Tom Hanks, of course. Why didn't I see this before?

I have often used 'You've Got Mail' as a way to describe what Jane Austen Fan Fiction is. <br /><br />As I told you recently, OMDWD is the only book in the last year that has kept me up ALL night. And I actually had read the original version..LOL. I love your stories and am grateful for you sharing with us here!<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Tiller Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237523278334072442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-86774813442684506732012-06-04T07:08:15.822-04:002012-06-04T07:08:15.822-04:00I guess I mention this stuff here; I'm friende...I guess I mention this stuff here; I'm friended you on Facebook, I liked Barbara Tiller Cole, Author's Facebook page, and I joined the Darcyholic Diversions Facebook Page.

I had loaned it to a friend last August and finally got it returned a few weeks ago, so have been working my way through it a little at a time. So enjoy it!

How neat that was of your husband to get the car tag and I love that he tells he is your Mr. Darcy! Sounds like he might just don the breeches and boots!<br /><br />I have read four of your books and loved all of them. I can't seem to decide between 'Darcy's Voyage' and 'Only Mr. Darcy Will Do' as my favorite. They both are fantastic and have things that I really like about them. In OMDWD I loved it when Lizzy and Darcy were playing chess. The word play was lovely and made me smile continually. <br /><br />I too loved the miniseries with Colin Firth and he will forever be my Mr. Darcy. He is who I see when I read all the variations. I watched the movie again just last week and enjoyed it as much as ever.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your story and for your wonderful books! I hope you have another one in the future!Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-90510578452454261682012-06-02T21:43:39.136-04:002012-06-02T21:43:39.136-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-66517044775097220192012-06-02T21:40:09.349-04:002012-06-02T21:40:09.349-04:00Araminta, I'm glad you enjoy my books!

I did want to let you know that "Only Mr. Darcy Will Do" is the Sourcebooks publication of "Something Like Regret," which was self-published, in case you already read that. I know that people aren't very happy when the publisher changes the title and they think it's a new one when it's one they already read.Kara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596462823122717845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-80627669692361166562012-06-02T20:31:26.371-04:002012-06-02T20:31:26.371-04:00Kara, I was so sad I missed you the last time you ...Kara, I was so sad I missed you the last time you were here!

Then someone told me it was actually a comedy (or satire) and not a romance. I had to read it again - this second time I got it and then loved it. I remember when P&P 1995 first appeared and we had to wait DAYS for the next episode. Such torment. Also - I don't care what the press says. It is NOT the wet shirt scene that turned Colin Firth into a hearthrob. It is the lovely scene after when he asks Elizabeth if he can introduce her to his sister. I could watch that man walk over and over and over. Especially in breeches and boots! Also - have read all your fanfic Kara.
