When my daughter was young it took a while for her to acquire language. A Dr from Stanford told me that research shows that children who learn to sign will speak sooner than those who do not learn to sign. We were encouraged to teach our daughter sign language b/c this would help her learn how to communicate. Her brain was working and making the “communication connections” even if she wasn’t speaking yet. The Dr told me that as soon as she could speak, she wouldand she did! Also, I tried to get my daughter to say “mommy” for a year. Once I paired it with a sign, she started signing it and shortly after started to attempt the word verbally. My experience was highly positive! I’d love to hear about your experiences.

Which character is the goofball in Pride & Prejudice?

In a way, I can see Henry Tilney (Northanger Abbey) as a goofball, but Catherine Morland isn’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier, so she wouldn’t qualify as the brains of this pairing. But Pride & Prejudice? Unless you mean Bingley? But he’s not the hero.

That’s a real head-scratcher.

Another that comes under this category and well worth a mention is the combo of Min the Actuary and Cal the dyslexic in Jennifer Cruisie’s “Bet Me”

How about Midsummer Madness by Laura Kinsale. That was laugh out loud funny to me. Merlin is a typical brilliant but absent-minded professer type and the Duke was so staid and rigid.

I actually prefer Brockway’s Bridal Season because I love watching Elliot come unstuck at the mere sight of Letty. The proposal at the end is a total fairy tale. I loved the book from beginning to end.

I think “Miss Wonderful”, the first of Chase’s Carsington books, is another good example of this plot (although it did have a somewhat saggy middle). Mirabel has a decent life: she has friends, a loving father, and is respected in her community. It’s not until Alistair Carsington appears on her doorstep that she realizes how much of life she’s let pass her by. Alistair loves clothes and loves women, but he is content to live on the surface and doesn’t mind his reputation as a flirt and flibbertygibbet until his father confronts him with the Episodes of Stupidity. Classic Loretta Chase.

I agree with Lynn Spencer and also love friends to lovers plots, although with the caveats mentioned in the thread on this subject on the Potpourri Board.

There are all kinds of plot devices that draw me in, but the two that come to mind right away are friends-into-lovers and reunions. I know a lot of people don’t like there to be separations in a romance, but I am a sucker for a good reunion scene.

Julie Garwood did a few goofball heroines in her historicals. Sara from The Gift comes to mind first. She’s a clueless kind of goofball.

The Sherry Thomas book sounds a lot like The Scarlet Pimpernel. I can’t wait.
