The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

 

I finally went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. You have to see this movie in the the theater to get the full experience. This movie was even better than the first on. I highly recommend seeing these movies. I know that most movies like this don't appeal to everyone, but I would suggest you give them a chance. If you like them check out The Lord of the Rings movies as well. The Hobbit came before the Lord of the Rings but they can both stand alone. The Hobbit tells you how the one ring was found and The Lord of the Rings tells you what happened to the ring after it was found.

Minimalist Book Covers

These are a few of my favorite minimalist book covers. I realized when I was looking through these that there are far more minimalist posters for movies than book covers. Which is really sad in my opinion. I love the minimalist look on things. It would be cool, if when the author released the book with it's original artwork and then a few years down the road want to put it out again with new artwork, they should do minimalist. It just looks really cool.

What's in a Series?

So I was thinking about doing a post about my favorite series of books (which I have a lot of). I'm also thinking that it might have to be in two parts. I have such a large number of series of books that I have read and that I'm currently reading, that I'm not sure where to start. I think I'll start off with the ones that I've finished so far. I'll also post an overview of the first book in each series. So you can decide if you would like to read it or not :)
