Just in case you were wondering (though I can't imagine why you would be), this was far and away my favorite moment of last night's Oscars presentation:
Runners up were, well, anytime Colin Firth was on screen.
I missed the Oscars, unfortunately...would have loved to see this on screen. And congratulations, you've won the "Seven Facts" award! Check it out: http://herestous.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/the-seven-facts-award/

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.

I feel a bit giddy finally talking to you all about this series. If you'll remember, I fell madly in love with The Q when it came out a few years ago. Now, Beth Brower is writing The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion — a series of novellas set in London in 1883. Each volume is an excerpt from the incorrigible Emma's journals, and the first two volumes are already available with the third on the way soon. I think they'd make rather perfect pandemic reading. Humorous and charming down to their bones, they're just what the doctor ordered to lift your spirits in this uncertain time that just proves to be too much some days. If you're experiencing one of those days, I suggest giving Volume 1 a go (it's only 99 cents on Kindle, $4.99 for a trade paperback copy). It will surprise exactly none of you that I own print and digital editions of both volumes. Miss Emma M. Lion has waited long enough. Come hell or high water (and really, given her track record, both a...
I love the cutaways to Harry looking awkward. :)

Undeniably my favorite part of the Oscars too! :D I love Ron and Hermione~
ReplyDeleteProof that autotune can make anytime sounds like music. I love this, so funny.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. My housemates and I were clutching at each other wildly on the couch. When we were able to form thoughts, we squealed. It was very silly.
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of watching it again at work today. It went as one might expect.
Yes, I giggled a lot. And loved Colin Firth. Yes.
ReplyDeleteHey, will we be seeing you on Saturday at the party?
Colin Firth is so dreamy! I have yet to see King's Speech yet though, I'm still waiting for it to come out on Redbox.
ReplyDeleteLove Ron and Hermione!
