The funny thing is, I never really got into the books until I heard they were making the films. My parents both loved it (my dad wanted to call me Galadriel when I was born), and I tried to read it as a teenager but it never grabbed me - but then, high fantasy isn't my fave genre; I still haven't managed to read the Game of Thrones books either. BUT I adore the films (and The Hobbit ones too!), and every couple of months or so I get a craving for some epic fight scenes with orcs, lol! So cool about the translations and the made up words! I never thought about that before, but of course other languages would have to make them up too. So interesting!

And heee, I think it's going to be a bit of a surprise when Madison starts in September, because they have different surnames. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces! ♥
