I'm excited to announce that today is the day that I'll be reading this book with a friend of mine! :pinkie:
I've always wanted to finish the trilogy and honestly.... I've shamefully fallen behind on reading this year due to all of the real life stuff going on :awwthanks:
But with a friend to help keep me in check, there shall be no excuses! I will be pestering them every single day to ensure we're both doing some reading together as we've both fallen behind :laugh:
3:00pm today I shall start and post my thoughts on such chapters today.

Yay to friendship and keeping each other in check!!!

I should have done something like this with my fimfic reading in the past. I've watched the movies many years ago, I hope you enjoy!

@Princess Silky

We very well could think of ideas, yeah!

Whoa, you just reminded me of something...

We were supposed to do a collaboration together but we never got around to it due to how chaotic life got for us all
@.@ 

Here was the small group of us

I remember everyone being eager to get started on their writing but it kinda just... yeah.. life happened :laugh:

I'm thinking of tagging said friend I'm doing this challenge with... but I dunno if he might be too shy. So we'll just keep it on the down low for now :toldya:
Then... we show him the magic of friendship by tackle hugging when he's ready :laugh:

Oh nooo!

Anything but art of that :laugh:

And here are my thoughts regarding chapter 1 since I finished it ;-;

Spoiler

I always had a nostalgic feeling about the beginning of The Lord of The Rings. Very idyllic atmosphere of the Shire always gets me, even those pesky Sackville-Bagginses who may be complete jerks, but ultimately are harmless jerks, because people like them have little to no power in the Shire. Hobbits's love for nature and "things that grow" is what I share, simple life they have... sometimes You can't help, but *want* to live there. In fact to me Shire and Ponyville have almost the same vibes in them :eager: Small, happy and mostly wholesome communities, where worries are small, but peace infinite ;-;

In this book, this peaceful period - description of Shire, Bag End, Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday party is what makes later events so intense to me. I, as a reader know what the fight is for. If Frodo fails in his quest there will be no more Shire. No more laughter. The stakes are high, personal and You get a little taste of them before embarking for that journey. 

I wish movie had dwarves coming along with Gandalf and his cart loaded to the brim with fireworks. But then movie still gave away plenty of his playfulness instead so that's a nice exchange to me! :squee:

Overall what a fun chapter it is. It was so perfect that I've read it yesterday, a nice, wholesome summary of my own very beautiful day!
