#TolkienReadingDay #TolkienReadingDay

I can't believe I almost missed Tolkien Reading Day! But here I am to raise a toast to our favourite professor!
My friends make fun of me because I often say, “This is one of my favourite Tolkien quotes,“ and they say, “They are all your favourite quotes!“ LOL! I suppose they are right.
But this quote would make any reader's heart sing!

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!

Busy week this week so I‘m playing catch up. I think it would be cool to be a Valkyrie! I couldn‘t think of any books other than Norse mythology with Valkyries (except for Marvel comics), so I chose the tagged book as it is an all time favorite. #Two4Tuesday

TheSpineView Great choices! Thanks for playing! 6d

“This book is largely concerned with Hobbits, and from its pages a reader may discover much of their character and little of their history.”

One-Volume book, it‘ll be the biggest book I‘ve read when finished. 1,031 pages not including all the Appendices and extra stuff. 1/3 of the way through.

I‘m all set for the extended edition lord of the rings marathon… turned up early to make sure I got the seat I wanted 💪🏼 (the seats at the Astor vary wildly in comfort - I don‘t think they are the original 1936 seats but maybe they are?)

Maybe should have worn shoes that didn‘t clash with the carpet… (please excuse the weird tan the top of my feet are currently rocking… genuinely perplexed by the tan lines I have)

Ruthiella Enjoy the next what, NINE hours? 🙀😂 2mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I‘ll be there 😍 (I was honestly so happy to see it on at the Astor because they always play the extended editions - the last two years I‘ve been to the Lido and it‘s honestly hard to go back to the original versions) 2mo
julesG I think I haven't seen the extended versions yet. But it's my fault, I keep ignoring my son's cries for a rewatch-athon 2mo

I‘m off to an extended edition lord of the rings marathon next weekend - and I‘m so excited!

I see the trilogy on an almost yearly basis in cinema - and I‘m so chuffed that it‘s back at The Astor - not just because it‘s the last standing, single screen movie palace in Melbourne but because they always play the extended editions (Lido may have the comfier seats but the theatrical edition don‘t have Legolas & Gimli trying to out drink each other)

Bklover Enjoy!! 2mo

I have not done one of these before, but @monalyisha has suggested this for #AuldLangSpine, so I thought, why not :)

Hi @JamieArc , I am Anna, 36 years old, living in Switzerland. I read mostly as an escape from my very busy and hectic life as a sports journalist and mum of a very active 4-years-old. My reading is all over the place: bookclub-reads, cozy crimes, stuff I stumbled over on Litsy. I am also a big sucker for books about books.

monalyisha Love this — and all the green! 💚 3mo

For my fellow #TolkienChristmas #FellowshipofTolkien buddy readers: I had completely forgotten about this Christmas album, but was reminded of it today. With songs such as “Christmas in the Shire” and “A Merryless Christmas,” it‘s hilarious and exactly what I needed during a frustrating workday. I had to share—I hope it brightens your day as well! #TolkienChristmas

BarbaraJean @JazzFeathers It's hilarious, is what it is! I got “Christmas with Denethor (Faramir's Song)“ stuck in my head last week, and it was really odd to realize I was absentmindedly humming along to the lyrics: “My daddy wants me dead this Christmas...“ 😂 3mo

Sorry for the delay, guys. It's been a busy week and I'm still on the Road with the Rohirrim! But I'll try to catchup with weekend.
In the meantime, here is the schedule of the Appendices.

And what could we ever read in December? 😏

BarbaraJean On the road with the Rohirrim is not a bad place to be (literarily speaking)! Thanks for posting this—I will probably dip into the appendices as I have time and interest (some draw me in more than others 😆). And I‘m excited about December…📝🎅🏼 4mo

Finished this today as part of the #LotRChapterADay Read-along. This is my favorite book. I found that breaking it down into a chapter a day made me appreciate it more. Having finally read The Silmarillion earlier this year added depth to this reading of LotR. Tolkien is a master story-teller and world builder. The illustrations in this edition showcase his ability to share his vision of Middle Earth. This edition is a must for Tolkien fans.

JazzFeathers What a beautiful edition! 🤩 I need it!!!!! 3mo

I did read #FellowshipofTolkien yesterday #LotRingsChapteraDay I honestly don‘t remember Tom and his upbeat, always singing, character. I was surprised that Frodo without question showed him the ring. Plus was concerned after when Tom took it away from him and Frodo had to check it was the same one. I‘m not sure if Tom is a good or bad character after that. Are the hobbits trapped in another snare? @Daisey @JazzFeathers
