I'm a big fan of Jane Austen and her novels. The last couple of evenings I have been watching a mini-series called Lost in Austen. This movie is a take-off from Austen's Pride and Prejudice, where the main character, Amanda Price, is in love with Austen's book and wants to find love with a man like Darcy (main male character of Pride and Prejudice for those of you who don't know).
Anyway, somehow she stumbles back in time (by going through a door in her bathroom) into the world of Darcy, the Bennett family and the Bingley's. Her arrival causes all sorts of chaos, such as, Jane Bennett marrying Mr Collins instead of Bingley, Lydia Bennett runs off with Bingley instead of Wickham, Darcy falls in love with Amanda instead of Elizabeth Bennett etc etc.
It was quite a funny movie...
Oh, I have finished An Echo of Bone by Diana Gabaldon and loved it! I can't wait until the next novel, as Roger has gone back in time to search for his young son, who has infact been kidnapped and hidden in modern day time still...oh dear!
Am off to the library tomorrow morning to stock up on some holiday reading...except the other day I discoverred two library books sitting under the bed which were at least 2 months overdue. Oops. So I guess I will be forking up some money before I am allowed to have any books issued to me.

Utter Disappointment!
Bridget and I went to New Moon last week and Ihave to say...we both were a bit disappointed. The movie was long...and the casting agency should be sacked...they did not do a good job in picking Robert Pattinson to be Edward Cullen! The book was so much better. Nonetheless...I will probably go and see the next movie in the Twilight series...just to be curious...
