It's that time of the year again!

I think this is gonna be a favorite!

I found this amazing mother and son narrating "A whale of the wild" on Youtube. It's so cute and wholesome!
(Btw I couldn't find this book anywhere in my country in any format. So that's why I'm reading it through Youtube. We have sanctions anyway, so it's not like I can support any of the authors I read.)

I'm really into this!

"Faith is the knowledge of the meaning of human life, whereby the individual does not destroy himself but lives. Faith is the force of life."

"No matter what answers a given faith might provide for us, every answer of faith gives meaning to the existence of man, meaning that is not destroyed by suffering, deprivation, and death."

Tolstoy believing this is really something!

Thanks to the elves for all their helpful gears!
(I want to give Sméagol a squeezing hug even when he acts all nasty.)

How do you not know your wife's blood type? 0.0

I really like the writing style.

Gandalf and Pippin are one of my favorite duos.

Poor Tolstoy...
He dealt with so much despair and anxiety.

"There, they are the first new thing under Sun or Moon that I have seen for many a long, long day. I shall not forget them. I have put their names into the Long List. Ents will remember it:
Ents the earthborn, old as mountains,
the wide walkers, water drinking:
and hungry as hunters, the Hobbit children,
the laughing-folk, the little people,
they shall remain friends as long as leaves are renewed. Fare you well!"

“Saruman, you missed your path in life. You should have been the king’s jester and earned your bread, and stripes too, by mimicking his counsellors.”

"Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council."

I love Gandalf <3

"Once I had come to doubt the faith of the writers, I began to observe its priests more closely and became convinced that nearly all the priests of this faith were immoral men,... but they were complacent and self-satisfied to a degree that can only be found either among people who are complete saints or among those who do not know what holiness is."

Each chapter makes me appreciate and respect Gandalf more.

"These hobbits will sit on the edge of ruin and discuss the pleasures of the table, or the small doings of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, and remoter cousins to the ninth degree, if you encourage them with undue patience."

Ahahaha. They sure do! :D

I like this so far. It's cute ^^.

"None knows what the new day shall bring him."
Aragorn.

"...They have passed like rain on the mountain,
Like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?"

'Do I not say truly, Gandalf,' said Aragorn at last, 'that you could go whithersoever you wished quicker than I? And this I also say: you are our captain and our banner. The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have One, mightier than they: the White Rider. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him. We will go where he leads.'
This was so real :) <3

!!!Spolier!!!

Now I understand how much I missed Gandalf's presence. He's back to prepare them all for war! Let's gooo!

New favorite character: Treebeard
He described Gandalf as the only wizard that really cares about trees. <3

Orcs in my audiobook sound terrifying! And I appreciate the efforts of Phil Dragash once more :)

I'm starting to like Gimli and Legolas more in this book.

Aragorn is just such a gentleman. :')

I kinda don't want to finish this. It's so wholesome and makes me feel like a child.

I can't say I'm enjoying this anymore...
