Giveaway: Jane Eyre
I’m so excited because Focus Features is releasing a new movie version of Jane Eyre today! Here’s a little information about the film:

She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her – and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered…
