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?

lil1inblue Loki! 😍 😍 😍 9mo
dabbe I bet if AFI updated the list, it would include SHERLOCK's Moriarty. “Miss me?“ 😱 And excellent question. I'd have to say yes because Darth Vader got redemption, right? Though most of these on the list were evil all the way to the end. Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩶🧡🩶 9mo

I didn‘t finish much this month 😔 but it was good for how much has been on my plate. My rereads were my only 5 stars (with crowns) so hoping for a better September.

Such a tiring day, but got to meet some students. 🥰 Today a bird gives good news to our travelers, but there are decisions that need to be made. All Bilbo wants is better food and to go home. Bilbo is amazingly consistent when food is concerned. 😅 #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapterADay @Daisey @JazzFeathers

Daisey I love the part the birds play. The thrush does not get enough credit for what it does. 2y
JazzFeathers I love the ideas of the birds. Somehow, there's something epic about them. 2y

Although the spiders episode is probably one of my least favourite in the book, l do love the first half of the chapter, the journey through Mirkwood.
Such a haunting place!

I love that dreamy atmosphere, that sense that something is there, and then it's not there anymore. The noises without a body. The lights, the doubtful path.

There's nothing certain in Mirkwood and still there's so much power there.

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.

Andrew65 Best of luck 😁 2y

"Do you mean to wish me a good morning or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good on this morning or that is a morning to be good on?" ☀️

Brought out my dad's copy of the Hobbit for this readalong. ❤️

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.)
⬇️

Larkken 4. Starless Sea (good thing for the apocalypse that my MIL just gave me this)
5. Beauty - Robin McKinley (though maybe Blue Sword instead for the sheer nostalgia? gah)
6. The Wood Wife - Windling
7. Pride and Prejudice
8. Stardust - Gaiman
9. The Princess Bride - Goldman
10. Kushiel‘s Dart. No, wait, Avatar. Gah!
11. Complete Borges short stories (so I can dream of infinite libraries or something 👀)
12. Good Omens
(edited) 2y
Larkken 13. Family‘s illustrated Alice and Wonderland
14. Finishing School trilogy by Carriger on audio (when breaking the rules, go big)
15. Moon Called - Briggs (I don‘t have a fav from this series, so this might end up being Whatever One I Grab from series)
Holy nuts I‘d give both my ovaries to have a compilation of the initial Murderbot stories to put on here. Sorry, Pride and Prejudice. Or maybe Good Omens?

I am still working on the #booklet list…

RaeLovesToRead Love it! Starless sea has come up a few times... I shall purchase it next time I'm in Waterstones! 😁 (Although I still need to read The Night Circus!) I found the booket list easier because there are several books that I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO READ and they just pushed their way to the top.. 😊 2y

Larkken @RaeLovesToRead This was curtailed severely by needing to be physical books present on my shelves! That made it easier lol 2y
IndoorDame Ooh, yes! I should definitely take Alice 2y
5feet.of.fury So far for best Kate Daniels (I‘m on book 7) I‘m going with 2y
5feet.of.fury Also Kate Daniels series has made me want to read the Princess Bride, but I have not yet. Love your Gaiman choices! Great list! 2y
Larkken @5feet.of.fury oooh is this the one where they FINALLY got together? Agreed, that IS nice 2y
Larkken @IndoorDame looking at my shelves made me realize I‘d have to bring at least a/some books based on nostalgia and unwillingness to lose a family copy ❤️! …and not just on what I‘d want to reread…and reread…lol (edited) 2y

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!
I finished listening to The Hobbit last night, and spent some time this morning with the notes and illustrations in my annotated edition. I love this illustration of Smaug, and the lines from Bilbo‘s poem seem a perfect ending to another reread.

#FellowshipOfTolkien

I'm so very behind! Trying to catch up today.

I'll admit I'm never too fond of the spiders, not sure why. But l do love Mirkwood.
It's and incredible place, with a haunting atmosphere and ful of mystery. And l love that dreaming atmosphere the appearance (and disappearance) of the Elves creates.
