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! 😍 😍 😍 3mo

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

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

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 had lots of reading buddies today (not all pictured). My kiddos cat “Catrat”(Gabby‘s Dollhouse) was the most photogenic, and Gandalf just wanted to sleep. Ugh the spiders.. Bilbo proved his usefulness, Bombur was having a hard time this chapter, and Thorin was separated from the group. Cliffhanger chapter for sure! #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapterADay @Daisey @JazzFeathers

dabbe Look at dose sweet kitties! 🖤🐾🐾🖤 And 😱 to the 🕷️'s in this chapter. #mostdefinitenightmare 1y

JazzFeathers What adorable kitties you have 😻😻😻 1y

Here is my Gandalf with The Hobbit. He is showing off his ridiculously tolerant self. And also pushing the boundaries because he knows he isn‘t allowed on the table but I‘m tolerating him being on the pile of comics 😆

He is not a particularly wise cat, but he is a gray and white escape artist. #LotRChapterADay #FellowshipofTolkien

Roary47 Love it! Hi Gandalf! 😻 1y

dabbe Hello there, Gorgeous Gandalf! 🖤🐾🖤 1y

Daisey Our group has quite the collection of cats named Gandalf. I didn‘t realize it was such a popular choice. 1y

RaeLovesToRead Adorable! 💕 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @Daisey Right?! 😂 Where are our Bilbo cats, our Fili & Kili bonded pairs? 1y

JazzFeathers I've counted three Galdalf kitties at least 😂 l wanted to call my cat Samwise, but my sister (who is a co-fur-mama) didn't want to hear of it. He's now Gino 😂 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @JazzFeathers Oh no! These cat co-parents and their bad taste! 😂 I wanted to call my tortie Winifred Sanderson, but my husband didn‘t like it so she‘s Magrat instead. 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

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.
