Melindam’s Comments (group member since Mar 07, 2017)

Melindam’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

I may or may not have watched that particular scene on youtube.... 😅

Scratch my earlier comment, just remembered the Cowan-Darcy scene honouring Colin F's wet shirt.

Also Elliot Cowan for me. 😆

How the hell did I miss the other ones? Any worth watching?

Also, how does one choose between Mr. Rhys and whoever ..."

Yes to B & P and Death comes to Pemberley.

Elliot Cowan was Darcy in the Mini series Lost in Austen, which may be your cuppa, Jenny. (?) 😉

And Daniel V G was from the web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, also worth watching (imo, anyways).

I'm going for Martin Henderson, NOT because of any (lacking) Darcy-vibes, but because I find him the most handsome. 🙃

I do have a really strong urge to watch the 1995 P&P again now... 😆"

Same .... and then also watch the 1980s one.

Jenny wrote: "Hard to see Colin Firth go, but he lost to a worthy opponent.

Sigh."

Indeed. We are sad, but not utterly devastated. 😉

And Sammy's just shaking some more pretties out of her sleeve. 😊

And the WINNER OF DARCIES ROUND 1 is ....

by one vote (although Claire's comment is a bit ambiguous, but we concede it to be in favour of Matthew, because Sammy and I are nothing if not fair and generous 🤭😉 )



Matthew Macfadyen: 5
Colin Firth: 4

shall we grab one of those each Mel?"

Yess, thank you Sammy! 😊

Just having a meltdown! 🫠

Also, a matter of some importance (I almost typed "impotence" ;)

Must have been a huge surprise! 😆

For the bonuses, did you want to double dip or use new books for those?"

Hi Judith, Lexi! 😊

Any books you started since 16 Dec is fair game.

Hope you'll enjoy it! :)

Ashley wrote: "the context is irrelevant for the words in text, right? It can be, say a vocal coach, vs a stage coach...."

Indeed, context does not matter. :)

Ashley,

does your book, Scrappy Little Nobody work for any of the bonus tasks?

(we can use 1 book to cover a regular + 1 bonus task :)

Sammy wrote: "Awesome. I was planning on doing that one after the book I just started.

I take it it will fit lots of tasks? 😆"

Could be, could be ....🤭

I started on Jane Austen at Home (have the updated kindle version as well) and it's as excellent as can be expected from Lucy Worsley.

Like you, Sammy, I loved her Agatha C. bio. 😊

I may buy her book Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days That Changed Her Life with 1 of my current audible credits.
