Not long ago I discovered a few of you tweeting to get me to the 300 follower mark. As little things I read on Twitter often do, that one sort of made my day. You're all really too sweet for words and I joked that perhaps it was time for a giveaway. The truth is I've been in the mood to have one for awhile now and this is as good a time as any. So here's the deal. This will be a triple prize pack giveaway , meaning there are three packs and you can indicate which one you'd like to be entered to win in the comments. I will choose three random winners and contact them. This giveaway is open to anywhere The Book Depository ships! Here's the list of countries , FYI. Since I tend to read a lot of urban fantasy, straight fantasy, and young adult, I've chosen a set of each including all books currently in print in that series. The Urban Fantasy Pack The Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews (My reviews here , here , & here ) The Fantasy Pack The Queen's Th...
, in which Anne Elliot reads Captain Wentworth's letter. I think my favorite part is when he pauses and says in that perfectly modulated voice, "I can listen no longer in silence." Yeah. That should do the trick this Monday morning. Thank goodness for Jane Austen. What would the world be like without her?
I've had such a crush on Greg Weiss like you wouldn't believe! Hotness.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love that I just recently read Persuasion and now this!!
ReplyDeleteOh my. You know, I've always thought Emma Thompson to be one of the smartest women alive. Not only is she fantastic in every role she plays and she wrote that fantastic screenplay for Sense & Sensibility (which was just about perfect) but she married Greg Wise and had his child. She is my idol (LOL) I now need to go find my copy of Persuasion :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, I love Jane Austen and I watched Sense & Sensibility something like five times.
ReplyDelete"For you alone I think and Plan"...now this is a declaration of love
Goodness! I think the only way that could be more swoon-worthy is if it was Richard Armitage reading. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKatie, well, how could you NOT?? I mean, I am in love with Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, but still. Willoughby...
ReplyDeleteLenore, oh, that's right! What perfect timing. :)
Jen, I just have to say that I agree with every single word you said. I have long felt that way, in fact.
Emily, S&S is one of my top 10 movies of all time, no question. I could pretty much always watch it.
mainhoonemily, you said it! Okay, what kind of strings do we have to pull to get someone to stick RA in an armchair and slap a copy of P&P in his hand??
Thank you, Angie! That was awesome, and just what I needed.
ReplyDeleteSally, I'm so glad. Sometimes you just need a little loveliness in your life. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's quite a few that are worth listening too there. I had been meaning to go back and check if they had added any new ones to this site and it looks like they have. Thanks for the reminder about the site!
