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

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.
