The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I haven’t tried to read the LOTR series because I’m afraid I’ll get confused. I should try. The Hobbit is delightful, full of delicious details and absolutely warms my heart with all the ingredients that good fantasy offers: the triumph of good in hard times (with made up worlds and creatures). My husband read this book out loud on our two month family road trip and I have such lovely memories of it.
