Mod

Mod
thank you! - we had a nice day just the two of us.
Where is your favorite place to read a book?Mine is sitting on the patio, the rain beating down on the room, an nice cool breeze, a cuppa tea.
Sounds nice, Mike!I like to read out by the pool deck when it's warm & on my bed or couch when it's too cool/cold to enjoy the outdoors.
One time, I was on the 2nd floor of my library sitting on a couch under a skylight next to a huge window, reading during a thunderstorm... That was NICE! :)

I should be living in Seattle! I love the rain, but they can keep the hurricanes. When south Florida is nice, it is real nice. When it isn't, well that is why we have shutters.

either on the porch (depending on the weather) or in my sisters room; either sitting in the comfy chair or walking in circles. drinking tea. ;)

I love rain as well. I think its a reader thing ;)
Mod
Rain! Yes! I agree!
MY favourite place... In winter snuggled up on my bed, in summer lying on the grass or sitting in our swing chair we have outside :) I can't wait for summer to be able to read in those places again! :D

haha yes. large circles; not tight! I'd get dizzy too. lol but yea, I guess the constant rhythmic motion helps me focus and also helps my back and neck not to cramp. :)

I like to read while walking up and down the stairs - it doubles as a workout as well as helping me focus and keeping from getting stiff. :)

Mine is outside in the sun for a bit then move to the shade if necessary then back out to the sun... lol you get the idea. If it's too windy or cold outside then my next favorite place is in my papasan chair in our home library.

i tried that once i got dizzy :P

Remember what I told you about her walking & reading/replying to a text..? ;P
Hey - random question...I read Kindle books on my iPad (with the cloud reader app), and I'm not sure how to delete books from my app's library while still keeping them in my Amazon library so I can read them at another time if I want to. Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I can do it on my kindle, but I'm not sure how it would work with an iPad. On my kindle I go to the book's menu (I guess that's what you'd call it...) and tell it to "Remove from Device". It takes it off my kindle home page, but it's still on my amazon account.

Oh. My. Word. :O why have I only just seen this!? It was all very serious but that is the subject it is on. It was so good! How all the stories resolved - fav was Biggs and Thornton (when Thornton helps the boy read!) their relationship was amazing! I
Mr John Thornton.... *sigh* he was such a textured character! He was so sad and has suffered greatly and I really felt for him, from the beginning actually. He was really wonderful and does have good morals.
The ending was the best bit! When he goes to get a flower and then the station.... <3 sigh* so sweet and perfect!
I must read the book! :D
Mod
Isn't it Higgins..?Anyway, I'm glad you finally got to watch it. So, how does it rate compared to P&P? It's a VERY close 2nd for me. ;)
And the guy who plays Nicholas Higgins (Brendan Coyle) is in "Downton Abbey" too! Have you seen it?
Mod
I really did love it! It doesn't beat P&P because I like the humour and wit and N&S was a lot more serious. But, it is very high up!! I want to read the book before I decide completely where ... But high up!
Yes he is Bates in Downton :) I sort of watch Downton. Can't believe what has just happened though!

I'm so glad you liked it! :D I totally agree...I love the parts with Higgins and Thornton. I really felt bad for Mr. Thornton almost the whole way through, too. ;)
Mod
I love seeing them (Thorton & Margaret) change through the series. Some of my favorite scenes are the ones later on between Thornton & Higgins -- esp when Higgins tells Thornton about Margaret's brother! Love it!! ;) And that last scene..? *sigh* So sweet!"You don't need Henry." You're darn right she doesn't! :P
Mod
The later scenes are the best ones yes :) when she says about the brother yes! The realisation which spreads across his face!
Yes! She does not need annoying Henry!

IM SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT!!!! =D I agree, I liked Thornton the whole time better than Margaret. ;) YES! IT WAS HER BROTHER!!! xD I love that line about Henry! ;P You dont need henry to explain! duh! not with mr mill owner around! :P
Mod
Mod
I liked him from the off, as he always had the right morals and I think it was mainly Margaret to change. Though Thornton did change in his attitudes towards works (Higgins and Thornton)
I look forward to Wives and Daughters!
O.o I love 'Wives and Daughters' and 'North and South'
