"...it is better to have a mouthful of poison than a secret of the heart. Any fool will spit out poison...but we #hoard these painful treasures. We swallow hard against them every day, forcing them deep inside us. They they sit, growing heavier, festering. Given enough time, they cannot help but crush the heart that holds them." #QuotsyMay18

GatheringBooks i really really want to read this series but am holding out til the last book is finally out. 😭 6y

The word #hoard tends to make me think of dragons hoarding treasure, specifically Smaug in The Hobbit and Glaurung in The Silmarillion and Children of Hurin.

JazzFeathers Good one 😆👍 6y

Daisey @JazzFeathers @tpixie Thanks! A few times I‘ve considered trying to do as many days of these quote challenges as possible using only Tolkien, but I don‘t have the time to figure it out. Maybe if I had all of them in searchable ebook format, but most of my copies are paperbacks. 6y

JazzFeathers @Daisey @tpixie @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Maybe we could do a little challenge next summer, when we'll all have more time. Maybe just one week, rather then a month. Or maybe we could do something similar for next year's Tolkien Reading Day 6y
tpixie @JazzFeathers @daisey sounds fun! What a challenge! 6y
Daisey @JazzFeathers @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I think a quote/photo challenge next year during March, either the whole month or a week or two around Tolkien Reading Day would be a great idea! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JazzFeathers @Daisey Sounds like fun to me! And you realize, if we continue with the whole of The History of and then read the new release, one each month, we‘d be finishing up next March anyway. 😱😂 6y
JazzFeathers @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Daisey l'd say that's the best reason for doing it!!!! 🙌💪By the way, gals, are we going to do something special for the release of The Fall of Gondolin? 6y

One of the key plot points of my favourite Dickens is the possibility of a secret #hoard of riches that may or may not be hidden in the dust heaps of the late miser John Harmon. #quotsymay18 @TK-421

Sarah83 Had to smile, when I read 'Holmes'. 😂 6y
Moray_Reads @Sarah83 it only means one thing to me too 😉 Did you know that the biggest police investigation database in the UK is called HOLMES2? 6y
Sarah83 Really? No I didn't know that. 😂😂 6y

Moray_Reads @Sarah83 it stands for Home Office Large Major Enquiry System. I get the feeling they forced it a bit to make the acronym fit! 6y
Sarah83 It really seems like that. ❣️ So the consulting detective has his own database. 😂 Really nice. Sherlock would be overwhelmed by his ego. 😉 6y
Moray_Reads @Sarah83 he'd make scornful fun of it but be secretly pleased, I think 6y
Sarah83 The classic Holmes yes, but the newest BBC Holmes would write a SMS to everyone he knows. I am thinking about this scene in the TV adaption with the lady in pink. 😉 6y
Moray_Reads @Sarah83 that would be great, they should have put it in the series. Imagine poor Lestrade having to deal with that 6y
Sarah83 I think he couldn't deal with Holmes' arrogance because of that very long. 😂 6y
