My List of 100

So my sister- in- law did this on her blog a long time ago and a group of us were talking about it this weekend and thought we should all do a 100's list too.

That was fun to read. I recently read Pride and Prejudice and loved it. Naturally, I had to borrow the Keira Knightly video from my in-laws, and I've been watching it nonstop for the past two days. That's funny that you would say it's your favorite, 'cause it just might be mine now, too!
