The elves are awesome, the men are pretty cool, but the hobbits? They are INCREDIBLE. Their courage, their loyalty, their determination, their friendships, I love them all! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-23190401266318079952015-11-17T20:24:30.741-05:002015-11-17T20:24:30.741-05:00Sam gets better and better as you go along.

I might would enjoy them better and actually stick with them that way. Because that was my struggle with LOTR before now. I couldn't seem to stick with them.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-21679768026423861742015-11-17T19:42:02.798-05:002015-11-17T19:42:02.798-05:00I couldn't wait for you to find out, Hamlette!...I couldn't wait for you to find out, Hamlette!

I hoped I wasn't annoying everyone with them. :)<br /><br />I would definitely recommend the Lord of the Rings. Tolkien is an amazing writer.<br /><br />Double yay for Amber! :D<br /><br />Thank you for the sweet words and encouragement!

He is definitely climbing the ranks of my favorite characters. And I still have The Return of the King to listen to! Who knows how full he'll make my heart in that one. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-51529151000349988542015-11-17T19:31:25.673-05:002015-11-17T19:31:25.673-05:00Jenny: Agreed!

Seriously, book-Sam is amazing.<br /><br />As you now see, I have been playing catch up aplenty! Now that my reviews are getting there, I need to click over to my friends blogs and catch up with y'all. :)<br /><br />Winter is AMAZING!! I don't know if you've read it yet? But I loved it. LOVED IT! It is deserving of all caps in my opinion! :DKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-28385892459692923472015-11-07T17:20:35.398-05:002015-11-07T17:20:35.398-05:00Great to hear that you've been reading and enj...Great to hear that you've been reading and enjoying LOTR! I've just recently discovered audiobooks, but I totally believe they just work better for some books, maybe for classics in particular, as in our busy lives we might not always find the time to really sit down and dig into a classic work.<br /><br />Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-3430461242473793602015-11-05T08:18:38.618-05:002015-11-05T08:18:38.618-05:00Sam IS the best, and you are going to keep right o...Sam IS the best, and you are going to keep right on loving him :-) So exciting that you're making your first journey through LOTR!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-26961540292831310842015-11-01T18:54:03.815-05:002015-11-01T18:54:03.815-05:00I love this post and I love your blog :) <3I love this post and I love your blog :) <3anna (an abundance of grace)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05786612429876589668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-76519863224752575202015-10-30T14:17:34.764-04:002015-10-30T14:17:34.764-04:00Love all the updates and you know I'm jumping ...Love all the updates and you know I'm jumping up and down for the Tolkien radness :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463977985232229217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-85850477394677263982015-10-29T10:51:54.112-04:002015-10-29T10:51:54.112-04:00What joy!
