Summary
Theirs is a story of leaving and waiting, it’s true, but that’s only a small part of it. There are so many other things—tender notes scribbled in the margins telling of a growing collection of paperbacks, and promises made to be kept. An island on the edge of nowhere, and peace, longed-for and deserved when the leave-taking is finally done.
Shanks and Makino, from the beginning.

Summary
What are you supposed to do when you've been fired from your sweet job in Hell for thwarting the schemes of Satan, you've got a swanky flat in Mayfair, and you're looking for an excuse to spend all your time in someone else's bookshop? Obviously, you turn to the dubious world of short-term vacation rentals.
The resulting Airbnb property has been variously described as "an instagram trap," "a vampire den but make it botanical," and "the weirdest bed and breakfast in the shared history of beds and breakfasting."

Summary
Bilbo interrupts an argument between Bombur and Dwalin to explain the hobbit approach to ancestral weaponry, and the insanity of more or less the entire Took line.
Or: why frying pans are a hobbit's weapon of choice.
