Singing, gardening, baking, plushie making, cats (especially my fat Frida), travel, scrapbooking, star-gazing, volunteer work, and geeking out.
First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
Read it in my early teens (the first book in Spanish, mind you), but didn't get much from it. Last year, I finally read The Hobbit and am pumped to re-read the trilogy again!
Favorite Tolkien character:
I would have to say Frodo. His courage, and immense sense of self-sacrifice, even in the face of danger, paralysing fear and insanity really gets to me.
