Welcome to Litsy!

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?

#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

Left work a little early, so I could have lunchtime #CoffeeAndABook before my therapy appointment - cold brew (it‘s warm out! over 50 degrees! 😆) and a caprese egg sandwich while Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves try to get out of yet another dangerous situation

Anyone else prepping for Hobbit Day!

I saw it on Pinterest and decided this was the holiday I needed. Banana bread for first breakfast in the morning.

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

Cooking dinner and trying to catch up (still a chapter behind!), when munchkin crawled into my lap on the deck for mama to read about the dragon :) ❤️

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.

Bilbo gets into trouble with trolls! Naturally, Gandalf is awesome again. This scene is one of my favorites because the trolls are trying to figure out Bilbo and Bilbo is trying to figure out how to get out of a tough situation. #LofRChapterADay #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers

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.

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.)
