69 - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Follow us into the misty moors as we discuss whether or not this really is a love story, how much we're enjoying the gothic drama, and if Bertha really was crazy. We also talk about what the teenage versions of ourselves might have thought of this book and how much we need to read more from all the Bronte sisters. Episode Drink: From Tequila Mockingbird by Tim Federle    Gin Eyre   8 sprigs of fresh mint, washed 2 oz English gin 1 oz lemon juice 1 ½ tsp granulated sugar 2 dashes orange bitters   Tear the mint leaves and put into a shaker. Put other ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass.   "Now nurse that drink like a good nanny" Take a drink: Whenever someone says something mean to Jane Whenever Mr. Rochester is an asshole Whenever you eyeroll at the outdated expectations Whenever the a ghost haunts a house or a room Take two drinks whenever someone proposes marriage to Jane Roll your eyes when men just keep vocalizing their stupid expectations of Jane when it's none of their fucking business Take a  drink when you really give a second, third, and fourth thought to how crazy was Bertha and was she really crazy? Finish your drink when you realize maybe this wasn't a love story after all.  COVID Comforts Emily - Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner Jordan - Frenchman's Creek by Daphne Du Maurier   A Novel Adaptation was created by Emily Eppley and Jordan Redwine.
