I haven't started it thanks to you!
OK. I have too many groups, to many books, and a really fun video game to play. :(
So, how is it? I won't look at spoilers, just type away and I won't look until I read this section.
*sigh* Not very far, though. I was reading it on my Kindle app in my ipod, but I kinda had an incedent today with my ipod being in my pocket with some easter m&m's which eventually melted... coating it... and filling the charging/ihome socket with chocolate and broken candy shell.... so it was all sticky with chocolate and I couldn't charge it or put it on a stereo :( But somehow my dad fixed it by melting the chocolate that was in there and letting it drip out :)
But the good thing about this book is that it catches you from the start! I was hooked instantly. Bilbo is such an interesting character, and his laziness and reactions to some situations are hilarious! (STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, STRUCK BY LIGHTNING...)
The beginning makes me laugh still. It's so jolly and Bilbo gets mad and fatigued by the unexpected surprise of something he just doesn't want to do.
I like how the dwarves all want different foods so they're all being so rude by making him get it all for him! And then the part where they randomly break out in song... *laughs uncontrollably*
I also like how they just keep coming in! LOL! two dwarves come in then two more and etc. and still no Gandalf! They just march in without a care in the world!
I just like how Gandalf randomly asks him to come on an adventure! That's so FAIRYTALE! And vague... And awesome! I would totally go on an adventure with them!
I'll read that next! I got this other book from the library, but it STINKS! But apparently it's Stephen King's favorite book... I've read one of his short stories and I thought it was really good, so I had high expectations for this book, but I didn't like it. It's called Down The Rabbit Hole.
I've only read the first third of it, but the main character is really annoying and you're always a step ahead of her... She's practically clueless while you're screaming at her to figure it out already... sheesh...
We're supposed to talk about Hotel on the Corner of bitter and sweet.
But I thought that Connor was the only one who is reading it? Happy Easter, by the way :) (I just got to the part where the trolls tried to eat Bilbo and the dwarves!)
I started it. Happy Easter. The trolls are the second best part. :D
