...and regular programming comes to a screeching halt while she stares blissfully at a post dedicated entirely to Mr. Thornton's cravats.
Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl
It's been awhile, but this topic was too good to pass up. When I thought about it, I genuinely could not recall which were the first ten books I actually reviewed here on the blog. So then, of course, I had to know. The thing is, I originally started the whole thing simply posting a once a month list of my favorite reads and rereads of the month. That went on for some time until lo and behold I went ahead and wrote and posted my first review on November 9, 2007. In hindsight, I probably should have known exactly which book pushed me over the edge into full fledged reviews. So this was a rather delightful journey back in time. Do you remember the first book you ever reviewed (in any forum) or what made you take the plunge? Here are my first ten (and I have to say, looking at this snapshot from the past, these remain some of my absolute favorite authors and a pretty spot-on array of the genres I read and love tod…

You know what's funny? I'm watching N&S right now, as we speak, for the first time. He looks just as I imagine Poe would in ten years.
ReplyDeleteYou are not. Seriously? Is it not made of the very most awesome?
ReplyDeleteAlso my brain just exploded at the thought of RA as grown-up Poe. It's too perfect. *dies*
I keep trying to get my mom to watch North and South. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteJanicu, oh man. My mom went nuts over it. I gave it to her for Christmas, we watched it, then she flew back home and watched it again. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. *swooning* That cravat post was...great. Thanks, Ang! Obviously I need to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteHa! Just barely post some Richard Armitage love myself. Too funny.

ReplyDeleteI love him so so much. I need to see what else he is in and then rent them all immediately.
ReplyDeletecravats have got to the sexiest thing that isn't already on a man's body ;)
ReplyDeleteHolly, *grin* I know. Anytime you want to get together and watch it, I am up for it. :)
ReplyDeleteSuey, lol, it's just that kind of day. *goofy grin*
Janssen, I know the feeling. I'm this close to breaking out the BBC Robin Hood and just giving myself over to it.
Aimee, LOL! What is it about them? I can't figure it out. But whatever it is, it's real.
Diana and Angie, I always pictured Po as Viggo Mortensen-y, but Armitage works very well too. Oh, cravats! Hawt :)
ReplyDeleteLove him!
ReplyDeleteRhiannon, Viggo, eh? I hadn't thought of him as Poe before. But Armitage is like a revelation as Poe in 10 years. lol. DH asked me last night if I really thought cravats were hot. I debated my answer and settled for nodding vigorously. ;)
ReplyDeleteJennie, what's not to love? Tall, check! Dark, check! Brooding, check! Killer smile, check!
HAHA! Thank you for the shout-out. That guy really does know how to rock a cravat. :)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine brought your blog to my attention and I love it! Very clever and funny!
I also LOVE reading, especially young adult and fantasy like you. Have you read the Percy Jackson series? Or the Fablehaven series? (Perhaps you've already reviewed them... I haven't explored your blog entirely.) They're both fun.
Anyway, nice to "meet" you and I'll be dropping by your blog now that I've discovered it for myself. :)
