Samwise gamgee carrying his pots and pans to Mordor endsss mee like there's no one like you bbg

“What do you fear, lady?” he asked.
“A cage,” she said.

My lady!!!

He shook his head, as if finding words useless, and murmured: "I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no."

happy pride babes<3

"That would not be the way of return that I should choose," said Gimli. "But I will endure Fangorn, if I have your promise to come back to the caves and share their wonder with me."

I love them smmm!!!

Elves of any kind are strange folk. Yet you comfort me. Where you go, I will go. But keep your bow ready to hand, and I will keep my axe loose in my belt.

Gimli is sooo babygirlll

"Not without Sam? Yes, without even his Sam. That’s hard, cruel hard."

insanneeeee

his writing feels so smooth, it flows like poetry and despite reading so much fantasy (derivitative of his work), it feels fresh. I don't even remember when an important character's death felt terrible and ominous instead of predictible and trite.

‘No indeed!’ said Elrond, turning towards him with a smile. ‘You at least shall go with him. It is hardly possible to separate you from him, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not.’

I'm not saying anything, Elrond is your honour

‘You were very fond of Bilbo were you not?’ he asked.
‘Yes,’ answered Frodo. ‘I would rather see him than all the towers and palaces in the world.’

"It’s not just the burden of continually lying, it’s keeping your existence a secret. When the world has decided that people are supposed to be a certain way, but you’re living proof to the contrary, then hiding your differences is just helping everybody else erase who you are."

She articulates the weight of secrecy so well honestly, excellent book<3

jacobs' writing style is blessed truly. the way this book goes so hard

do y'all have suggestions for 12 books in 12 months I should read? also how was everyone's reading year in 2023?

I have known the depths to which mortals are capable of descending, and I have seen the heights. I have seen how kindness and compassion may grow in the unlikeliest of places, as the mountain flower forces its way through the stern rock.

this is so soft? also magical uni students not knowing what to do with their life hits too close

"like a girl" is used as an insult 5 times in this book and sometimes by women. stick to writing men indeed

had the potential to be so good but constantly failing bc the book is so entrenched in toxic masculinity and misogyny

I guess hearts are slippery because they’re covered in blood. I wish I could bleed mine dry. Then I’d miss you less

"Since when did she find full-figured women sexy" im sorry what. Claire doesn't even deserve women idcc

am i supposed to ignore the constant classism or supposed to believe this character is a good therapist lmao

"if I couldn't believe in him, who could I believe in the first place" kdj makes me insane i cannot

soo good im losing my mind!!!

baru hasn't had a single happy thought till now praying for both of us🙏🏼

hii!! I'm creating a bookstagram account @literaturecompilations and I'd love to follow cool people so please tell me your accounts?

very much has the vibe of books that start getting better on the third book? i'm getting through it pretty fast but the writing seems to leave a lot to be desired

this has been truly disappointing uptill now? intriguing moments but so banal hope it'll get better

seth really did not even wait before the soul crushing, these first two chapters...
