Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments Not a contest! Go at your own pace. I have taken two days off trying to catch up on blogs e-mailed to me which I ignored as I had my nose in a book.

Ah, Lenora! As probably everyone knows by now, that's one of my favorites. Does my heart good when someone else expresses their appreciation for it!

What live action movie?


message 380: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments Beauty and The Beast I'd say. My daughter saw it the weekend and said it was fantastic. I was suppose to go but unfortunately I've had tonsillitis and a sinus infection all week.


message 381: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (dmbrown) | 734 comments Yes, I saw that last week. Wonderful rendition. It's amazing what they can do with computer graphics now-- VERY realistic. The whole gay thing is present, but no more so than a whole bunch of other nasty sins that the right wingers don't seem to care about. Much ado about nothing, if you ask me. It's a glorious movie. Go see it!


message 382: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (dmbrown) | 734 comments Sorry about the tonsillitis, Teresa. Feel better soon!!


message 383: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments Thanks Debbie. I've been a martyr to them these many years (as Mrs Bennett would say)!!


message 384: by Mary (new)

Mary | 709 comments Teresa-hope you're feeling better soon. I'm as hoarse as a crow at the moment!!


message 385: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments Thanks Mary. Every second person I meet at the moment is sick!!! Our weather is so unpredictable at the moment isn''t it? Even for March.


message 386: by Mary (new)

Mary | 709 comments You never said a truer word!! And,to make matters worse,I'm in the middle of a reader's block......!!!


message 387: by Sheila (new)

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments Reader's block??? I know of writer's block but what does that mean? You can't concentrate to read or you can't find a good book??? Or no time to read or you're distracted?


message 388: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 313 comments ALL of them Sheila!! I feel for you Mary. I'm just about recovering from one. I've been so frustrated. Picking up books, putting them down, reading a page and then realising I haven't a clue about what I just read. So I decided to go back to ones I love and start to read light stuff. Starting to enjoy it again. Being unwell doesn't help.


message 389: by Sheila (new)

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments I don't even try to read when I am ill. I sleep a lot and watch TV b/c that takes no effort! Sorry to hear you are ill (you and so many others). I had my share this winter with bronchitis. So I can sympathize with all.


message 390: by Mary (new)

Mary | 709 comments Sheila-reader's block is just like how you and Teresa explained it. No book holds my interest, I'm finding it hard to concentrate on any book in any genre. Though I was in the bookshop and leafed through some books today in town,I didn't but any 'cos I just can't get into them.
It's unheard of fir me not to be reading a book,but at the moment,that's just the way it is.


message 391: by J. W. (new)

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments Sorry your're sick Mary; hope you get better my friend. I thought I hadn't seen your news feed in a while. We've missed you and understand with you not feeling well. Get lots of rest, drink fluids, and get better soon.

Lenora Robinson | 174 comments 45 The Rosings Bride: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
46 Waking Up At Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
47 Letters from Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Same proplem with each of these books. Disliked the ending of each. This is a series and they each ending felt like it was in the middle of conversation. It would make an excellent book but loses something being divided. And it has at least one more book that i will need to read to get th ending

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments I just finished reading ECHOES OF A LAUGH https://forum.darcyandlizzy.com/index... by Lizzybel which was published as Her Unforgettable Laugh: A Pride and Prejudice Variation in a three book series.
