found the english; The House I Loved - Paris, France: 1860's. Hundreds of houses are being razed, whole neighborhoods reduced to ashes. By order of Emperor Napoleon III, Baron Haussman has set into motion a series of large-scale renovations that will permanently alter the face of old Paris, moulding it into a "modern city." The reforms will erase generations of history—but in the midst of the tumult, one woman will take a stand.

This last one was a quiz book made during the 2020 Covid Appeal for BPM:



It consists of 400 Brontë questions and I'm rather surprised / proud that I scored 303 ! !

She was Charlotte's friend and first biographer
My favourite gothic shorts are The Old Nurse's Story and Lois the Witch

My favourite of her novels is Ruth:

How would I find them? ^

I don't opt for notifications on anything I write, and I have killer ADHD, so it's a crap-shoot whether or not I see responses and questions.

Sorry about that! Next time just kick me if I don't reply.

Current book:

Imagine - women with brains, cooperating against the establishment.

This book is brilliant.

Wait, what?
Women with brains? I thought women had tits!
