MY YEAR OF THE BRONTË SISTERS . . 2025 was my year of Jane Austen, I spent much of my time engrossed in her world and what a treat it was. In 2026, I’m dedicating my time to the works of the Brontë sisters, Charolette, Emily and Anne. Although I’ve read both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights in the past, I can’t wait to dive back in alongside their sister work. featuring: JANE EYRE wuthering heights THE PROFESSOR agnes grey VILETTE the tenant of wildfell hall SHIRLEY

book review: Winter Love by Han Suyin . . page count: 160 pages genre: literary fiction, historical, LGBTQ . . notes: A quaint story of love in World War II London between two women, Red and Mara.. after meeting in school their friendship blossoms into much more, but Mara is married and Red can’t help but self sabotage their love out of fear and her own internal struggle with who she is. . . thoughts: I feel like I always say this when it comes to McNally Editions works, but they all have that ‘‘quiet, but innately human” quality to them that I can’t help but adore. There’s always something to relate to, despite the fact that many of their works are classics, so they’ve been written years ago and have lots of historical context (another thing I love about them). This one had all the staples that make McNally the best of the best reads. It’s crazy how such a short book can encole so many emotions in such a small amount of time. There were quite a few things that stood out to me. I was struck by a queer love story told in historic times, where such love was taboo. The book only mentions the word ‘lesbian’ once, but the love between Mara and Red is clear even though they both seem confused on how to define it based on their feelings verses social norms of the times. The historical context of war is also ever present and intriguing, where many men were gone and London was run by women. It was all so captivating, I highly recommend this one. . . 4.25/5 Thank you for the gifted copy @mcnallyeditions - happy to celebrate #mcnallyspring
