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! 😍 😍 😍 4mo

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! 🩶🧡🩶 4mo

@Daisey @JazzFeathers Thank you for leading us on this nostalgia filled adventure with Bilbo and his friends! I had a blast following their travels with the group and I‘m really excited to continue the adventure. I‘ve read the beginning, but not the end of the trilogy, so I can‘t wait to see what happens in the parts that are completely new to me! #LotRChapterADay

Daisey So glad you enjoyed it and are planning to continue with us! 1y

JazzFeathers So happy you enjoyed the journey so far (it was truly a blast!) and exited to go on with all of you! 1y

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 caught up on “Flies and Spiders” and “Barrels Out of Bond” this evening. I always appreciate seeing how much Bilbo grows in these chapters. He shows great stealthiness, ingenuity, and courage to rescue the dwarves.

Bklover I‘m so sorry, @Daisey - you can remove me from the list. I really want to do this at some point, but I just can‘t right now! Too much coming up in August. Thanks so much for hosting this❤️❤️ (edited) 1y

dabbe And the dwarves are finally realizing what an asset Bilbo is! Gandalf ain't a wizard for nothin'! 🪄 1y

Daisey @Bklover No worries at all, and if you want to jump back in at any point just let us know. 1y

Daisey @dabbe so true! 1y

JazzFeathers I'm only catching up 🥴 I love seeing Bilbo grow. It's a slow, natural growth. Though l wonder whether it is really a grow, or rather a revelation of his whole self. 1y

BarbaraJean I‘m so impressed by Bilbo‘s adeptness at coming up with solutions and getting the dwarves out of all kinds of difficulties. And more impressed at his willingness to do so, after they placed such a low value on his contributions—that overheard conversation after escaping from the goblins! @dabbe Yes! It‘s nice to see him finally get his due appreciation! 1y

BarbaraJean @JazzFeathers That‘s a great point, that this adventure is drawing out/revealing more of who he really is. Gandalf saw what was already there, and now the circumstances are proving out who Bilbo is. 1y

My companion today is Fruity Pebbles pancakes. Yum! Another amazing scene with Bilbo using the ring pretty much all the time while all the dwarves are imprisoned by forest elves. He later figures out that he needs to help them by stuffing them in barrels to float along the river. Now he needs to figure out how to catch up to them and let them out. 😬 #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapterADay @Daisey @JazzFeathers

5feet.of.fury Yum! 1y

Daisey I love this chapter; well, really I just love it all, but I think this is where Bilbo really comes into his own. Also, those pancakes look delicious. 1y

JazzFeathers This chapter is just delightful. I love the humour about the Elves. Not so common in Middle-earth 😜 1y

Read the first chapter with Gandalf (the Grey) cuddled next to me. I enjoyed reliving Bilbo‘s discomfort and Gandalf‘s wise demeanor. I‘m hoping this time around I‘ll get to learn more about the dwarves. Time to go find a dragon! #FellowshipOfTolkien @JazzFeathers @Daisey #LotRChapteraDay

Daisey It seems it was a good day for Gandalf snuggles and books! 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I have a gray and white cat named Gandalf too! I‘ll have to try to get a picture of him with my kindle 😄 1y

Roary47 @Clare-Dragonfly It is a really good name for a wise cat. 🥰💛 1y

Hobbit's Journal: Being a Blank Book with Some Curious Illustrations of Friends and Foes of the Nine Companions | J. R. R. Tolkien

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… (edited) 2y

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

Magic Bleeds

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.

I‘ve stayed caught up listening to chapters of The Hobbit, and tonight I spent a little time perusing the illustrations and notes in my print edition with supper. I always enjoy the “Barrels out of Bond” chapter as Bilbo continues to figure out how he can truly be independent, innovative, and helpful to the dwarves.
