Did you see that I revoked my ruling on series names. They are not subtitles, so unfortunately your book won't fit. Sorry. I had made that ruling in another challenge and forgot about it.

[Kabrada]

Thanks for the heads-up!
It'll take me a while to get to Rivendell, so there is plenty of time to find another book. ;)

I am going to meander a little, probably visiting Tom Bombadil for a while and listen to his songs.
I guess I'll turn up in Bree when I am through with the current series. I just cannot start on another one while this one is unfinished.

[Margo]

You've picked a nice spot to linger Kabrada!

[Kabrada]

Looooooooong time no post, but I am back.

In the eight and a half months since my last post I have finished 76 books, none of which brought me even one single step closer to Bree.
But now I have found a short series of four books that I might enjoy and have uploaded the first one on my walkman. Time to get the walking boots out of storage, give them a little polish and march on!

Nice to see you back, Kabrada.

Should that not be Badge 1, Book 4? It looks to me like you've read 4 books for Badge 1.

[Kabrada]

Yes, I just noticed I should have put a 4 there and will correct it. Thanks for the heads-up!

That is Bree reached. I hope to make it to Rivendell but doubt I'll be able to go further.

Do what you can, one step/book at a time. You might surprise yourself.
