September 2015 Wrap Up

For the month of September, I've read 1 book. Another month were we didn't do so well.

Book #1: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest, facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Bilbo–alone and unaided–who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of an entire countryside...

I have owned this book for longer than I care to admit to, and have read it many many times. Probably ten to twelve times? My own copy is so well loved the cover is just about an ad for Scotch-tape and Index Cards. I love it. My friend and I decided to marathon all three of the movies because they were out on DVD and available at my local movie rental place. I have to say they did not do the book justice. I loved the original. It's one of my absolute favorite books in the world. I gave it a 5/5.
