Like, we help soften their rough edges and help them find their fullest potential. Likewise, they can help us become stronger & more confident if we need a boost, or they can help us lighten up if we need to laugh more. It's a win-win when the right people and personalities combine :o)Rebecca (RivkaBelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998385496336450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-39619402969623640532011-08-31T21:01:28.045-05:002011-08-31T21:01:28.045-05:00Ooh, visiting the Jane Austen days would be totall...Ooh, visiting the Jane Austen days would be totally cool!Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570429200595565076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-79233620720421164632011-08-31T18:29:44.262-05:002011-08-31T18:29:44.262-05:00Yay for creatures of comfort :D

If not for that unfortunate fashion nightmare, I would like to join you on a trek to Pemberley. But only the fictional Austen-world. -- for a fun time travel adventure there, watch LOST IN AUSTEN on DVD -- long, but one of my all-time favorites!<br /><br />Y'all look smart, savvy, and fun in your glasses, BTW.

I'd go hungry!<br /><br />Lisa: I hear ya! Big groups send me to a corner very quickly!<br /><br />Gina and Melissa: I too have noticed a shyness among book bloggers. Maybe this is an "easy" way for us to be social without feeling we may be rejected? And if Marcello was in the Dark Ages that I showed up in and he was interested in me, then I might like the Dark Ages...but those are some big "if's" to overcome!<br /><br />Rebecca: I think as a woman I want to feel valued and not taken advantage of. So if being valued entails some strong protection from my man then I'll take it. Just so long as he also lets me stretch my wings and be me too! Not having read Cascade yet I think that Marcello may learn to nudge it down a bit. After all Darcy did! Maybe they were tamed by their women instead of their women taming them?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-29525017302300776952011-08-31T11:11:38.665-05:002011-08-31T11:11:38.665-05:00Marcello is definitely coming across as the "...Marcello is definitely coming across as the "strong, protective, always-true-to-duty"-type...I think that can be a wonderful thing, so long as he also learns when duty needs to be nudged down a smidgeon (I'm thinking of Darcy, right about now, haha)...Rebecca (RivkaBelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998385496336450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-35979280463409412032011-08-31T10:44:21.047-05:002011-08-31T10:44:21.047-05:00I'll raise my hand and admit to being shy as w...I'll raise my hand and admit to being shy as well...guess it is more common with book readers and bloggers?<br /><br />PS.
