Welcome to Litsy!

I'm 💯 Hobbit, are you? 😊

Happy Hobbit Day!!!! #FellowsipOfTolkien

I celebrate today with this quote because it resonates so deeply with my life in this moment.

Tolkien's words, as usual, guide and comfort me.

This was fun!! The bottom three are villains that frightened the life out of me as a child!! I‘m sure they meant the singular man in Bambi, I‘m using it to mean mankind. Also, if you‘re playing a fascist/Nazi automatic villain!! Missing from the list are my two favorite villains, Moriarty from Sherlock and Loki. (if you get redemption arc, are you still a villain?)

Care to play?

#SummerSouls Day 2: #mountains reminded me of a Poetry Friday feature Iphigene once shared on GatheringBooks with the ballad Far Over the Misty Mountain here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8PY

And finally, Smaug on an Aubusson tapestry.

“As Thorin carefully explained, Mr. Baggins was still officially their expert burglar and investigator. If he liked to risk a light, that was his affair.”

Thorin again 😂

However, I‘m very concerned about the Lake-Men 😬

Mainly just a transition chapter (and a shorter one at that). Our travelers find their way to the mountain of the dragon 🐉. It‘s not hard to see it‘s the correct one because of the smoke. Now they need to find a way in. Luckily, they have Bilbo. I just want to note that twice in the past two chapters they mention Gandalf. Like he isn‘t with them he has other business, but Tolkien doesn‘t want to leave him out. Cause he‘s awesome! Lol.

I'm so behind in the #FellowshipOfTolkien reading of The Hobbit, as well as the other books I've been reading that I'm joining #20in4 with a goal of reading for 20 hours this weekend. I don't have to work tomorrow, so I should be able to pull it off.

Listening to the rain and starting a reread of this adventure! #FellowshipOfTolkien

15 books? And the world is ending? You might as well just tell me that some much-needed reading glasses are broken 😜 @RaeLovesToRead (actual pic of me avoiding this dire thought) #ihavequestions #belovedbooks

Here‘s my list (with commentary!):
1. The Hobbit (⬆️THIS copy and yes I‘ll be mad if it gets scuffed or dinged)
2. The Complete Ivory - Egan (hey, series is contained into one book!)
3. Magic Strikes (the BEST Kate Daniels. Fight me.)
