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

Bitter and sweet. Sad and amusing.
Fantastic, as always.

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 honestly don‘t remember this part with Beorn. I loved the humor of two dwarves at a time being introduced to him as the story went on. 😂 I also remember when Gandalf left them for the most dangerous part of the journey coming up. My Gandalf is actively clearing out my bookmarks (from other books) so I can get new ones. 😅 (His other paw is at his chin).😉 #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapterADay @Daisey @JazzFeathers

"Very well then, we must just tighten our belts and trudge on or we shall be made into supper, and that will be much worse than having none ourselves."

Quite so!

I'm so excited #LOTRChapterADay is restarting.
All are welcome to join. Please see @JazzFeathers post for details. The Hobbit is first and starts on July 18th 🐉

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.
