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

@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

“He was trembling with fear, but his little face was set and grim. Already he was a very different hobbit from the one that had run out without a pocket handkerchief from Bag-End long ago.

He had not had a pocket-handkerchief for ages.” 😄

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.

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

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

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.)

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.
