Two Kings & Two Towns & One Book
♕ Two Kings ♕
Mr. Armitage just appeared as King of the Dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield, in a new video preview to the major cinema production by Sir Peter Jackson “The Hobbit”, which will start with the first part in December 2012.

Second trailer on YouTube, just published last Wednesday, 19th of September 2012, during J.R.R. Tolkien Week.
Servetus presented King Richard on her blog Me+Richard Armitage, as Thorin Oakenshield last week got so much attention that she thought, our king might get jealous.
But there is also so much news and the lively discussion about his last resting place, that King Richard III needs not to worry:

♕ Collective Reading ♕
Servetus introduces the Twitter procedure of the collective reading and shows, how the discussions will work.
Here on KRA, we will also give room and create a separate page for the collective reading, to enable discussions and non-time-sensitive discussions to take place.
We will try to get the discussion started here with posts (approximately on Mondays), collecting information and questions.
The first discussion of chapter 1 – 5 will start next Sunday, 30th of September 2012! So it is high time to get the book and start reading ;o)
If you want to join in and still need a copy of the book, please consider to make your purchase via the link at RichardArmitageNet.com, where reference fees will go to the charities selected by Mr. Armitage. Thank you!
