Watching and rewatching this is making me incredibly happy. Especially the part where Richard Armitage sings. *quietly fangirls*
This book has made the rounds and no mistake. I started seeing early reviews awhile back and read a few delightful interviews with Leanna Renee Hieber and found myself intrigued to read her first novel-- The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker . I was, therefore, tickled to receive a copy for review from Ms. Hieber and quickly set about settling in. I knew it was a Gothic paranormal mystery of sorts, featuring (among other things) a group of loyal comrades, a private London academy, a bit of magic, an albino, and a swoon-worthy broody professor a la Richard Armitage in North & South . *moment of silence for the awesomeness of The Armitage* And that was the extent of my pre-reading knowledge. That and the fact that I loved the cover with its simple yet moody, midnight blue and its slightly off-kilter, scripty title.

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!

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.
