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! 😍 😍 😍 7mo

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! 🩶🧡🩶 7mo

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.

A mid-day rain shower sent me home early so I could finish the first chapter of The Hobbit before this evening. Gandalf curled up in the hammock with me while I read.

This first chapter introduces most of our main characters and includes some Dwarvish music. I enjoyed every part of it from the famous first line to all the food and chaos to the poetry at the end. Bilbo has no idea what he‘s in for!

IndoorDame Awww 🥰 that‘s the cutest Gandalf ever! The first chapter was super nostalgic. 2y

BookwormAHN Gandalf is adorable and I enjoyed the first chapter while taking a walk this afternoon 😺 2y

Born.A.Reader Can't wait to start when I get home from work! 2y

dabbe Back in the shire again, my favorite place in Middle Earth. And hello there, gorgeous Gandalf! 🖤🐾🖤 2y

majkia I'm listening to the audio. So far, so good. 2y

Daisey @IndoorDame @BookwormAHN @dabbe Gandalf appreciates all the compliments! He had to put up with the beagle joining us shortly after this. 2y

Daisey @Born.A.Reader Enjoy! It‘s such a great first chapter. 2y

Daisey @BookwormAHN @majkia If you‘re listening to audio, which narrator? I have the one read by Rob Inglis and keep telling myself I do not need to buy the Andy Serkis version, but I‘m not sure I‘ll be able to hold out. 2y

BookwormAHN The one with Andy Serkis and it's amazing 😻 2y

Vansa I almost got a little teary when I read that first line! I had forgotten how funny The Hobbit is 2y

BethM @Vansa me too! 2y

Larkken I had forgotten about the interaction between Gandalf and bilbo!!! “Do you wish me a good morning wether I want it or not” i may be turning into a crotchety Gandalf myself… 2y

Light_of_Aether I watched the first hobbit movie (2012) last week and I found it interesting how things were changed from the book to the movie. Thorin in the book is much more talkative than movie Thorin. I wonder what kind of cakes they're eating? They can't be full-sized sheet cakes or round birthday cakes, right? 2y

BookwormAHN @Light_of_Aether I always pictured them as some kind of pound cake. 2y

TheBee Your cat looks like my childhood cat Paulette. I loved her dearly. I was thinking if she was born again, I can tell she‘s living her best life with you 😉❤️. 2y

JazzFeathers @Daisey @BookwormAHN @majkia Please, sto talking about Andy Serkis. I need to pay for my new laptop. Please don't put this kind of thing to the attention of my brain 🙈 2y

JazzFeathers @TheBee Awwww 😻 2y

JazzFeathers @Larkken Gandalf and Bilbo's interactions are fantastic! Gandalf from The Hobbit us such a difference character from Gandalf in LotR. But l love both of them 😜 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @Light_of_Aether Seed cake appears to be a kind of loaf cake. Maybe the cakes are slices of things I would call quick bread, which are basically cake, but the healthy version (like banana bread and zucchini bread). 2y

Light_of_Aether @BookwormAHN @Clare-Dragonfly The cakes in both of your comments sound tasty, and if I was Bilbo I'd be very unhappy if I didn't get to eat them, too! (edited) 2y

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

The Hobbit | J.R.R. Tolkien

When I read The History of the Hobbit with the #FellowshipOfTolkien we discovered tha Tolkien initially planned to make Thorin King Under the Mountain - before the theme of the dragon-sickness emerged.

I'm kind of sorry that didn't happened, because Thorin is such an incredible character.
But then, part of what makes him such a great character is the dragon-sickness arc.

I can always feel Bilbo's sadness when Thorin dies.
