Just chilling with Mr Darcy.

Ok. I found this cute little book a couple of weeks ago. I was waiting to meet a friend in town and I had a bunch of time before she finished work so off I went to the bookstore. I have a funny relationship with reading. I find it really hard to find a book that really grabs my attention, but when I do I usually can't put the book down. I now know what books to look out for. I really enjoy Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks. So I went straight to the area where I would find Picoult's books and Sparks' books when I came across this one.
Me and Mr Darcy by Alexander Potter. Oh my goodness, I am so enjoying it. Anyone who knows me well knows that if I could pick out my perfect day it would be watching period dramas or Anne of Green Gables, Calamity Jane or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The thought of all these movies makes me smile.

Anyway, back to my little book. I read the blurb and smiled as I agreed with what I was reading.. "She'd rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were honourable and strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests." Eh...yes please! I then read the first page and knew that I this was the book that I would be reading if a wee coffee shop to pass time waiting for my friend.

I have never actually read Pride and Prejudice, but today I bought a copy of the book - a beautiful copy! I am looking forward to reading it after I finish this lovely book. I guess I am going to be chilling with Mr Darcy for a while, and I don't have a problem with that. So I am off to curl up with Me and Mr Darcy! You should definitely buy this book so you can do the same.

I found this image on google so you even know what book to look out for. Go on...you know you want to read it!!

To you I shall say, as I have often said before,
'Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last,'
