Call me dumb, but since I am not used to Facebook, this is all Greek to me....even though I love Austen!

Becks said...

Agrees with Ella. It is like Greek, Latin, Spanish, Proper English and Girlish to me.

Daniel and Christa Blanchard said...

New post please!!! Love you!!

Ella said...

Jess, did you ever finish "And Then There Were None?" I have it on hold at the library, but I wanted to tell you that there is an old movie adaptation of it (that is how I remembered you had read it) The movie is really good!

Jessica McDonald said...

Thank you for the comments, y'all!!!

Abigail- of course you can follow my blog! Thank you. :)

Amanda- Yes!! I was in hysterics! I just love it!! :D

Jeremy- Sparrowbook? That WOULD be VERY funny!! You should really do it! :D I'll have to find that Genesis one.

Christa- I'm trying to put one together! Sorry it's taking so long. :(

Ella- Yes, I did! I loved it! I saw the old movie adaption and liked it actually MORE then the book. I must warn you that the book ends VERY differently then the movie does (I prefer the movie's ending)! But I love them both! :D
