t have. The Chicago Public Library is unbelievable, and the fact that they had all 10 or 15 of the books I was looking for besides this one is so impressive to me. And thanks to the contest, the Bronte portion of my book list is complete! Thank you again, Bronte Blog!
