Hello everyone. Please forgive my absence here. I have had quite a busy month so far. I was hoping to get some more blog posts done last week but I think I only accomplished one or so posts. Before this crazy month I was posting almost every day, which is a lot, but I was having fun doing that. And I was having even more fun interacting with all you bloggers.

Who? Brooding About the Brontës is a week event hosted by Girl with her head in a book. The full Announcement & Sign Up is here, along with the 411 information here. And the Launch & Link up post is available here.
As I have said in my post from Day 1, I haven’t read that many books by the Brontë’s. I only recall reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.
I am currently reading the Dover edition to the Brontë Sister‘s collection of Poems. The book is called Best Poems of the Brontë Sisters, featuring 47 poems by all three sisters. Their poetry is really great. I am in awe at these poems right now.
Here’s a little something from one of them:
“I love the silent hour of night,
For blissful dreams may then arise,
Revealing to my charmed sight
What may not bless my waking eyes.”
― Anne Brontë, Best Poems of the Brontë Sisters
I highly recommend reading some of these poems. They are lovely.

The Brontë family consisted with 5 sisters and their brother. The two eldest lived to be about 10 years old, which is sad, but the way things were at the time in the 19th Century. The other Brontë children lived to be about 30 years old (Charlotte being the only one to live up to 39 y.o.). My grandpa’s mother’s family had a lot of family members that died at a young age, some even just babies. This all was before and during World War I and when tuberculosis was a major cause of death.

Ahh Monday. Ok week, bring it on. Let’s see what this week has planned out for me, shall we? I’m just hoping to get a chance to do some more reading and some “Me Time.” So hopefully this week won’t be chaotic. *knocks on wood.
I’m still recovering from my favorite hockey teams loss last night. I am seriously tempted to go to the players and give them a Cher slapping with the “Snap out of it!” comment (thinking of Moonstruck here. Great movie). Seriously boys! So I don’t need more drama thanks to the intense games that the Anaheim Ducks have put me through. But I’m still cheering for you guys non the less. #GoDucks
