The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (Author) & Tove Jansson (Illustrator) The illustrations look wonderful!

In my current WIP I have 2 characters that I know are part of the LGBTQ+ community. I doubt the reader will make the link as I have no idea on how their personal life will affect their judgement or actions. If it comes up, it comes up. I'd deal with it then.

One of my favourite scenes

I'd lack to add... How the West Was Won [1962] Three directors, three cameras, and nearly 3 hours run time? What's not to love? I'm not sure I could have sit through all of it in one go.
