Welcome to Litsy!

As much as I love the story of The Hobbit, this was only okay. I enjoyed the art style and seeing the story represented visually, but there was a lot of explanatory text crammed into very small spaces with a font that was really hard to read. I‘m not sure The Hobbit was adapted very well in this particular graphic novel. But I found myself just looking at the pictures to tell the story rather than trying to read the descriptions. #bookspinbingo

Behold my #bookspin and #doublespin 😅 I feel like I‘m just cheating this month by using graphic novels but NaNoWriMo takes precedence over everything else for the moment. Looking forward to reading these! @TheAromaofBooks

$2 goodwill find! There‘s a little water damage on some of the pages but the illustrations are fantastic!

From what I can tell this edition is pretty rare. Woohoo!

A faithful rendition, though it naturally loses some of the richness of the book. Wenzel's artwork is certainly proficient, and I enjoyed the look of his watercolour technique but (you knew there was a but coming!) I was less enamoured of his characterisations. Bilbo looked a little too homely - perhaps an indication of my own prejudice in regard to what a 'heroic protagonist' should look like - the elves not ethereal or other-worldly enough. 👇👇

My new edition of the hobbit came today ! 😄

I found this gem at work while working on a labeling project 🤣😁😂😝. Might have to do a quick read after I'm done with the #lotrchapteraday #thehobbit readalong.

Summer evenings are for reading outside. #KidsThatRead

I have been wanting to pick up a graphic novel, and just haven't found the right one. Then my son surprises me with this! Happy mama!😊❤️

Went treasure-hunting at the library and struck gold! Bub and I each got a hefty stack but this was the cream of the crop 😍📚😍

Had no idea The Hobbit had been adapted for a graphic novel. Adding to my Tolkien library.

My first graphic novel 😊
