Here is this week's question...
Q: Activity! Who do you want to be? If you could choose any character from a book. What do you think that character looks like and what do you have in common?
If I could be any character, I would choose Elizabeth Bennet from Pride & Prejudice. Elizabeth was very intelligent, independent, witty, self-assured and rebelled against society’s expectations. While I like to think I share some of these characteristics, I’ve always envied her wit and self-assuredness. She is a character whose persona I’ve always admired. For me, Elizabeth looks like Elizabeth Ehle who portrayed her in A&E’s production of Pride & Prejudice (with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy! =)
So, if you could be any character, who would you choose? I can't wait to read about your choices!
I bet this is a popular choice this week! She is amazing! Congratulations on your feature.

Thanks! I'm gonna have to check out the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Jane Eyre is an awesome pick as well! =)

So true! Thanks for hopping by and for the follow. I followed you back.
DeleteCongrats on being featured! I'm an old follower and I love Elizabeth Bennett! Good answer. I selected Cherry Ames created by Helen Wells. I think I got a lot of my values from reading the Cherry Ames books when I was a kid. Loved that nurse with the rosy red cheeks.
