I am going to summarize each chapter that I read:
Chapter 13 : Not At Home
Bilbo, Thorin, and the other dwarves are stuck in the cave, the tunnel blocked by shattered rocks, Bilbo isn't giving up so easily so they go back to the Heart of the Mountain where it's completely dark. Bilbo finds the Arkenstone and heads towards the great doors where he can feel the breeze and sees people through its cracks, and then all of a sudden something/ or someone bumps into him dropping his torch and its dark again. When Bilbo and the dwarves find each other they all become happy and cheerful and take pockets of gems and treasures from the cave. They all follow the Running River trying to get out of the mountain, and they succeed , with a view over Dale at the Front Gate of the Mountain. They're scared that Smaug might appear out of somewhere so they hide in a rocky chamber with an opening door.
Chapter 14 : Fire and Water
They see the lights appear again and have tons of theories for the King under the Mountain, there were people celebrating and all of a sudden Smaug zoomed through the skies as fast as he could, and then started to breath out fire and people started jumping into the lake. A brave archer called Bard steps up and starts throwing his arrows at Smaug, at one point one of his arrows went right into Smaug's soft spot, his left breast and Smaug dies, declaring Bard the King of Lake-town. People are shouting " Bard the King ! " , people and animals carry out the word and Elvenking comes to Lake-town and helps out the town.
Chapter 15 : The Gathering of the Clouds
Something dragged Bilbo's attention to the secret door at the mountain, and as he came towards it, he found out that it was Roac son of Carc, and tells Bilbo and the rest of the dwarves that he shouldn't trust the King beneath the Mountain since Smaug is dead but, that he can trust Bard. Thorin thinks that this might be a part of his ancestral role of being the Master beneath the Mountain so he sends a group of birds (thrush) to Dain of Iron Hills. As from now Thorin is wanting to return to the mountains, so him and the dwarves go there and are trying to get past the elves but can't and instead start cheering and partying, as Bard tries to talk to Thorin he refuses and will only talk if his men will ally with the elves. Bard said no and left with his men, and on their way out they left big banners saying that if anyone needs medical help ( or aid ) they can come to the dwarves for help, Thorin says no and tells them to consider themselves annoying and trouble-making.
Chapter 16 : A Thief in the Night
Thorin tries looking for the Arkenstone in the hills of treasure ( but I don't think he knows that Bilbo has it ), and a crow/raven comes and tells him that Dain is coming with his army of dwarves. Later on during whats happening Bilbo has the Arkenstone and takes it to Bombur a night guard, he says to give it to Bard while Bilbo will take over his place. When Bombur gives the Arkenstone to Bard it was for him and Thorin to renegotiate peace, and suddenly Gandalf reappears. 
Chapter 17 : The Clouds Burst
When Bombur presents the Arkenstone to Bard, Bilbo explains why he's giving it to him and how this should sort of problems with Thorin, when Thorin finds out he gets extremely angry, but then Thorin and Bard make had a discussion and figured it out. Bard runs out and tells Dain and his dwarves that they can't pass by, Elvenking comes and says that they can make peace and have this be friendly but the dwarves strike. Gandalf had warned about this, and the Battle of Five Armies is placed right now with Dain's dwarves, goblins, and wargs attacking against the elves, dwarves, and men. Bilbo had suddenly passed out my getting hit by a rock and the dwarves and him get saved by eagles from all the fighting.
Chapter 18 : The Return Journey
When Bilbo wakes up he finds out that the eagles changed the goblins route in the mountain and that Beorn is here to help too, and also that Thorin has been wounded badly in the war and could possibly die. Later on he dies, along with Kili and Fili and are all buried together with the Arkenstone and the Orchrist. 1/14 of the treasure hoard was as promised going to Bard while Bilbo gets some of the rest as well. Everyone goes back to where they're going and Bilbo returns with Gandalf, Elvenking, and Beorn and spends the Christmas season until Spring with Beorn.
Chapter 19 : The Last Stage
At once Bilbo returns back to his house in Elrond which was sold at a auction because people presumed that he was dead, but he gets his house back and lives happily there rethinking the adventure that he took.
