[Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~*]

I only saw part of season 1 of Robin Hood. He plays the bad guy Guy of Gisborne who is madly in love with Marian. I don't like his longer hair but he is still sexy as. *sighs*

*THUD*

His scowls work so well in this series, too. ^_^ He has the sexiest scowls. LOL

I preferred him to Robin Hood! Though the guy who played Robin grew on me, Richard Armitage just eclipsed him.

We were talking about Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly. The S & S BBC version and North and South.

[Alycia]

Love the N & S pic, Lady Jayne!

I LOVE Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly. Mr. Darcy is a dream!

Assuming everyone has read The Scarlet Letter, and since we are onto movies. Has anyone seen the movie with Demi Moore? Very good, I saw it a few years ago.

[Cheryl]

Jayne-- thank you! I needed those pics! My heart is all fluttering! That first picture is when you could hear my audible gasp when we saw him without a cravat on! And the second picture-- that kiss! There are no words to describe it!

I love a man in leathers. *sigh* I'd love to take his leathers off of him. *gasp* Did I say that out loud?

David Morrissey played Colonel Brandon in the Masterpiece Theater/BBC Sense and Sensibility.
Richard Armitage played in North and Sout.

Yes, he had some deliciously intense scowls. Let me tell you, I wouldn't have said no if he asked me to marry him!

--Robin didn't exist on that show. All I saw was Guy. I thought Marian was daft. I would have reformed that bad boy!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Heidi, I saw The Scarlet Letter. I love that book, so I wasn't too happy with some of the changes in the movie, but I thought Gary Oldman was a very good Arthur Chillingsworth.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I finished Tongue In Chic by Christina Dodd. I recommend it if you're looking for a light, but not too light, great contemporary romance.

[Anne]

I just finished Sugar Daddy. Whoa! That was waaay different than anything I've read before by Kleypas. I'm not complaining, it was a good book. I was just surprised at how little 'romance' was actually in the story. I loved Liberty! She was so awesome with her little sister. I wanted to strangle her mother, though!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Anne, I know what you mean. Same here!

[Cheryl]

I finished Sins of a Duke and it was fabulous! I definitely think it is a book that would be enjoyed more if you read the others in the series before it, but they are enjoyable too so it shouldn't be too much of a hardship!

I'm still reading Emma by Jane Austen. I have to have it finished by the 19th for my book club meeting.

I am thinking about starting Where Dreams Begin by Lisa Kleypas next!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I just finished Love is Blind by Lyndsay Sands. I loved this book. It definitely is not thought provoking or deep but a fun read. Totally different from the types of books I have been reading that feature a lot of conflicts and angst. LS books remind me somewhat of Julia Quinn as far as the humor goes. This was a great light read.

[Alycia]

I know we were talking about movies a few days ago... I watched "North & South" again. You all were right, the kissing scene was amazing! Such sweet, tender, loving kisses.

[Anne]

I just started Midnight Pleasures, by Eloisa James, this morning. It's already grabbed me and I'm only on page seven! I've got a good feeling about this one, ladies!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Ladies, you're making me want to pull out that DVD and watch the end of North and South. :)

[[deleted user]]

Ok, I started reading Jennifer Ashley's THE MADNESS OF LORD IAN MACKENZIE. I m loving it so far! Rachael if ya read this grab it...very descriptive and Danielle, he a dangerous, tortured soul who needs lovin!

Hey how do I my titles link to the book...like Anne's Midnight Pleasures above??

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I just finished this book last week. I really loved Ian. Didn't he act like he had Autism? It will be interesting how the other books about the brothers are. What a messed up family.

I loved The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie - I had such a hard time writing the review for that one because I wanted to go into too much detail... I just adore Ian!

Danielle, I forgot so much of that movie. I think I like it even more the second time around.

I have the madness of lord Ian mckenzie too.. Maybe I should think about reading it sooner.

[Cheryl]

Cynthia that is exactly what I was thinking last night! He does act like he has some sort or autism. Or like an true OCD....so far I am fascinated by him.

Ooh, you are calling my name, Heidi!

[[deleted user]]

Oh yeah, Danielle, you need this one and you will LOVE Ian!

[Stamatia]

Definitely read "The madness of lord Ian Mackenzie" Danielle, I think you're going to love it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks, Ladies. I have plans to read it soon. :)

Cynthia...its asberger's that I was thinking he has....a form of autism.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I don't recall anywhere in the book where they actually call it anything but 'madness.' I beleive it was reviewers who identified the illness as autism/asbergers.

[[deleted user]]

No, it hasn't come out and actually stated he has anything other than a "madness" but when I was reading last night I thought of asberger's or autism spectum disorder.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Yeah, I agree, Heidi. That's how it struck me as well.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

OK, here's the teacher in me.
Asbergers is when people make sounds or twitches that they can't control. Autism is when people don't like to be touched, looked at and they can't look people in the eye. Many times they won't speak and can become violent when things happen out of the normal routine. Often they are brilliant especially with numbers or math. They understand concrete thought processes but cannot deal with those things outside that realm.
It doesn't say anywhere in the book what is the matter with him but of course back then they wouldn't know other than calling it madness.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Thank you, Cynthia! As we've been saying, they didn't have a name for it other than madness, and I had read reviewers state that today we "know" it to be asbergers, however having had a young man with autism in one of my homeschooling classes, when I read Ian's story, it reminded me of that boy, Gabriel. He was absolutely brilliant! An amazing young man who really was a blessing to know.

Anyway, with the reviewers who swear it was asbergers, I wondered if the author had made a comment somewhere regarding the 'madness.'

by Kresley Cole

I started this a little while ago.
I was a little hesitant to read this, because i absolutely hated the last book in the series. But, so far so good.

[[deleted user]]

has just finished "addicted" BRILLIANT.. SUPERB. AWSOME...just starting

[Cheryl]

Just started The Raven Prince and I think I'm going to enjoy it!

Finally finished Emma and am about to start Northanger Abbey.

[[deleted user]]

YOU WILL LOVE The Raven Prince...ALL of EH's books are wonderfully yummy! Let me know what you think of it Cheryl, hers books are keepers to me!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

The Raven Prince is in my top 5 books of all time. I just love him. I don't think there is a book of EH that isn't a keeper.
I'm sure you will fall in love with TRP.
Enjoy

[Cheryl]

Yay! Thanks and I will definitely let you know what I think of it! :)

I must get me this one

[Anne]

Loved Midnight Pleasures! I've just started Enchanting Pleasures, which is the next book in that series. I skipped the first book entirely on the recommendation of a friend.

[Cheryl]

I went to Borders over the weekend to pick up the next Jane Austen book I will be reading, while I was there I stumbled upon a book that has been recommended to me numerous times by certain friends on here, Danielle and Dhestiny, I finally own a copy of Lord of Scoundrels!!!! I have wanted to read this book for a very long time but could never find it! My library never had it, nor the libraries that share with mine and the used book store that I go to never had it either. So, I look forward to getting to it shortly!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Cheryl, I hope you enjoy LOS. My favorite book, hands down.

Anne, I read one of those, I can't remember which one. LOL.
