We are on a Richard Armitage run over here. I make no apologies. But I would not be a true fan (of the Armitage or of Sarah Rees Brennan) if I didn't direct you to her brilliantly nerdy parody of the film version of The Hobbit entitled Thorin Dreamboatshield: an Unexpected Hotness of Dwarves.

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.

A Richard Armitage run is a very good thing. And yes, I also wonder how they'll milk three movies of The Hobbit. But as long as we can look forward to Richard, I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? :)
DeleteYep, I'll be seeing each one as it comes out.
Um mine. No one else's.
ReplyDeleteSurely we can share, Katie. We've managed to with Warner after all . . .
DeleteThank you, I laughed and laughed!
ReplyDeleteShe is brilliant.
DeleteI read this and laughed so hard and LOVED it so hard as well. DREAMBOATSHIELD FOR SURE!! <3 Alyssa
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Alyssa. I kept trying to quote bits to my husband but was giggling too hard to deliver them properly.
