After you bake the pie , you need to send me the recipe !!

Nope , nothing for me ;'( . I just have a pasta class to attend today.

Haha ! I'm still at ending of chap 6 , after so many late nights , I fell asleep after that and slept for 10 hrs staraight . But while you all sleep I shall make up !

[Cathy M.]

Morning Karen, I'm right behind Nicole at 28% (in Chpt 15) but am about to grab some dinner.

Baking pies sounds so good!! I haven't had a freshly baked pie in years!! And pasta class? That sounds fun...I really need to learn to cook.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love to cook and am doing a lot of classes right now :D:D.

*discreetly coughs* but I can't make everyday food only special dishes...

[Duchess Nicole]

I like cooking, but I get tired of it. I feel like I'm always in the kitchen with a family of five...either cooking or cleaning up afterward. But I do enjoy special days like birthdays and holidays. I use a website called allrecipes.com to find new things to cook. Lots of good stuff!

[Duchess Nicole]

32%
(view spoiler)["I have no thought or expectation of ever asking her to be my wife, you'll believe me for the future that I'm quite disinterested in speaking about her." (hide spoiler)]
That was Thornton. What a liar!!!! Lol

[[deleted user]]

I use tarladalal.com , if you ever want to make any indian dishes , that's the place to go !

I have tried allrecipes but so many of the ingredients are so difficult to get here or very very expensive!

[[deleted user]]

By the way by "look back at me " do you mean he thinks if she looks back at him she loves him??????

Omg that's like every single hindi serial lol!!!!!!!!

That's what it seems like to me. But this is my 1st time reading this and haven't seen the series yet so it's just a guess. But it seems like one of those heart-stopping moments. Cannot wait!!

Need to look up that website for the Indian recipes. Thanks Karen!

Nicole, I am in awe of you. Keeping up with a family of 5 is commendable. Seriously!

[[deleted user]]

And if you have any problems with any of the ingredients , ask me for sure ;)

Thank you!

[Duchess Nicole]

Ooooohhhhh, Blacky!!! Just got to 36%(view spoiler)[ The handshake, and holy hell, he sure checks her out when they arrive for dinner at the Thorntons! Looking at her neck, arms, hair...he sure does admire her a lot for protesting so much indifference! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

BTW Nicole ! Its downloaded yay!

[Duchess Nicole]

Oh,so cool! I'm so excited. How long is it, Karen? Can you tell how many episodes?

[Cathy M.]

Are you guys planning on watching it in bits (after those scenes in the book)? On Netflix it was 4 episodes.

[Duchess Nicole]

Cathy wrote: "Are you guys planning on watching it in bits (after those scenes in the book)? On Netflix it was 4 episodes."

I think so, Cathy. I don't know at what point in our reading we can watch the first episode though.

[Cathy M.]

Tea said the 1st one ends around Chpt 15-16

[[deleted user]]

I know it is 4 episodes , I think 53 mins per epi .

Let us first read then watch !

[Cathy M.]

Oh, the episodes are pretty short! I thought it was going to be like the Sherlock Holmes ones - about 90 minutes each.

BTW how far are you Karen?

[Duchess Nicole]

I'm up for whatever you all want to do. Just let me know when you plan on watching.

[Cathy M.]

probably won't be until the weekend for me.

[[deleted user]]

in class now !

[Cathy M.]

Have fun in class Karen!

I'm going to try to read another chapter or 2 and then head off to bed. I'm at 28%.

[❀Tea❀]

In that case have nice dreams Cathy.

Karen, if you need someone to test what you cooked, let me know :)

If I remember correctly, that 'look at me' thing is series only (something like Mr. Darcy and pond).

I won't be able to read much today, or if I do I won't be able to comment here. So today you're spoiler free from me :D

[Cathy M.]

Morning Tea and thank you! It will give me a chance to catch up since you and Nicole are busy. And I don't mind the spoilers, esp since I'll get there soon enough. Have fun today!

Definitely come along and taste . Morning Tea :)


Yes!! So I will make up :D:D

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

UGH I'll comment later, won't be home all day and won't be able to read :((((

but my suggestion is that you separate the series from the book because some scenes are different and some are missing, and it'll probably be messed up in your head both the series and the book :(((((

Ok I'm off, happy reading and happy Valentine's Day :)

[❀Tea❀]

Just dropping in to say hi. I'm using IPad in library (which I don't know how to use) on my break.
I managed to read 5 pages so far :( Off to try and read few more.
See ya in the evening when I get home.

Happy Valentine's day :D

[Duchess Nicole]

Well, guys...hmmm...at 44%...

(view spoiler)[I'm really frustrated with Margaret right now. Not only does she reject him (which is cool...it's all kind of sudden) but she's so condescending about it. Up til now, it's all seemed a bit of a miscommunication but she literally just threw his feelings back in his face. He's being very open and honest with her. True, he's a little overcome with emotion, but she's flat out rude! I don't get why she's acting the way that she is. At some point, I stopped thinking that it's the circumstances and chance things happening (like the bow instead of the handshake) and started thinking that she's really just prideful and condescending, and doesn't try to hide it at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

Nicole I think it's because

(view spoiler)[she's basically angry and her pride is hurt when she heard the sister and maid talking about how Thornton has no other option but to propose. Right when he was leaving she saw how much she hurt him but it was too damn late :( but this will be a turnabout with her and Thornton, just read on, you'll see :))) (hide spoiler)]

[Amaryllis]

Hey guys,
I can't seem to manage to follow the line of conversation, ARGH! I wish I had more time to stalk each and every one of your answers :p but school is keeping me too busy these days.

Anyway, I was just dropping by to wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day :D.
Also, to the ladies who are planning on watching the miniseries soon, here's a little foretaste:



Happy reading and watching :)

[Duchess Nicole]

Blacky (view spoiler)[ Okay, I forgot about that. Still, she's just so uncaring about his feelings, basically every time they meet. There was a moment there, right before she went down, that she was flustered to know that he had come to see her, so I know that she's feeling SOMETHING for him. I guess maybe she's just confused. And you're right, directly after his big reveal, she realized how much she hurt him, and realizes in comparison to what's-his-face's proposal, Thorntons was more heartfelt and true. (hide spoiler)] I feel better.

Anyw..."

Muah, Amaryllis! What a great clip!

And yeah, our conversations tend to be awfully flighty. Just skip over the nonsense and read the last few every time you log on, lol! Or just ignore us and post your updates...we'll chat with you!!! How far are you?

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

Nicole,, here's a bit of a spoiler for you, maybe two-or three chapters ahead, so read only if you want to, but I'll explain about Margaret and Thornton :D

(view spoiler)[Margaret is a weird one, but from where I'm at in the story, it seems to me she DOES have some feelings for Thornton, she just doesn't know it yet. ever since she refused him, she can't stop thinking about him, and something happens to make him think less of her and she cries all the time because she can't stand the fact that Thornton might think ill of her, and he has a right to. So yeah from this point on you'll see her thinking about T more and more :DDD (hide spoiler)]

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

Amaryllis Hey! Thanks for the pic, love that one!!!!!!!

Where are you at in the book?

[[deleted user]]

Had a great time at the class ! And ended up going to a marriage !! There are so many people getting married today ! Phew ! Not because of V day , but because today and tomorrow are very auspicious days according to the hindu calendar ! And marriages happening today are blessed :D:D

[[deleted user]]

I'm never going to catch up with you guys , having v busy days ,so I have decided to take it slow only and will put up the updates as I go .....

*sad face*

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

Karen I'm not reading today at all :( but I am at about 64% :SSSSS will continue reading tomorrow :)

[Amaryllis]

Nicole & Blacky,

Hahaha! I'm ashamed to admit that I'm still very far behind (chapter 11 I think). Last evening, I kept comparing in my head, what I just read to what I remembered from the TV show, so I kind of... ended up in front of my TV watching the first episode :p
I know, I know!! Shame on me! I'll go back to reading as soon as I can.
Like Karen, I have to take it slow :(

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

LOl it's Ok we'll all be here to comment with you as you go on in the book :D yeah it's pretty different, some scenes are completely out, some are just different and all :D

[Amaryllis]

Okay! :DDDD

[Blacky *Romance Addict*]

64% Margaret thinking about Thornton:

(view spoiler)["How was it that he haunted her imagination so persistently? What could it be? Why did she care for what he thought, in spite of all her pride in spite of herself?...
But Mr. Thornton-why did she tremble, and hide her face in the pillow? What strong feeling had overtaken her at last?" (hide spoiler)]

Finally woman, FINALLY!!!!!!

*sad face*"

Yep, I'm reading very slowly today, also. No worries, Karen...we're all up for chatting even if we're done. This is definitely a slow reading book, even for me, and I speak nothing BUT English!
