"Bridget Jones' Diary" is one of my fav movies and I always watch it at least once during the holiday season. Since Bridget and Mark met at a New Year party her parents hosted, I plan to watch the movie this weekend.
What did you do for New Year and what are your plans this weekend?

Did you have a good week? Mr. Lisa and I mostly worked from home, had a fabulous feast yesterday, and I started Heated Rivalry (iykyk). This weekend I'm working but Sunday is the day for write-ins and watching PBS with a bestie.
What are your plans this weekend?

So, when over the years, when I have said to someone, "You make me happy!" Several people have retorted, "Only you can make you happy." What do you think? Is happiness only from within oneself?
(Mucking around with the graphic; not a fan but eh, it will do.)

How many dissertations have been written about this? (Answer: Probably a lot.)

I think it's safe to say that Austen's work illuminates the Regency era while the Brontës rebelled the Victorian era. What do you think?

This little stack of books has pride of place in our bedroom, it's mostly made up of my deeply worn and re-read collection of Jane Austen Books and a couple of Brontes. Digitally hand painted in #Corel. No Ai programs.

I would argue Anne Brontë needs more love. She is so (typically) undervalued as an author.
