Yes, the Pride and Prejudice lover in me cannot stop - and likely never will! For Valentine's Day, I received the Pride and Prejudice (2005) Deluxe 2-disc DVD Gift Set from my very own, er, Mr. Darcy. (snickering here. A couple of you have met my cowboy husband and so will understand the humor...) Anyway...it has a really nice book inside filled with all sorts of pictures and includes the soundtrack and a free ticket to see Atonement. I still have my ticket to see Atonement. Don't ask me about it. I don't want to talk about *why* I did not get to see Atonement. It is still a sore spot, believe me.

So, the other day, while perusing my friend Sharon Lathan's site, I came across a really well done blog all about Pride and Prejudice 05. If you like Jane Austen and love the 2005 version of this movie, check this blog out. There is a lot to read and look at!

All of this reminds me, I have a couple of new Pride and Prejudice related books to review. Will get right to that this week!

I like the 2005 version okay (I own it), but my favorite by far is the BBC production with Colin Firth. I just think the 2005 version cut too much out of the story.

Hi, Jen! This is Jeane from the P&P 05 Blog. Thanks a lot for checking it out and linking my blog to yours. I'll link yours to mine too. You have great blog here. :)

I too am a fan and owner of both versions Dev. They each have their strong points and their weaknesses.

Welcome Jeane! Thank you for stopping by! Thank you for linking my blog. That is very kind of you.

I love my gift set! The booklet is wonderful. Thanks, Jen, for again plugging my site and for giving the nod to Jeane's. One can never advertize the wonderful 2005 P&P enough IMHO. :)

Jeane's site is wonderful and I love to visit there. And, of course, I love to give props to my good friend Sharon!

That reminds me, I have something I want to copy and scan for you. A piece of P&P05 memerobilia that you would enjoy! Will try and get to that this week sometime.
