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...
That is one of my favorite scenes from the book (and movie), but to hear him read it? Just, wow!

Karen, I know! It struck me speechless.
DeleteIt's like you know just what I want, Angie.
ReplyDeleteI do, Nicole. I do.
DeleteGosh. This has made my night! Thank you for showcasing this!
ReplyDelete*grin* It was my pleasure.
DeleteLove it. I adore the book and the Richard Armitage, er I mean, the TV version with Richard Armitage *cough* ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish there was an audio version of the whole book read by him. I could listen to his voice all day...
I would buy that audiobook so fast. It seems like a no-brainer to me. I can't believe they haven't done it yet.
DeleteHis voice . . .
Thanks so much for posting this, Angie. I love North and South very much (probably more than Pride and Prejudice). It's certainly a lot more passionate. If you loved the BBC mini-series, you should read the book itself as it expands on many of the scenes. Elizabeth Gaskell describes so well how those two fell in love. I feel a re-read coming on!
ReplyDeleteI have the book and I'm just sort of saving it for the right time. I know I'll love it.
DeleteGod bless you, Angie. If you need me, I'll be in a puddle on the floor.
ReplyDelete*smiles beatifically*
DeleteOh my! Is it hot in here or what??? Love that scene, that reading!!!!! Loved him in The Hobbit also!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel a bit close, now that you mention it. It really was the perfect scene to have him read,
DeleteHe greatly enhanced The Hobbit for me as well.
I swoon.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of the epitome of swoon-worthy.
DeleteWhen I found this clip on tumblr, my heart did a happy dance but it's even better as a youtube video with that photo montage. *emits a big, happy sigh* His voice is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect voice. The man is in possession of the perfect voice.

ReplyDeleteamen
DeleteSuch a treat, thank-you! This is incredible, that voice is to die for XD
ReplyDeleteIt is incredible. And incredible treat.
DeleteYou just made my evening! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm delighted to have made your evening.
DeleteDying of happiness-thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIt's that good. You are welcome!
DeleteAhh! I can't wait to get home so I can listen! Love Richard Armitage! And North and South. I really need to read the book, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
I need to read it, too! After this passage, I can hardly wait.
DeleteWhy thank you. Thank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you were a fellow connoisseur, Mandi. :)
DeleteRichard's voice is mine. Ahem.
ReplyDeleteYou're so possessive . . .
DeleteI read this book, and wasn't a huge fan, but the miniseries is one of my favorite things ever. If he narrated an audiobook of this, I bet I'd even love the book. Oh, swoon!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's interesting Christina. I have heard people say this is one instance in which the film outshines the book. And given my love for the film, I can kind of believe it. But him narrating the audiobook? Forgetaboutit...
DeleteFor Christmas my sister bought me a Richard Armitage calendar - easily my favourite pressie for this year! Now I can sit here and look at Mr January and listen to this over and over and over. Sounds like a perfect Sunday morning to me!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely sister and that is all there is to it. I think I need to see this calendar . . .
DeleteLate to the party but just wanted to say that this is awesome! Richard Armitage is love. <3
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd enjoy it, Chach. I don't know how he just goes about daily life speaking everything in THAT VOICE. It is distractingly good.
Deleteoh. my. goodness. I need to go rewatch that right now *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt's addicting. I could fall asleep to that voice.
DeleteAny idea where I can get a actual copy of this? The link no longer works.
