I find this headline hilarious, but applaud anything that means more people are reading. These are lovely and at least they have something to do with the actual contents of the books and are not this because I mean C’MON. YAY READING.

I’ve actually never read anything by the Brontës, I should fix that. I like this edition of Jane Eyre.

These covers are a lot prettier than those heinous Twilight-based covers they gave P&P, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre a few days ago. Black with bright red flowers and whatever.

The Goodreads books added stats for Fifty Shades of Grey.

I’ve been doing this job for a while now, and I have never, ever seen something like that on a stats page. Bonkers.

Damn, son.

This fascinates me.
