if a girl is reading a really interesting book she shouldn’t have to go to work. she’s expanding her mind and bettering herself and her employers should understand that

Gandalf was shorter in stature than the other two; but his long white hair, his sweeping beard, and his broad shoulders, made him look like some wise king of ancient legend. In his aged face under great snowy brows his eyes were set like coals that could suddenly burst into fire.

Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny

A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language. 

another hilarious example:

my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is

to the uneducated it may seem like hobbits are the only funny bitches, and gandalf just picked it up from them.

to the learned, it is known that gandalf is the first ever funny bitch, and he has taught generations of hobbits every petty snark they’ve ever known because theyre the only motherfuckers who can keep up with him

So I just got the notification about Spotify now having audiobooks, and not to have a knee jerk reaction and shoot from the hip, but don’t give Spotify your money. Download Libby and use it if you have a library card. If you don’t have a library card, as a librarian I feel inclined to tell you to go to your local library and get one! They are almost always the low price of free. Libby is also the low price of free. Don’t keep throwing money in the Spotify pit.

If you’re a person aged 13-21, I also just want to plug the Brooklyn Library’s Books Unbanned project where you can get a free eCard, because it’s such a cool program. Anyway. I’ve typed all this in like five minutes and am going to get a snack. Don’t keep giving Spotify your money when you can support your local institutions who will get you this stuff for free

professor lupin is this lonely and troubled man, also a teacher, with them grey hairs, sort of dangerous, with a “slightly hoarse voice”, lots of wolf metaphors, i’m just saying that jk rowling can’t have made him the sexiest character in hp unintentionally

also the first time we see him he’s holding a fireball idk why this adds to the sexiness but i sort of think it does
