Book Review: Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

*There Will Be Spoilers*

I finished this book yesterday. And let me tell you, it was incredible! I loved it! Probably my favorite out of the series!
This is the ending of the One Ring and the beginning of Aragorn's reign.
This did have some battles in it. Quite a bit more than the first two. And there is a part when Gollum bites off Frodo's finger, which was kind of gross.
In the end, Frodo has to leave with Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and others, to the Gray Havens. The saddest thing in the whole entire story!
By the end of the story, I cried. If you read these books, and are really close to them and the characters, you just might cry, too :P
I definetly recommend this book! It's amazing! Have you read the book? Any thoughts on the book? Comment down below!

Book Review: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

                                                        *There Will be Spoilers*

 I finished this book Friday! I L.O.V.E.D. it! I think I like it even better than the first!

The Two Towers starts with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas searching for Pippin and Merry. The whole part III is about them. (Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Pippin and Merry, and Gandalf.)
This book does have a little more violence in it than the first one did. But to me, that made it all the more interesting.
A favorite part of mine would be when Pip and Merry meet Treebeard. Treebeard is basically a talking, walking tree.
In part IV we meet again with Frodo and Sam. I REALLY enjoyed part IV! You get to (for a while) meet a better side of Gollum (a.k.a. Smeagol). It shows that deep down, I think, that he really would like to be nice, but with the temptation of his Precious (the Ring) it just doesn't happen. He leads them to the Black Gate of Mordor, and then tells them they shouldn't go that way, that he has a secret way. But truthfully, all though his secret way might work, he led them this way, to trap them. To give them to Shelob a giant spider, whom he had promised food. She stings Frodo, while Sam is fighting Gollum. Sam, beliving Frodo is dead takes the rings and trys to go to Mt. Doom alone. He then overhears some Orcs and puts on the ring, and follows them. He learns that Frodo isn't dead and the book basically ends here.
My favorite characters would have to be:
Aragorn, Legolas, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, Gandalf and Treebeard.
If you haven't read this book, I recommend that you do! It's amazing! I've starte The Return of the King and already love it! So look out for a review on that one maybe next weekend!



P.S. I see that my favicon is finally working :D

Book Review - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

  I finished reading this book yesterday! I have one word to describe it: AMAZING!! It is absolutely brilliant! J.R.R. Tolkien made no mistake when he wrote this book!
   It was full of action and had quite a few battle scenes. So, if you don't like reading about people getting stabbed or violence, then this is definetely not the book for you!
   But, it did hold tales of friendship, loyalty, and courage. For example, Frodo didn't exactly 'want' to take the ring to Mordor, but he knew he had to if Middle Earth was to ever be at peace again. And even though there are hard times in the book when he just felt like giving up, he persevered and went on.
   Sam held true to his promise that he wouldn't ever leave Frodo. He stuck with him through the good times and the bad.
   And Aragorn protected the little Hobbits from evil, when he could.
   There's also the fact that Frodo, Gandalf, Boromir, and all were tempted to take the ring and put it on. It shows that all are tempted in life.
   My favorite characters are:
   Frodo - He tries to be so brave. Who couldn't like him?
   Aragorn - I didn't like Strider at first, but soon came to love his character. He is loyal and true to the Fellowship.
   Merry and Pippin - They are quite a funny duo. Pippin can be so careless at times and isn't to bright. Where as Merry is smarter and has to sort of look out for him.
   Samwise Gamgee - He too, is very loyal. Especially to Frodo. He tries his best to protect him all throughout the book and won't let Frodo go anywhere without him. At the end of the book, when Frodo is leaving, Sam follows him (and risks his life doing so, because he can't swim and nearly drowned) and tells him that he made a promise to Gandalf, never to leave Frodo or let anything happen to him.
   This is one of my favorite books and I can hardly wait to start the Two Towers! I definetely recommend this book!
   Have you read the book? Any thought or comments on it? Tell me in the comments below!

Happy Easter!

   I know this post is a little overdue, but better late than never!

   I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I know I did! Getting to wear my favorite skirt and celebrating Christ's Resurrection was so much fun! I thought I would share with you all, what I got in my Easter basket:D

 First of all, I got some Sour Patch Kids, a vanilla bunny (I don't like the chocolate ones), some Mini M&M's, a Cadbury Egg, and a Hershey's Marshmallow Egg, Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape, and a blueberry Ring Pop!

I also received the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie! It was a complete surprise!

And I also got a Hobbit poster! I secretly knew about this, but my parents didn't know, until they gave it to me! ;)

Isn't it awesome!

                                        A close-up of Kili, my favorite dwarf;)

My favorite egg!



All of my eggs!

I hope you all have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday! And remember, it's not about the eggs, or the baskets, it's about what Jesus did for us! He was crucified 2000 years ago, to save us from eternal death!

Passion of the Christ Music Video

Since this Sunday is Resurrection Sunday, I made this video with clips from the Passion of the Christ and the song I See Love from the Passion of the Christ soundtrack.

I think deep down, we all know what Easter is really about. So when you're egg hunting or doing whatever it is you do on Easter, please, take some time to remember what Jesus did for you 2000 years ago.

*I own nothing in this video*

Until next time,

Movie Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I was blessed to be able to rent this movie yesterday! I've been so excited all weekend long! First I'll tell you all of my favorite characters:

My favorite was of course Bilbo Baggins! He's so awesome! Martin Freeman portayed him perfectly! The way he moved, his facial expressions, and the way he talked. It was 100% Bilbo!

My favorite dwarf is a tie between Ori and Bofur. Ori had a slingshot for a weapon, and I felt sorry for him when he tried to kill a warg with it and all the Orc did was laugh at him. Bofur was funny. I also like his accent.

But let's see, I forgot one dwarf. Kili :D He had a bow and arrows, and was very cool with them!

Now on to the review:D

I loved this movie so much! It was incredible! I liked how at the beginning Frodo had his little appearance! And how he said he was going to surprise Gandalf, when he arrived! Which is where The Fellowship of the Ring starts at.

My favorite scene in the movie would probably be Riddles in the Dark. It was amazing! They fit a lot of the same riddles in it from the book. I think Martin Freeman acted exceptionally well in this scene. Exactly how I thought Bilbo would act!

I do wish the Flies and Spiders scene was in this movie, but I guess I will have to wait for the next one to see that:)

It was really cool how the movie ended with Smaug's eye opening. Making you sit on the edge of your seat for a year.

I know I'll be going to see the next two in 3D!

What do you think of the movie? Tell me in the comments below!
'Til next time,
Your average girl who is obsessed with the Hobbit (aka Hannah)

I Had a Great Day!

   I had a great day yesterday. I went to Wal-Mart and found all sorts of Hobbit displays. I just had to take a few pictures ;D

On one shelf, (not this one) they had sold almost every single copy of the Hobbit movie! How cool is that?!

Gandalf and Bilbo:D

I also got a bag of my favorite candy! Starburst Jellybeans, FaveReds bag!

And as you know, I got my books in the mail!

Until next time,

Hannah
