Watching and rewatching this is making me incredibly happy. Especially the part where Richard Armitage sings. *quietly fangirls*
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…

What a particularly awesome thing to have seen today. Thank you for pointing it out, Angie. Come on NEXT December! :D
ReplyDeleteI am also thrilled to death that Richard Armitage is in this movie!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love me some geek fantasy! And Richard Armitage? Still looks good, even as a dwarf.
ReplyDeleteNo surprises that the RA singing bit was my favourite part too!
ReplyDeletePrecious.....Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAck, I HAVE to read the book before this comes out. I'm already ashamed enough that I haven't read it already. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am so there with you. I mean, with a voice like that, I figured he could sing, but...still.
ReplyDeleteIs any one else tempted to start calling him "Thorton" Oakenshield?
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this. Equally excited for June 2012 when the Hobbit and LOTR Lego sets hit the stores.
LOL - I think I need to go re-read this book so I can imagine Richard Armitage in it. I didn't know about him when I first read it years ago.
ReplyDeleteUsually I don't like to have the movie characters in my head while I read. I like my imagination better. But in this case, I will make an exception. :)
sigh....no matter how you dress him up, you can't hide the awesome that is Richard Armitage.
ReplyDeleteKenda, I know. A whole year . . .
ReplyDeleteLin, *highfive* Yay for RA!
Melissa, lol. So true. So true.
Marg, I knew you'd be particularly pleased with that bit. ;)
baby, my pleasure.
Melanie, doesn't it? And, naturally, I really do recommend the book.
Chelle, indeed. I just . . . sigh.
Kim, HA! That is what I am calling him from here on out.
Misti, if ever an exception were warranted, it's now!
Liz, you are so right.
