So cute :). But, no, until this P&P Marvel thing, I never really read a comic book, at least not beyond glancing at a page or two.

BUT I am willing to watch it again and approach with your thoughts of the energy. <br /><br />Love your bag!!! <br /><br />So you never read comics before. For me comics were the first romance books I ever read.<br /><br />Millie the Model was my favorite!!!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millie_the_ModelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-69676507388246552882009-09-02T11:46:10.303-05:002009-09-02T11:46:10.303-05:00Carrie~You're so right!

Viewers finally get an insight into how much pressure it must've been for a young man to oversee an estate like Pemberley while, at the same time, trying to deal with family, friends, love interests... :) Sigh!<br /><br />Stephanie~thank you for tweeting (and, again, for your wonderful Everything Austen Challenge idea!). You will LOVE these comics.<br /><br />Robin~thank you. It *was* funny being the one in the car pointing and saying, "Oh! Oh! There's comic book store! Do we have time to stop?" I suspect my son will enjoy the never-ending delight of getting to tease me about that... Hope you have a great week, too.<br />p.s. I've still got "September" in my head from your post ;).<br /><br />Mary~HI!! Oh, there were a couple memorable moments of indulgent relaxation in an otherwise action-packed month (summer...year...). It was nice to have that, although I suspect the next wave of ultra-busy-ness is about to hit!<br /><br />Pamala~I definitely thought of YOU when I saw that bag and all the Darcy stuff!!! They have many cute things on the site. The green tote was part of their "JA Centre Exclusive Items"--things only available through them--but I did see several giftshop offerings that I'd come across on Amazon.com and elsewhere :).<br /><br />Pamela~Oooh! I'll jump up and down with you! (*pausing, out of breath already*) Must get back to exercising more regularly...LOL!Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-51790440965579019052009-09-02T11:23:08.502-05:002009-09-02T11:23:08.502-05:00I'm just agreeing with everybody--loved the Ki...I'm just agreeing with everybody--loved the Kiera/Matthew version, adore your bag and am jumping up and down in excitement for the end of the month!Pamela Caynehttp://pamwritesromance.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-75240130308157888782009-09-02T11:07:24.841-05:002009-09-02T11:07:24.841-05:00First things first and that bag is GORGEOUS!!!

Might just be making a little internet shopping trip to England myself...<br /><br />Next, I totally agree with your assessments of the film and comics. I echo Carrie's feelings about the 2005 PnP production. It was nice to actually see a Darcy who was 28 and showed the strain of having so much responsibility from such an early age. And Keira made me a fan with that performance.<br /><br />I'll toddle over to the other site to read and comment as well.<br /><br />*waves*Pamala Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823051545160002135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-65772031867064279612009-09-02T09:49:18.608-05:002009-09-02T09:49:18.608-05:00I too loved the Keira/Matthew version.

And hey, you might not be seeking out the same comics as your guys, but the time spent together "looking" was priceless I'm sure. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Robinhttp://www.robinbielman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-80868994971050804332009-09-02T08:04:44.677-05:002009-09-02T08:04:44.677-05:00I tweeted about your giveaway and the marvel comic...I tweeted about your giveaway and the marvel comics for P&P (I must get my hands on a copy of those)!Stephaniehttp://thewrittenword.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-84353099515642642092009-09-02T07:31:18.075-05:002009-09-02T07:31:18.075-05:00I also loved that about the Keira version.

I had my doubts, and I didn't really care for it the first time I saw it--I mean, who can compete with Firth/Ehle??--but the youthfulness played out more like how I imagine a gaggle of teen sisters would behave. There wasn't as much intellectual or maturity distance between Lizzy and her sisters, which makes her behavior more understandable--she's just a kid, really! And Matthew's Darcy gives the impression of a young man who's been saddled with an extreme amount of responsibility at a young age, and how he's trying really hard to look like he fits in with the grown-ups. The dirt and the less posh costumes make the contrast between their stations more obvious as well, whereas the BBC made even poor gentry look pretty damn posh :)<br /><br />It's getting so close, Marilyn! I'm so excited for you!Carrie Loftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589746700484524652noreply@blogger.com
