I've Got North and South On My Brain...

You all know by now that I've been participating in a read-along of North and South. Hence I've been thinking about Mr. Thornton a lot! So I decided y'all should too. ;)

North & South directed by Brian Percival (TV, Mini-Series, BBC, 2004)

Ah, those eyes.



North and South (Part 4) "My word, Margaret; to admit that the South has its faults and that Mr Thornton has his virtues. What has happened to bring about such a transformation?"

Yes, this would be my favorite scene! I only rewind it three or four times when I watch. ;)




The music for this miniseries is amazing!




For just a quick overview of the series in all its loveliness.



:)

And last, but not least.... *dreamy sigh*

    * swoon * my family and friends are already concerned by my interest (cough. Obsession) with North & South, but this makes me want to read/watch it all over! Again. But who's counting? ;)

      One can never watch North and South too many times, Sarah!!! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. ;)

    OHHH!!!!

    This kind of just made my day. :-)

    I've only seen the miniseries once, two years ago, and I'm convinced I MUST watch it again, and soon. I loved it the very first time I watched it, which means on the second time around I'll absolutely ADORE it. John Thornton....*swoons*

    THE EYES.

    Oh, its' so beautiful. :-)

      I'm so glad, Emma Jane! You really must watch it again. It's just as fabulous the second, third, even twentieth time watching! ;)

      I so agree. His eyes are amazing!

    Oh my gosh, I know! I watched this three times in one week, and my husband thought I must be getting sick! (I obsessively watch romantic movies when I have a cold...) :)

      Tell your husband that you are fine and normal, Hannah. It's simply not possible to just watch this miniseries only once! ;)

      Also, I obsessively watch romantic movies a lot in general, so.....I understand!

      I did! Although my words sounded more like, "Don't judge me!" while clutching a bag of cookies to my chest. :P

      Ha! I am POSITIVE that you totally convinced him! The cookies were the final push, right? ;)

      The book is quite good, Alex! It does get a little hard to read in some moments, but I just loved that we get so much detail on what Mr. Thornton's thinking. The book spends a great deal of time in his head, so if that intrigues you, I say you should try it sometime! :)

      And isn't the series amazing?!
