We're going there and back again, as we rewind to one of Anna's least favorite books from her middle school years. We're not gonna lie to you guys, this episode ended up being a real unexpected journey. Come along with us, and Bilbo Baggins, as we travel through Middle Earth, to talk about Evangelical cartooning, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, and so much more!

A very special thank you to Ben Cope for our theme song! Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/fretwiz.

Rather be reading this fortnight:

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Carey Pietsch
