Q: Activity! Dream cast your current read.

Oh boy, I am BAD at theoretical casting...

I'm going to go with  Married By Morning by Lisa Kleypas, only because I've actually thought about actors that would work in those roles:

For the hero, Leo, I would cast Joe Anderson:

  

 

...because I saw him in Becoming Jane and realized that he looks great in period costume. And he could pull of Leo's personality quite well.

And for Cat, I'd go with Kate Winslet:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...because she fits the part looks wise and because I just like her.

    The Joe Anderson pic isn't showing up for me :-(

    I do love Kate Winslet though. Have ever since Sense and Sensibility.

    I'm always bad at casting too. I always make up people in my head so no star fits "right" and I'm SO stubborn...so they need to be perfect. ;)

    The Joe Anderson pic isn't loading for me, but I recognize the name. From the book synopsis, I think they'd both be good fits!

    Thanks for stopping by LIO! :)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog (and commenting) even though I had such a terrible answer! :D

    Though I haven't Married by Morning, the two actors you picked looked like they'd be a really cute couple; they almost have a royal, graceful aura about them (based on the pictures, IDK why, haha).

    Hopping through. I like Kate Winslet too. She's pretty and a talented actress. And doesn't seem too crazy.

    Haven't read the book either! Kate is likely a good choice--since I don't know the character! She's a sweetie!

    I couldn't get into Lisa Kleypas books after reading two, but I love the cast. Some guys just look great in other period's clothing.

    I thought that Joe Anderson was great in Becoming Jane. I really liked the camaraderie between Henry Austen and James McAvoy's Tom Lefroy.
