Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve started a ritual of reading something relaxing before bed with a cup of chamomile and honey to help with my insomnia. This is my third time trying to enjoy the Hobbit, although I love the movies. I started this attempt with a mindset that I was reading something very cozy and ended up loving it. I even cried at the ending. I‘ve purchased lotr, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The Children of Húrin to read next ☺️ It is my Feb pick ?

I'm 💯 Hobbit, are you? 😊

I didn‘t do so well! Some I read to the kiddos, some I read recently, and the rest I had to rely on a faulty memory!!

Faves: A Wrinkle in Time, The Graveyard Book, and The Hobbit (& Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, The Lord of the Rings, & The Gruffalo)

I‘d add: The Borrowers, The Guardians of Ga‘Hoole, The Unwanteds

Impossible to resist a “greatest books” list.

I‘ve read 56 of the 100 books which puts me, at the moment, at #20 on the list.

Favorites include the tagged book—love it and The Fellowship of the Rings—as well as I Want My Hat Back (love Klassen), American Born Chinese, and The Graveyard Book.

Books I would add: The Lightning Thief (first Percy Jackson), Stuck (Oliver Jeffers), & The Monster at the End of this Book.

Shoutout to my husband for these amazing bookends he got me to add on to my library 📚 #notallthosewhowanderarelost #lotr #hobbit

1. I think the oldest thing I own is a book about Chicago published in 1880. It talks about the city‘s history, interesting stories, and sites to see when visiting. Beautiful illustrations throughout. It‘s a really cool little book.

2. I would love for The Hobbit, or a book like it, to still be relevant in 100 years. It‘s what got me into reading and I hope it holds the same magic for future generations too.

Happy hobbit day!

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?
