#HobbitReread only one chapter today: Chapter V, Riddles in the dark.
Bilbo finds the ring. This moment does hit different when you know the whole story, huh! There's more foreshadowing than I thought there would be, too.
#HobbitReread progress: up to chapter 4, the company gets captured by goblins, saved by Gandalf, and Bilbo gets bonked on the head and left behind.
Yep, this writing style is much more comfortable than Silm. 😂 Duh, it's written for children. #lotr #tolkien #jrrt
Is it possible? Am I, after more than two years, returning to my Tolkien reread?!

(The goal is to read Silm, Hobbit, and LOTR, which I have last read approx. 15 years ago) #LOTR #jrrtolkien #jrrt #HobbitReread
An offset to the end-of-term, #grading blues was finishing my #HobbitReRead over the weekend. Delightful as always.
The true unsung hero, of course, was the thrush.
Now I'm finishing my #UnfinishedTales #ReRead. I'd totally forgotten that the Blue Wizards, who were lost in Rhûn, had names in Valinor.
If only we had their stories.

One of my all-time favorite #book chapters is #RoastMutton in #TheHobbit. I think it's because the scene was so vivid & creepy in the #RankinBass cartoon (when I was 4).
Anyway, that's where I ended up last night in my #HobbitReRead.
Started a #ReRead of #TheHobbit last night. Fell soundly asleep during Thorin's monologue.
