Know MoreLove is in the air. Unfortunately, so is PDA, overpriced roses, and those annoyingly cute couples who treat each other right. Yep, 14th Feb is creeping up, and we’re deep in love-week mode. Everywhere you look, people are planning surprise dates, writing dramatic confessions, buying gifts they saw on a reel at 2 a.m. And then… there’s us. Those who are okay being single but also wonder what it would be like to have someone. The ones who crave connection but refuse to buy into the idea that happiness only comes in a couple’s combo pack. If you’re part of this emotionally complex, self-aware, slightly dramatic club—welcome. You don’t need a Valentine to feel seen. This Valentine’s Day, light a candle, make your room feel like the main character’s study in an old novel, and spend the evening with the classics—the ones that understand longing, loneliness, hope, love, and all the in-between feelings better than a person.
Few novels have stirred as much fascination, confusion, and passionate debate as Wuthering Heights . Emily Brontë’s only novel, first published in 1847, remains one of English literature’s most haunting and unconventional love stories. At the heart of the novel lies Catherine Earnshaw’s famous declaration: ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.’ A line that captures the fierce, almost supernatural bond she shares with Heathcliff. With a new film adaptation reportedly bringing Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi into the stormy world of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, many new readers are preparing to step onto the wild Yorkshire moors for the first time. If you are one of them, consider this your guide to navigating a novel that is as turbulent as the winds that howl across its pages. Also read: Intimidated by James Joyce?

Some authors give us great stories. Others give us characters who quietly move into our heads, set up furniture, and live in there rent-free. Charles Dickens absolutely belongs to the second group. His plots were rich, dramatic, but it’s his characters who linger years after the last page. With their wonderfully eccentric names and even more unforgettable personalities, they don’t just exist in the story—they take over. Dickens didn’t simply describe people; he let them speak, stumble, scheme, hope, complain, and love their way into our hearts. They feel less like fictional creations and more like old acquaintances we’ve known forever. And since he’s our Author of the Month, what better excuse to wander down memory lane and revisit some of the unforgettable personalities who made Dickens’ world (and ours) so lively?
