My Poll

Looks like the BBC mini-series 1995 wins the poll by a whopping 72%. Since I have that one, several of them in fact (one for NC and one for Florida) it will not be a problem to provide the girls with it.

Of course, this one is my favorite one as well. Although I long for mini-series from Darcy's perspective. I want to see more of him than of Elizabeth. Mary Street did a beautiful book, which like an idiot I lent to my daughter-in-law who does not like P&P and never got it back. Mary, a wonderful writer, did a perfect job IMHO with Darcy's character. However, she was not creative or inventive enough for the London phase and that is one area everyone seems to fail to a certain degree. I am sure my story will suffer the same fate. Pamela Aiden's whole second book was not at all satisfactory to me, in fact I recommended 3/4 of the book be skipped to my friend when I lent her the book because I know what she would have thought of the whole storyline. I was right, she read it and hated that part. But we both agree the rest was great.

So time for me think up another poll. Any suggestions? Perhaps not for a while.

Now on to preparing a mailing list and making copies of the annual package to go out. Must be done by Monday. So I am off and away to spend my day on boring stuff when I would rather be polishing chapter 31. Down to the word choices on that one.
