Last month, I published my first ever eBook — Thirty Days in the Shire — a guide to slowing down, living simply, and becoming more of a Hobbit at Heart. The book includes a list of thirty challenges to complete within the thirty days, along with five hobbity habits to begin putting into practice.

One of the hobbity habits is to stay at home as much as possible, inspired by the tendency of most Hobbits to prefer their cozy chair by the fire over any and all sorts of adventure.
