Book three is still in the editing stages. As for book four, I wrote about 3/4 of it before I knew it wasn't working and am back at square one.

I managed to read a lot in 2016. I'm most excited that I finally read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I was really happy that I enjoyed them. I began reading LoTR when I saw The Fellowship of the Ring in the theater, but put it down not long after. It was in my things fifteen years before I picked it up again last December. I managed to finish reading LoTR right before the fifteenth anniversary of FoTR coming out in theaters. I used to always say my favorite character is Merry. I liked him as a character in the movies and I'm a Dominic Monaghan fan. Now that I've read the book, I know I'm a Pippin fan. Bilbo Baggins would be my favorite The Hobbit character. Taking The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings as a whole, my absolute favorite character is Gandalf.

If anyone reading this wants to brag about their favorite book and favorite characters, feel free to post about them in the comments.
