There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

Welcome to a week of celebrating one of the best novels ever written in the English language. Jane Eyre is a romance, a gothic novel, a mystery and (most importantly) the chronicle of one woman's journey through life.

A few announcements:

• Please vote in the poll on my sidebar.The results will be announced at the end of the week.

• I have put a linky in the sidebar so you can share your own Jane Eyre inspired posts! It is just under the poll.
   

• Giveaway!

You could win this painting of Jane Eyre.

This is an 8x11" acrylic on a board (thin) canvas. Jane is wearing a blue dress with black buttons and a white lacy collar, on a light blue background. Jane's hair is a reddish tint.

I'm only allowing one entry each. Note that this post is for the giveaway only. Please don't leave your links for the event here. There is a linky on the sidebar for that.

The winner will be chosen and announced after 12:00pm (central) on Saturday, when the event officially ends. I am ending the event at noon so that I can wrap everything up on Saturday evening after it's over.

Enter to win and stay tuned for a Jane Eyre themed post this afternoon!
