Morning, guys! Today I'm over at Melanie's Musings helping to wrap up her fabulous North & South Celebration. Melanie (aware of my strong feelings for the series) kindly invited me to contribute a post to her two-week-long love letter to all things North & South. So I'm talking about the study in contrasts that sucked me in and made me a permanent fangirl of the series. We'd love it if you stopped in to say hi and tell us why you love it, too.
I haven't wanted to talk about this. With anyone. But I think I probably need to. That like Georgina, I need to use my words to break the curse. I think that like Sam, I need to believe in my cure.

Maybe I need to watch the movie again today because the laundry can wait but Richard can not...."Look back at me!" sigh
ReplyDeleteLiz, nice job reading the book! Oh, the "Look back at me" scene. Something clamps down hard on my heart whenever I watch it.
ReplyDeleteSo...I added this on Netflix because since I loved and watched Downton Abbey, Netflix recommended this to me! I will go and read your post! I need to watch this show!
ReplyDeleteYup. Veeeeery good bet if you love Downton, you'll love this.
DeleteLove this series! I might have to re-watch it during the long wait for Downton Abbey season 3!
