A Farewell To Alex

It was with great shock that all us sisters recently learned of the imminent departure of Sister Alex. He has decided to return to the moors of Old Angleterre to take up his quill where he left off (much to our chagrin).

Alex has been a fabulous and rather tall member of The Brontë Sisters' Bookclub and we are going to have a bitch of a time replacing him! Thanks Alex for all the fun times, the highs and lows, the laughs, the tears...We will miss you, you old smugs, but keep in touch (via this blog, par exemple).

Always remember, never forget: you are a Brontë!

Your sistaz XX
