Teens - I discovered the classics, favourites being Dickens, Austen, and the Brontes.
Always and to this day - fairytales

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?

Look it‘s just a really magical story isn‘t it? Perhaps the only thing more magical than reading it yourself for the first time, is reading it to someone else for their first time (even if they‘re a bit too little to remember it). Already looking forward to reading this together again.

#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

Terrible glare, but it‘s read Tolkien day!

It's been decades since I read this book for the first time, and I enjoyed this second read just as much. I forgot how much the 2nd-person POV was used, and it worked exquisitely; I felt like I was a kid being told this tale by Tolkien himself. One of the best hero's quests ever written because what Bilbo seeks (the dwarves' gold) is no more a symbol of what he really finds: himself and how brave he truly is. Thanks #LotRChapteraDay for the ride.

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.

I think Elrond to be one of the most amazing characters Tolkien ever created. And l think that his appearance here shows Tolkien must have had a soft spot for him too 😂

But isn'kind of strange how Elrond appears as himself and yet his Elves are so different from 'his Elves'?

A wizard, dwarves, a hobbit, and … Trolls

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.)
