⭐ Tolkien Tuesday ⭐

Before LOTR, there was The Hobbit. Originally a children's story, it showcases Bilbo's journey away from The Shire to Rivendell and the Misty Mountains through the Mirkwood Forest before his journey ends at the Lonely Mountain. Along the way, he makes memories of a lifetime with Gandalf, dwarves, elves, and many more creatures.

Peter Jackson made it a movie trilogy, but it's only one book! It's cool to read and look for similarities to Frodo's journey years later.

Who all loves this Tolkien classic?
