I loved all the quotes especially the ones from Bridget Jones and Lost in Austen.
I do have one from Camilla Morton’s book “How to Walk in High Heels”.
She says;
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possesion of a good heel, must be in want of a dance partner.”
Still, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that nothing beats the orginal uuniversally ackowledged truth!

All the references are just hilarious…well the one of the yacht sent me in a fit of guffaws, but as u said! It doesn’t beat the original XD
I haven’t read the one with zombies… it seems awkward to me. Maybe I’ll try it later. What I’m going for now is the Darcy mystery series

I loved the 2009 novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, opener!

Definately the zombies. I hadn’t read any Austen before I read PP & Z and it was /brilliant!/

The comment above inspired me to come up with this version: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man with fabulous nature and looks (and incredible dancing skills), must be gay.

In my experience…it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be gay.’ *sigh*
