Also, I totally forgot that Shelob was in the second book, so I was real confused when she showed up at the end. It’s insane to me that the battle of Helm’s Deep is only ten pages long, and yet it takes up half of the movie. This was so heartbreaking and wonderful, and I’m so, so glad I’ve finally read it. When Nathan first uttered that glorious line, I wish you all the best, Ben de Backer, my heart just about broke because SAME!

That fear of being out to people, of not knowing how they’ll respond, and of being so terrified that the love you hold for them and truly believe they hold for you might be snatched right out from under you–that was such a painful thing to see written out, but so close to my own heart, and it was amazingly done.

Anyway, there’s been so much wrapping up in the last few weeks, so ICYMI, here are my top five middle grades, top ten mild lie contemporaries and sequels, annnnnnnd (drum roll, please!) top ten reads of the year! I also wrapped up my 2020 goals, and stay tuned for tomorrow’s 2021 goals!

Lots of things are happening, apparently, but we’re here to talk about just December.
Oi, I’d almost take a Grey Havens ship into the West at this point.
