[Kay]

Bhavik I feel like our FMA buddy read is going to span across a year XD

So guys, who are your favourite characters so far?

[Rusty]

Gandalf !!

[Kay]

Rusty wrote: "Gandalf !!"

He's just the most wittiest. I must say, my love for Bilbo just grows stronger.

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

@Jen : We need to read more of that too XD
Dammit this is not how I had it planned in my mind :p
Its like one of those bound to go sideways moment 😂

As of now fav character would be Sam and his curiosity

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

Also the best(?) part about LOTR is the fact that unlike other series this one has lesser pages with each book 😂

[Kay]

Bhavik wrote: "Also the best(?) part about LOTR is the fact that unlike other series this one has lesser pages with each book 😂"

Yes! As the action goes on the chapters get shorter. How are you enjoying it, Fuzaila and Rusty?

[Rusty]

This gets better with every chapter!! :D I'm loving the journey . But I wish it was winter here .

[Kay]

It's so good to relive all these chapters again. I love how grumpy and sassy Aragorn is and how loyal and brave Sam is. But I love all the characters!

[Fuzaila]

I haven't reached the Aragorn part yet. But I've met Tom Bombadil and he seems ..suspicious? But I'm enjoying it so far. Frodo might not be my favorite charcater yet but he's definitely lovable ;)

Haha! XD Tom Bombadil does seem suspicious at first. All the hobbits are loveable though, right?

[Rusty]

I'm at the Tom Bombadil part too . Surely , he does seem suspicious ....

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

Asfafa I an so behind! But I did see Bombadil in a poem I think. So I guess I am near too.
Jen is on the verge of completing book 1 XD

Also Jen, didnt you like just read this 2 months back? :p
Must be fun!

I didn't finish the book two months back - I kinda forgot I was reading it, so I just decided a reread would be good from the beginning.

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

Oh so thats how...is it still your 6th time then?

Also spoiler alert :x

[Kay]

Bhavik wrote: "Oh so thats how...is it still your 6th time then?

Ooh! Sorry!!! Yeah it's the 6th

[Fuzaila]

Ahaha yeah all the hobbits are definitely lovable. I mean, they're a different set of creatures altogether. Wonder how Tolkien came up with such an idea of Hobbits? I mean elves and wizards are like, mythical creatures we often talk about and Hobbits have joined the league too!

Okay so Tom Bombadil is supposed to be on the good side.. got that :P

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

Yeah...there's so much queer going on that the whole queer meaning has its meaning changed for me XD
I also somehow recollecting the scene from the movie which is surprising in itself!

Hey Fares!! You can join us again when your connection is available . And Jen is leading rn . I think she might be halfway already . XD Bhavik and me are almost on the same chapter . And Fuzaila might be a bit ahead of us .

Fares! How are you? Missed you buddy. I'm ahead currently but I've hit a bit of a slump! But we're doing well so far :) How are you?

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

@Fares/Ladykiller : Doing okay I guess...how about you?
Well there's no battle , everybody is busy and reading at their own pace...just the way it should be techincally :)
I am with you on the slow net...my net service provider is the most horrible thing on this planet :)
Also you'd think we'd loose awesomeness since you left eh? Fatty bolger much xD

Also you can join us asap as you can :D

@Rusty..I am done till chap 9..where you guys at?

You can join us whenever and still beat us Fares since none of is making much of a progress it seems :3 Except Jen ofcourse. I suspect she might already have finished it?

[Fuzaila]

I'm at chapter 10 and frankly some parts were boring, like when Tolkien tries to build up his world with too much descriptive stuff but otherwise okay.

(view spoiler)[
And uhh i think i might have the unfortunate luck to call myself a fool because that's how i feel about Frodo at times :3 even Pippin too. I appreciate how Sam is all suspicious and cautious about everything and also,, I might've already fallen for Aragorn aka Strider (hide spoiler)]

oh great...right before I was going to start chap 10..thanks XD
Also thanks for spoiling Strider is you know who *rolls eyes*
I had forgotten...my surprise has been taken away *cries*

Also yeah description is taxing and making me wanna fall asleep but I shall trudge through!
(view spoiler)[ Drunk people tend to do that xD But yeah Pipin and Frodo should have been careful (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

I hope you're kidding lol I put in that spoiler tag for a reason :P

Yess we shall overcome... someday 😂
(view spoiler)[ Probably. But I've yet to see Frodo making a wise decision all by himself (hide spoiler)]

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

No I was not you spoilery woman ;-;
Should have mentioned spoiler for chap 10 coz my curiosity killed the cat ;-;

We will 😂 but not today..for today we shall sleep like there's no morrow.
(view spoiler)[ pretty sure why gandalf has him tagged along by these guys 😂
Gandalf the wise knew what would have happened had he let him go alone (hide spoiler)]

Also guys I thought these guys were very young when they had their adventure..but to think they're in the 50s and 40s 😨

Haha thats the point.. curiousity kills, not me

Oh yeah I'm halfway there 😪
Lol (view spoiler)[Gandalf the wise yeah. Though I still haven't warmed up to him. He's no Dumbledore as I falsely hoped -.-
(hide spoiler)]

Hobbits live to be more than hundred so that's pretty young for them but not too young,, why would you think that??

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

But you do too :3

I am not reading FOTR today. Either of my other BR for now..or will probably doze off to sleep 😴
(view spoiler)[ Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost :P
Why would you think he's like that implied gayish asshole of fumbledore? XD
Although yeah Saruman x Gandalf ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The amount of slow mo flip hair we could do here xD
(hide spoiler)]

I was basing them on the movies which I last watched many many years ago when you were not even a teen :P
I didnt remember they lived for so long except for Bilbo having the the ring as philosopher's stone.
Also Elijah woods is an immortal youmg child so I had to fall on the trap

I don't have the book with me atm, I only have three books and I even read one of them twice XD so I still can't join and I don't know when I can.
Also since Jen is winning I'm ignoring team males and I'm rooting for team Africa all the way :)

[Rusty]
