I wasn’t going to join the 31 days bandwagon unless I could come up with a topic I loved, and preserved the variety of posts so many of you said you love about this blog. Well, this is it.
You won’t find any Rocky Horror Picture Show or Donnie Darko in this series. This is the Modern Mrs Darcy, after all. No, we’ll be talking literary loves, film favorites, and fabulous designs that have earned their highly specific but dedicated fans.
It’s gonna be fun.
This is day one.
Day Two: Why you are the way you are
Day Three: Girl power gone wrong
Day Four: It’s not a dirty little secret anymore
Day Five: A little irreverent, maybe even a little absurd
Day Six: 5 signs that a novel is a classic, not a cult classic
Day Seven: The Austen novels most Janeites never read
Day Eight: A beauty cult classic–and a bargain buy
Day Nine: Slim, angsty, and Rory Gilmore-approved
Day Ten: A movie you can’t erase from your mind
Day Eleven: The “secret” society all women deserve to discover
Day Twelve: Tales that defined a generation
Day Thirteen: 3 Cult classic movies I’ve never seen but have high hopes for

Day Sixteen: Glitzy and gaudy and completely over-the-top
Day Seventeen: 253 patterns that change the way you see the world

Day Twenty: Classic Cult: 5 favorite Jane Austen-inspired romantic comedies
Day Twenty-one: The MBTI Bible
Day Twenty-two: Affordable, accessible, versatile, hackable
Day Twenty-three: Because the handwritten note never goes out of style
Day Twenty-four: Tea snobs love it or hate it
Day Twenty-five: The patron saint of struggling writers

I love this idea! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in mind for these.
I signed up, but am wondering if that means you won’t be posting them here, and only emailing them out?
They’ll be on the blog and in your inbox if you’re an email subscriber. No worries!
Fun! This is odd, I know, but I feel like i have been hearing your name all OVER the place but just now visiting your blog? LOL So glad to finally sort of meet you. Found you tonight in the “too awesome” category over at Nester. I am there too. xo
So glad to “meet” you too! I’m off to check out your 31 Days series right now. 🙂
Love this idea and can’t wait to see the posts. (And oh, how I hate Donnie Darko…so glad you won’t be posting about it!)
I’ve never watched it … and I’m never going to! Happy but not surprised to find we’re on the same page. 🙂
So excited to read these! xo
I’m interested to see what you’ve picked! Goonies? The Princess Bride?
I’ve actually never seen Goonies….
Oh, wow – what a great topic – way cooler than my 31 days series (ha)! I look forward to following along over the next month.
oh this sounds like fun! and educational, too. i need this.. i’ve signed up for email alerts. school me on all the good things, sister!
so great to meet you this past weekend. i hope it was a life-giving conference for you!
xo
So great to meet you too! I had such a wonderful weekend–I hope YOUR experience was filled with all the good things.
This is brilliant! I am totally failing at coming up with an example of a literary cult classic… Dr. Frankenstein maybe? Can’t wait to see what you have in store!
Wohoo 🙂 cant wait to read along!
Oh, fun! I love the picture too. I am doing 31 days of self help books, inspired by Bridget Jones, who is now, apparently, 51 years old.
Inspired by Bridget Jones = Fun! Bridget Jones as 51 = Holy cow!
I must follow almost anything inspired by Bridget Jones. VG. The third book comes out Oct 15th. I’m also hooked on the cult-classic title. Excited to see what’s in store.
Yay! I was hoping you’d do a 31 Days series! 🙂
I can’t wait to see what all you cover! And I must send you a hundred virtual hugs for letting me know new Downton Abbeys can be watched online!!!! Blissful! 🙂
You already know I’m super excited about this series! Can’t wait to see what you feature. 🙂
You have my attention, Anne! This will be fun. 🙂
Just out of curiosity do you own the Anne of Green Gables cookbook? 🙂
Very cool pick! Excited to read. 🙂
If today is day 1 of 31, then what’s the first classic thing you love? I’m guessing it’s filling your friends with an overwhelming curiosity of what you will reveal first!
So many possibilities with this topic! I love me a good cult classic. Except for when I don’t. 😉
I can’t wait to see the list! I’m doing the October Dress Project (same dress for 31 days) so that kind of counts, right? 🙂
The Christmas Box (Richard Paul Evans) is kind of a cult classic, isn’t it? BTW, I finally read The Secret Keeper and loved it – thanks for the recommendation.
I have seen the movie Grey Gardens, and it is worth watching!
I’ve not watched Fight Club all the way through, but it’s one of my son’s favorite movies. It has a neat twist at the end, but I won’t spoil it for you!
I have read several good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how so much effort you place to create this sokrt of fantastic informative web site.
