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! 🩶🧡🩶 3mo

This is my favorite version of The Hobbit. Andy Sekis is a brilliant narrator, and he makes the riddle game just so much more fantastic.
I'm so glad we restarted this. I love these rereads 💚 Thanks for hosting @JazzFeathers @Daisey

AnnR Last year I listened to the entire LOTR series on audio, with Serkis narrating. I agree; He is amazing!!! 1y

Daisey I listened to quite a bit of his live reading of The Hobbit before he officially recorded them, and it was fantastic. Sometime I will have to listen to all his versions. 1y

Andrew65 Sound an excellent choice for an audiobook. Well done 👏👏👏 1y

JazzFeathers I'm so envious! I need to get all of his audiobooks. I've come across a snippet from the Silmarillion the other day and he gave me goosebumps! @Daisey 1y

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.

Andrew65 Best of luck 😁 1y

I caught up on “Flies and Spiders” and “Barrels Out of Bond” this evening. I always appreciate seeing how much Bilbo grows in these chapters. He shows great stealthiness, ingenuity, and courage to rescue the dwarves.

Bklover I‘m so sorry, @Daisey - you can remove me from the list. I really want to do this at some point, but I just can‘t right now! Too much coming up in August. Thanks so much for hosting this❤️❤️ (edited) 1y

dabbe And the dwarves are finally realizing what an asset Bilbo is! Gandalf ain't a wizard for nothin'! 🪄 1y

Daisey @Bklover No worries at all, and if you want to jump back in at any point just let us know. 1y

Daisey @dabbe so true! 1y

JazzFeathers I'm only catching up 🥴 I love seeing Bilbo grow. It's a slow, natural growth. Though l wonder whether it is really a grow, or rather a revelation of his whole self. 1y

BarbaraJean I‘m so impressed by Bilbo‘s adeptness at coming up with solutions and getting the dwarves out of all kinds of difficulties. And more impressed at his willingness to do so, after they placed such a low value on his contributions—that overheard conversation after escaping from the goblins! @dabbe Yes! It‘s nice to see him finally get his due appreciation! 1y

BarbaraJean @JazzFeathers That‘s a great point, that this adventure is drawing out/revealing more of who he really is. Gandalf saw what was already there, and now the circumstances are proving out who Bilbo is. 1y

Roary47 I‘m currently on track, but I start work back up on Monday. 😬 1y

Light_of_Aether I'm at the beginning of chapter 3 😬. I was able to borrow the Andy Serkis version from Hoopla last night and it's soooo good. I'll probably catch up quickly now 1y

Chrys I am one chapter behind, but should be able to catch up pretty quickly 1y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m right where you are, sitting in the lodge…with just 2 visitors 😂 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m only a little behind but I predict falling further behind in the next few days 😅 I have a book club meeting on Friday night and I‘m only 46% through that book so I need to focus! 1y

BarbaraJean Most nights it‘s a matter of trying to decide which buddy read to fall behind on 😆 1y

BookwormAHN I'm a little behind too 1y

TheAromaofBooks I'm a little behind, and glad for the scheduled catch-up week 😂 1y

Daisey I‘m in the middle of chapter 8 and getting ready to read this evening. 1y

Daisey @BarbaraJean This sounds about right! I am slowly working on catching up on Clarissa, but when I‘m tired most nights this is the one I read instead. 1y

JazzFeathers Looks like so many of us are a little behind. Courage, my friends! 💪😜 @Light_of_Aether I'm so envious! But one day, l'll get all of Serkis's audiobooks 😈 @BarbaraJean 😂😂😂😂 1y

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 Annotated Hobbit | John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Douglas A. Anderson

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.
