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

Today, we continue with Chapter 8, part 1 of The Hobbit.

The company of Thorin Oakenshield begin their trek through the forest of Mirkwood. All is not well from the very beginning, there is something rather...strange and sick about this forest. Without their reliable wizard- the dwarves, and a very sore Bilbo, follow the path resolutely deeper and deeper into the strange dark wood. There are strange noises, and sights, for those with keen eyes. Moreover there is no sun, no wind, and no comfort to be found.  On and on they trudge, but things begin to take a turn as they reach a dark and unfathomable stream that cuts across their path. Will they be able to leave the forest safely, or has something sinister already set them in their sights...?

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!

Today, we begin with Chapter 4 of The Hobbit.

In this chapter, the company of Thorin Oakenshield are making their way through the mountains and up, up, up leaving the valley from whence they departed far behind them. Summer is well underway in the pleasant parts of Middle Earth and the company of fourteen are in low spirits. A terrible horrible thunder-battle doing nothing but serve make them all the more miserable. In search of somewhere safe and dry, our bedraggled crew find themselves on the doorstep of the Great Goblin King himself and Gandalf...well...where has Gandalf gone...?

Today, we begin with Chapter 5 of The Hobbit.

In this chapter, our dear old Bilbo finds himself a little more than lost and alone. Trudging on ever deeper down, down, down the mountain without much light to guide him, and no-one -not even goblins- to give chase, he appears to be well and truly low in spirit, and hope. Who then, should he meet in such a deep dark, dank, and slimy place other than that horrid, pitiable thing known as Gollum. There are riddles, and precioussss treasures in the deep parts of the mountain, long forgotten by the goblins. Just what...what is in Bilbo's pocket?

Today, we begin with Chapter 6 of The Hobbit.

In this chapter, our dear old Bilbo is yet again, well and truly lost. But when he feels as though he oughtn't to go on by himself he stumbles across just the group of people he was worried about! All is not well for long though, as Gandalf fears what the goblins might try to do when day becomes night. Their best hope is to travel the rough and winding road and hope to end up beyond the reach of the goblins as quickly as they can. How then, is it, that they find themselves clinging to the branches of trees, surrounded by Wargs, and running out of time to escape? I suppose we ought to hope Gandalf can hold them off for just a little longer....

Today, we begin with Part 1 of Chapter 7 of The Hobbit.

In this chapter, Thorin and company travel as far as the great eagles will take them, before they part ways. This brief respite, leaves them only a little time to regroup.  Now that they are much farther North than intended, they must make haste and travel towards Mirkwood at a steady pace. Soon, Gandalf will be bidding them farewell also, and they have no food, ponies, nor supplies of any kind; save for their ragged clothes and worn spirits. Never fear, Gandalf has an idea to pay the great Beorn a visit, and if they're lucky....they may just find a place to sleep as well as a hearty meal!
