Welcome to Litsy!

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

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

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.

"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.)

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.

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.
