Welcome to Litsy!

A reread for me. The last time I read it I was in middle school. I was shocked at how much of my memory of it had been hijacked by the films. I‘m curious to see how much I misremember from the following trilogy. 😅 This will always be a very nostalgic story for me. I felt a profound connection to the young woman I was when I first read it and fell in love with Tolkien‘s world. ❤️
This was part of my February #Roll100

I took Kili to the vet this morning for his checkup, and I had to settle a discussion about his name. The vet thought it must be short for Kilimanjaro, but the tech knew it was one of the dwarfs from The Hobbit. “You know, Kili and Fili, the hot ones.”

1. Yes! But not for a long time…I might have to rectify that soon. Blanket fort reading is always spectacular.

2. The tagged book because when I was little there was one winter when every weekend my mom would read a chapter of The Hobbit to my sisters & I. She read from the illustrated edition (based on the animated movie), almost always in front of the fire, & it was perfect. One of my most vivid childhood memories.

Late lunch #CoffeeAndABook - pumpkin cold brew and breakfast melt sandwich plus more Hobbit after (nearly) completing my Christmas shopping 🛍️ 🎄

I DNF these books in the past but after many moons, I enjoyed it. I‘m so glad I gave it another chance. There are so many psychological aspects in this story. The audiobook is amazing. 4 ⭐️
I‘m not officially in the group but I read it because of #FellowshipOfTolkien group @JazzFeathers It gave me an opportunity to read this series. I hope I can read the 2nd book next month.

I‘m so excited to read this with kiddo! We started this morning and she already likes hobbits because I‘ve told her about their meal schedule. She approves.

Old Instagram post but I do love my fantasy shelf.

And finally, Smaug on an Aubusson tapestry.
