Walking From Hobbiton to Rivendell
No pictures of WIPs yet, I was asleep most of the day, but just wanted to mention that I have decided to join the Hobbiton to Rivendell walking challenge. Some very dedicated Tolkien fans have figured out that it is 458 miles from Hobbiton to Rivendell and even where you would approximately be after a certain number of miles. For example, yesterday I walked a little over three miles and that put me over the plank bridge over the water. I am including general walking and not just planned walks, so haven't figured out where I would be yet today.

2016 Reading Challenge
This year, I have decided to join the 2016 Reading Challenge. I haven't started yet, because I don't want to reread anything and I don't have any new books to read in the house. Here is the list and I will hopefully be updating it as I go:
A book based on a fairy tale
A National Book Award winner
A YA bestseller
A book you haven’t read since high school
A book set in your home state (province)
A book translated to English
A romance set in the future
A book set in Europe
A book that is under 150 pages
A New York Times bestsellers
A book that is becoming a movie this year
A book recommended by someone you just met
A self improvement book
A book you can finish in a day
A book written by a celebrity
A political memoir
A book at least 100 years older than you
A book that is more than 600 pages (will need to figure out the audiobook equivalent, thinking 45 hours).
A book from Oprah’s Book Club
A science fiction novel
A book recommended by a family member
A graphic novel
A book published in 2016
A book that has a protagonist with your occupation.
A book that takes place during summer
A book and its prequel
A murder mystery
A book written by a comedian
A dystopian novel
A book with a blue cover
A book of peotry
The first book you see in a bookstore
A classic from the 20th century
An autobiography
A book about a road trip
A book about a culture you are unfamiliar with
A satirical book
A book that takes place on an island
A book that is guaranteed to bring you joy
I think the first book will be an audiobook of The Hunger Games, since I can listen to the audiobook on YouTube. I plan to post again tomorrow of my current knitting WIPs.
