Hey, friends. Welcome to February.
Today is the 2nd which means it is just eleven more days until the release of To Marry an English Lord. I’m so excited for you to get to read Sebastian and Jocelyn’s story. Set on the western side of the Grand Tetons, this is a love story between the son of an earl and an independent woman who has little time for romance while she runs her family’s shipping business in New York City. Of course, if her brother hadn’t had a run-in with a bison, she wouldn’t have returned to the family ranch in Idaho and never would have met the handsome viscount.
Here’s what Inspired by Life and Fiction’s own Tamera Alexander had to say about the book:
An absolute gem of a story! If you’re craving romance set against the vast beauty of the untamed west, then look no further. Filled with witty repartee and heartfelt emotion, Robin Lee Hatcher’s second installment in The British Are Coming series is guaranteed to please!
To Marry an English Lord is available for purchase for your Nook, Kobo, or Apple device for a few more days only (ends about the 6th). Then it will become exclusive to Amazon. On release day, it will be available in ebook, paperback, and audio.
Today, possibly as you read this post, I am joining two of the ladies who are in my Life Group to see Show #1 (Episodes 1, 2, & 3) of Season 4 of The Chosen. It feels like I’ve been waiting for this day forever. Yes, I toyed with the idea of waiting a little longer until the episodes arrive on the app, but then (1) I didn’t want to wait and (2) I want to show my support for this amazing show that is bringing the good news of Jesus to so many. Add to that, I said to my friends, “Would you like to go?” and the yeses came so fast my head was spinning!
In preparation for this day, I binged Seasons 1, 2, and 3 over the last couple of weeks. In truth, I have binged The Chosen many, many, many times. It fills me with love for Jesus and sends me running to the Scriptures to know Him more. As Paige Brown says in her Bible studies, “May we see Him more clearly. Love Him more dearly. Follow Him more nearly.” That’s what The Chosen helps me do.
That got me thinking of other shows that I have binged multiple times (not as many as The Chosen but quite a few times; not as spiritually uplifting but definitely entertaining), which then made me wonder if you do the same and to wonder what shows you can watch over again. Let’s skip movies that we can watch again and just stick with series, limited or longer. And let’s say it can be any series you’ve watched through at least twice.
Here are the ones I could think of that I’ve watched, beginning to end, at least two times through:
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
North and South (2004)
Poldark (2015-2019)
The Crown (2016-2023)
Victoria (2016-2019)
Foyle’s War (2002-2015)
Okay, please join in. Maybe you’ll remind me of something I’d like to see, maybe for the first time, maybe a repeat.

Thanks for the info. I ordered!
Thank you, Betty. God bless you.
I haven’t seen the whole of The Waltons twice, but I’ve seen some episodes several times. When we took care of my mother-in-law in her home, we kept the TV station on one that showed old programs. The Waltons was frequently on at meal times.
Other than that, I’ve watched:
Little House on the Prairie
The Winds of War (1983)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Pride and Prejudice
I won’t use the word “trekkie” because I think it fell out of fashion. LOL! But it is obvious what you love to watch. And I’ve seen lots of the Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. Probably have seen them all or most more than once. Sometimes I keep the TV on just for sound in the house.
All Creatures Great & Small, PBS, the newest version.
It will just make you feel good.
Yes, I love that show, and I think I’ve seen the early seasons more than once because I rewatch just before a new season comes out. That’s true for a number of PBS shows through the years.
The Chosen is such an huge blessing to me and game changer in my faith. So looking forward to S4. But I think we’ll have to wait patiently a little longer until it will be released in Europe (hopefully in theaters too 😉) You are so blessed in the states.
Have a great evening with your friends, Robin. Excited to hear your feedback but no spoilers 😉 From what I heard you’ll need a lot of tissues…
I promise, no spoilers. But probably all I’ll be able to do is say how wonderful it is. And I have extra tissues in my purse as I type this.
My sister and I have a long-standing tradition of re-watching all of our favorite movies and TV shows many times over! Some of our favorites are:
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies (we watch all six extended editions every single year!)
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version)
A Walk To Remember
The Last of the Mohicans
Cinderella (2015 version)
The Rookie (TV show)
When Calls The Heart (Hallmark TV show)
Full House (TV show)
The Chosen (we are also huge fans and saw the premier of episodes 1-3 in theaters!)
. . . and many more! I’m beginning to think it’s a terrible habit🤪
