Still on my Mind is a meme created by
YA-Aholic to feature a book
that you read months or even YEARS ago that was so good (or so
scary/unique/funny..etc) that it is '
Still on my (your) Mind!'
This week the book that is still on my mind is...
Goodreads Synopsis:
In a hole in the
ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with
the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole
with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and
that means comfort.Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit
met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937.
Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit
Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of
Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful
and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text
in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in
Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on
the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001). Unforgettable!
Why this is still on my mind?
This probably shows how nerdy I am, but I love the Hobbit. It was one of the only summer reading books that I actually adored when I was younger. At that point I did not know if was a Prequel, I was just reading an awesome adventure. Biblo is adorable and there are wizards and dragons. I was amazed that such a wonderful fantasy could be on a school summer reading list. <3 this book.
What's still on your mind?!
