Today I'm participating in Crystal Collier's MOONLESS book release blogfest. First off I want to say that I just lurve the blogfest badge below - isn't it so pretty?!!? Anyway, I'm very happy to be participating in this blogfest, and now I'm going to step aside so you can learn more about Crystal's book.
In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.
Her nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.

So here's the question: If you lived in a society where arranged marriages were a la mode, whom would you beg your parents to set you up with? Why? (Literary characters and celebrities welcomed.)
SO glad I don't live in such a society, buuuut if I did I'd give the world of LOST IN AUSTEN a shot (yes, this show is related to Jane Austen's work, namely Pride and Prejudice). I wouldn't be terribly devastated to be destined for Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, even if it did mean shoving Lizzie out of the way - and even if the apple of my eye does refer to me as "an abomination!" at one point. heh. It would all be worth it, I think, for that moment by the lake when he makes my dream come true. :)

And while you're at it, enter to win one of these great prizes!
It's definitely worth it! Nice choice. :)
ReplyDeleteYou just want that big house and the servants and the money--admit it. ;) Great choice.
ReplyDeleteAw, another Mrs. Darcy. Love it! He's perfectly swoon worthy in every way. :)
ReplyDeleteI may have to read these books. No clue what kind of guy Darcy is. Isn't that sad? Am I allowed to be a writer and admit I've not read all the classics?
ReplyDeleteI expect to see Darcy's name pop up on several of these. He's certainly the total package: handsome, wealthy, interesting, so-complex-he's-utterly-simple, determined, etc. :D
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and shove Lizzie.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, everyone wants a Mr. Darcy!
ReplyDeleteI never read Pride and Prejudice, though I know it's one of those books I should really read to be considered well-read. I was really put-off when a certain children's show my little brother watched gave away the ending, and the endings of a lot of other classic literature. I felt like I shouldn't bother if I already knew the ending and had had it spoilt.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for Dr. Darcy! lol
ReplyDeleteAh, nice choice, Trisha. Can't argue with that one.
ReplyDeleteI chose Mr. Darcy - what a wonderfully wet man after a swim.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie Junebug
Mr. Darcy is a popular choice . . . Lizzie better get out of the way :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother Mr. Darcy!! Very popular choice! I can see why--he's a great guy! : )
ReplyDeletehttp://swordsandstilettos.blogspot.com/
he will definitely sweep you off your feet girl!
ReplyDeleteOne moment in heaven could be worth . . well, maybe a few days of torture.
ReplyDeleteMr Darcy, eh. I totally should have been ruder to women when I was single. Well, and richer I suppose.
ReplyDeleteHi, Trisha,
ReplyDeleteSeems Darcy is very popular today!
Classy choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Heather
Congrats and best of luck to Crystal!
ReplyDeleteWow, Mr. Darcy is a great choice. Haha. I thinks I've seen his mention before. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Mr. Darcy, too. :)
ReplyDeleteMr. Darcy has definitely been popular in this blogfest! For good reason, I know :)
ReplyDeleteYou are not the first lady to swoon over Mr. Darcy. He's a worthy choice.
ReplyDeleteSeems like there's a long queue for Mr. Darcy. So take a card and stand in line... LOL
ReplyDelete(See you next week for the Ubuntu Blog Hop. I'm looking forward to reading all the entries...)

I'd go for a book publisher.
ReplyDeleteMr. Darcy is a great choice--he's hard to resist. Austen sure knew how to write men-to-die-for.
ReplyDeleteOf course Mr. Darcy made the list. Patsy's comment made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Crystal. She's doing a fabulous job promoting! And I can't wait to read my copy of moonless.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Darcy is a popular pick. Before I got hitched, I think I'd have picked Sam from Benny and Joon, lol. But I'm already taken and wouldn't trade my hubby. He's awesome :) <3
Mr Darcy forever!!
ReplyDeleteI"m not sure - is this the original Moonless or is this no. 2 in the series?
I already have Moonless itself.
