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?

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! 🩶🧡🩶 1y

The Hobbit | J.R.R. Tolkien

I caught up two chapters tonight: A Thief in the Night and The Clouds burst. In the first I‘m surprised with Bilbo for basically lying and going behind his companions back. Gandalf is back! Just in the Nick of time too! 😍 #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapteraDay @Daisey @JazzFeathers #CatsofLitsy

Daisey The whole way he never mentions the Arkenstone is a bit tough, but he also realizes Thorin is not rational about it. (edited) 2y

dabbe Hello, sweet kitty! 🖤🐾🖤 2y

JazzFeathers What's right and what's wrong? That's to the core of Tolkien's philosophy. And I'm puzzled that so often it is said that there is a stark division between good and evil in Tolkien's work, because l find the exact opposite to be true: the relationship between Good and Evil is very complex and misty. And Bilbo's behaviour in this chapter is a perfect example. 2y

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.

The Hobbit | J.R.R. Tolkien

In 2017 some of us started a #ChapterADay #readalong of The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings that turned into a multi-year journey through several books by Tolkien, the entire History of Middle-Earth, & his published letters. On July 18, we‘re starting a reread of the 3 main works.

Comment here or on the post by @JazzFeathers if you‘re interested in joining us! I‘ll be collecting a tag list from these 2 posts.

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) 3y

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) 3y

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.. 😊 3y

Larkken @RaeLovesToRead This was curtailed severely by needing to be physical books present on my shelves! That made it easier lol 3y

IndoorDame Ooh, yes! I should definitely take Alice 3y

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! 3y

Larkken @5feet.of.fury oooh is this the one where they FINALLY got together? Agreed, that IS nice 3y

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) 3y

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.

I‘ll probably listen to the audio for the most part during this readalong, but I also love the annotated edition of The Hobbit. In chapter 1, “An Unexpected Party,” there are several different illustrations featuring Bilbo & Gandalf. These 2 are from the 1975 Romanian edition & the 1962 Portuguese edition.

gossamerchild I own this copy of The Hobbit and I adore it. 3y

Daisey @gossamerchild Agreed! It‘s fantastic! 3y

JazzFeathers There are so many, unusual illustrations in the Annotated Hobbit. I find it refreshing, because it seems as if Peter Jackson visuals have taken over any imagination of Middle-earth in the last couple of decades. 3y

Daisey @JazzFeathers Yes, it really is my favorite part of the annotated version. 3y

I spent that last year and 1/2 in illness, but I never stopped reading. Recently, I decided to listen to Tolkein‘ books. The audiobook is very enjoyable and well done. I highly recommend it. #reread #bookworm #fantasy
