The Hobbit

This month for our book club we are reading the Hobbit! When I was about 12 it was my favorite book ever. I would pour over the pages almost on a daily basis..I can even still remember what the book cover looked like. However..do you think I can remember a word of the story? Not a jot! It is literally like reading it for the very first time...ever! I was telling Adam about my mental blank as Ethan was listening. His very honest take on the situation was. "Mum you do know that you read that when you were 12..how on earth do you expect to remember something from two of my life times ago? You know you struggle to even remember each of your children's names now!" He sauntered off totally unaware of the emotional damage he had done to me! So tonight I am jumping into bed with a copy of the Hobbit, hoping I remember what I read when I wake up tomorrow :) I picked up from a second hand book shop, I don't like new copies of books..Adam thinks I am totally weird. I simply prefer books that have a little user history..try explaining that one to him
