My husband thinks this is so cool. A first edition in such good shape it seems unread. Am I the only one who is actually a little sad that through all these years, no one loved this book? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/world/europe/the-hobbit-first-edition-bristol...

AmyG Oh, wow. Imagine finding THAT. 2mo

marleed Wow. 2mo

Ruthiella Maybe it was read by a careful adult! But yes, the idea of the book never having been read does feel a little bit sad. 2mo

Lcsmcat @Ruthiella Let‘s hope that‘s the story. 2mo

Fantasy. I learned to read with fantasy books, my dad read fantasy to me and my sisters every night growing up. Fantasy is baked into my very foundation. ✨

#SundayFunday Have a great day everyone, and don‘t forget to tag me!

julesG That's a question I can't answer. I'm too chaotic to stick to one genre only. 3mo

IriDas Same. I was introduced to Fantasy in high school. Before, I‘d read mystery and novels. Even though my parents were avid readers, there were no Fantasy books in our home. Nor did my grade school teachers have us read any. In 11th grade I had to read one of the Pern books and was instantly hooked. 3mo

IMASLOWREADER fiction for me 3mo

I‘m beginning to see a pattern here! A few books I‘ve read, some on my TBR, some I‘ve never even heard of the author, and some I‘ve read other books by the authors but not the ones on the list. These are the whopping 4/100 that I‘ve read. #TLT
1. The Hobbit
2. The Little Prince
3. Rebecca
4. Miss Lonelyhearts

dabbe You described what ALL of us are experiencing perfectly!!! 🎯! I've never read MISS LONELYHEARTS--now on the TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤗 4mo

Susanita @dabbe I read it for AP English and couldn‘t tell you much about it other than it‘s short. 4mo

dabbe @Susanita The name reminds me of a character in Alfred Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW. 😍 4mo

Working on a new mini kit while listening to the Hobbit. This one is called Magic Forest and it's like a witches cottage in an enchanted forest. I remembered to put a ruler in the picture for scale this time 🤗

Catsandbooks So fun! 💚 7mo

Really fun playing in the snow today and then cozying up to read with some hot chocolate ☕️

Tolkien is so funny! I laughed out loud at the invention of golf— how had I forgotten about it?!
