Book of the year

A new thing this year, we are doing a book of the year. Why? Because it may take me a year to read it :). This is the unabridged version 1400-some odd pages. But I have read that this is one of the best books ever written. "A great tale of revenge and adventure." We have a year to read and it can be done!!

January book of the month

It is time for a classic. The Hobbit By JRR Tolkien, is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is a book that I wish I would have read in school but for some reason this wasn't on my reading lists. Plus I hear that there is a movie in the works.
This is the story of Bilbo Baggins adventures with Gandalf the Grey.It also introduces Gollum who is the one with the ring until Bilbo gets it.
