We read it the first time on our honeymoon 10 years ago!  I was able to pay much better attention the second time through&#8230; Over the years we have read many books out lout, it has become a hobby of sorts and something we like to do together.  I keep a list on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/233696-jill?shelf=read-out-loud&#038;view=table\">goodreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I have discovered that I am one of those people who pay attention better when I am doing something with my hands.  Mainly, I crochet when Ben reads.  This time, I took to drawing.  I am no artist when it comes to drawing, but have found it to be somewhat an outlet with creative juices.  It&#8217;s rather ridiculous, but if you are a good fan of the book you might be able to follow.  Also, keep in mind that I was listening, so you have to forgive my spelling errors!<\/p>\n<p>Ben now thinks I should put ALL the pages in.  It&#8217;s a bit embarrassing, but OK!<\/p>\n<p>From Ben:  Jill was also jotting down band names as we went, so if you encounter some weird phrases in her drawings that&#8217;s why.  My favorite so far is &#8220;My Cousin Radagast&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit1-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Hobbit1\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit1-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit1-1024x790.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit2-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Hobbit2\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit2-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit2-1024x790.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit3-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Hobbit3\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit3-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit3-1024x790.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit4-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Hobbit4\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit4-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hobbit4-1024x784.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just finished reading The Hobbit for the 2nd time.
