    There is conflicting information concerning today’s feature.  I’ll post it here anyway because I love this book!  On this date in 1847 (or maybe it was October 6), Jane Eyre was first published.  It is one of my favorite classics of all time.  If you’ve never read it, I highly recommend it!

    Tour Schedule The Glister Journals: Bronze Allison Anderson knows she’s a little different, but it hadn’t bothered her too much-until now. Moving away from everything she’s ever known to a new house, new neighborhood, and new school is bad enough, but it’s her first year of high school too, making it even more intimidating. She’s more aware of her social […]
