  1. What is there to read?
    Piles of books are everywhere
    Can't chose the next one

    Haiku #13 (inspired by Dawn @ She Is Too Fond of Books)

  2. Kim

    Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy? Why am I not surprised. Harry Potter — of course. Just finished my first book — I guess I'm slow, but I'm having fun doing nothing but.

  3. Looks like you are making great headway
    Keep up the reading, don’t let that head sway
    Eyes on the page and coffee in hand
    You’ll be entering a new land.

    GO READER!

  4. Beth F.– That's a beautiful Haiku

    Kim– Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett, quite the shocker I know.

    Book Mole–P&P and HP are the best

    Serena–Thank you!

  5. Nice choices! I'm a big Pride & Prejudice fan, too. One of my favorite courses in college (English major) was a Jane Austen course!

  6. Chris and Jess–It's hard for me stray from P&P; it's similar to the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

    Kailana–I love Mammy she's a great second character. "you sittin' there waitin' for him, just like a spider." awesomeness!

    Carolsnotebook & Tammy– Thank you!

    ham1299–Love P&P (obviously) an Austen course would be so cool.

  7. Wow! You really love P&P don't you! 🙂 Mammy is my favourite side kick too! I love it when writers are able to flesh out characters like hers 🙂

  8. There's no denying it, I am a Jane Austen P&P addict! I love Mammy, she's such a well developed memorable character. Especially, as she seems to be the only one who can keep Scarlett in line.
