Take a Look through our Lens
Reading a favorite book for the first time is such a unique experience. Even years later we tend to remember exactly where and when we were reading the book, even what the air smelled like. This was a fun topic that had us delving into some of those memories again.
Do you remember what books first captivated you? The ones that were your first along the road to becoming an avid reader or a book lover? We decided to take a look at some of the wonderful works that made us fall in love with reading. Each brings back such vivid memories, it was fun to think back on them.
This is such an excellent idea for this series. Thank you to That Artsy Reader Girl for continuing the tradition!
In many books, the hero is only as interesting as their antagonist. We love villains who are complicated and allow you to understand their view from time to time. Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for another great Top Ten Tuesday!

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
Though it was tough to narrow down, it was a fun list to compile. Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for another great prompt.
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J. R. R. Tolkien
February is a month packed with fantasy for both of us.
