~The End~
You girls did a fantastic job on this read along!!! I think it's such a perfect ending to the book. I enjoyed all of your posts so much!! And it was super fun to read this book again this year. The other day I realized that I think Lily Collins would play the perfect Marguerite for how I see the character. I don't know about Sir Percy... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming along for the ride, Grace! Oooh, Lily Collins could do the job nicely! I do wish they make a modern adaption sometime in the near future! Thanks again for all your support!
DeleteThank you so much, Grace! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I really enjoyed re-reading this book, too! I think that you could be right on Lily Collins playing Marguerite - I haven't seen any of her movies myself, but looks-wise - she looks the part! :) Yes, Sir Percy does need someone particularly special, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteAh, this was so much fun!! I can't believe that it is over!! Thank you, girls, for hosting this and doing all the hard work reading it.
ReplyDeleteI must say I was surprised by the ending! I was betting that the "old Jew" was Sir Andrew instead of Sir Percy! That was unexpected, lol!
Oh, you're casting options are fantastic! I've never seen Matt Smith in anything (well, that's a lie, I have actually seen all of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I don't remember him), but he looks good for the part, and Aldis Hodge would be good, too. But, my favorite idea is one that you mentioned in the video: Jonas Armstrong!! I love the BBC Robin Hood, so I approve. Plus, it would be amazing to see him outwit Richard Armitage again! Because, Richard Armitage would be THE PERFECT Chauvalin. Both Lily James and Keira Knightley would play Marguerite well. I think that Daisy Ridley would be great, too.
Thanks for the mention in the video! That was sweet of you two.
Tis such sweet sorrow now that the book is over! Oh that's great! I never suspected the Jew as being Sir Andrew, but I was wondering where in the world the other Jew was supposed to be!
DeleteThanks! Matt Smith play Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. You are braver than I to watch it, but from the clips I've seen it looks... interesting. Mr. Smith's Mr Collins was HILARIOUS!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot to include Jonas Armstrong! T'would be fun to see him and Richard Armitage team up again. Did you watch all 3 seasons of the BBC Robin Hood? What did you think of the ending?
I've only ever heard Daisy Ridley sing, but I'm sure she would be good as well!
Of course we had to mention our dear "She Who Comments Faithfully"!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! You kept us going!!!
So sorry it's taken me this long to reply, MovieCritic! You are so so welcome - it was very fun!
DeleteThat would have been so funny if it had been Sir Andrew! He really got "forgotten" till his reappearance at the end! :)
Oh, so glad you like the casting options! Yes - Grace loves Jonas Armstrong in Robin Hood! And yes - I would love to see Richard Armitage as Chauvelin too! Yes, Daisy Ridley would be intriguing option!
Thank you so much for reading this book with us!
Oh, and all the fan art and collages are brilliant! You and your friends did beautiful jobs.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, my goodness they are VERY talented!!
DeleteThank you! Yes, Chalice and Grace are quite talented ladies!
