~~~Hello and welcome to the Busy Bee's Book Club Podcast!~~~

Today, we continue with Chapter 7, part 2 of The Hobbit.

Soon, they know they must leave Beorn's home and depart for the Mirkwood Forest. Yet, as it looms in the distance they begin to dread it ever more. Beorn provides them with a comfortable place to rest for a few days, and good food to boot. But there is something unwell about the forest they must pass through; that much is certain for all the warnings they have been given. Whatever happens...they must not stray from the path. However, without Gandalf to steer them, will Thorin's Company manage to stay away from the dangers that lurk just out of sight? We must hope they can, for there is a dragon to face yet!

~Have a wonderful day, and thanks for listening~
