Reclusive Bilbiophile's "If You Like" theme for the week is: matchmaking.
I had to wrack my brain a bit for this one. An obvious answer would be:
Matched and Crossed by Ally Condie
But I thought I'd dig a little deeper. I came up with:
 |  |  |
The Espressologist by Kristina Springer
Emma by Jane Austen
Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland
The Dating Game by Natalie Standiford (love her but have never read this one!)
Movies:
Hello, Dolly (1969)
Clueless (1995)
Do you have any other suggestions? Put them in comments. Now, here's....

The Oracle of Dating series by Allison Van Diepan is a cute one about matchmaking gone wrong.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of that author but not that series -- sounds good. My opinion is that most of the time matchmaking DOES go wrong :)
DeleteI love the movie Clueless. So funny and cute at the same time. Alicia Siverstone was perfect as Cher. The whole cast and storyline was perfect. Now I want to watch the movie lol.
ReplyDeleteThat movie is on my "Will Watch Over and Over" list. It's completely adorable and since it is a Jane Austen retelling, I can tell myself it's semi-educational too.
DeleteI can't really think of any dating series off the top of my head besides Matched. Umm I know that I read some recently, they just slip my mind lol! Once again, awesome trivia question.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you got it right. Cause you always do :)
DeleteI'm SO glad you put Emma on here! I love that book, it's one of my favorites by Austen :)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice or the matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof. :)

I would say most Regency books, because the ultimate goal was to catch a husband.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered, I finally checked the rules, that the Trivia Quiz is not International. Woe is me.
I love Regency books too :)
DeleteThe last trivia quiz was international. I do try to mix it up. Sorry about this one :(
I can't think of any other books dealing with this topic expect Matched/Crossed/Reached(The title for the third book is out!) by Ally Condie and Emma by Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteI like the red cover of Reached!
