I think I posted this last year. I'm going to post it again because I still like it.

And there we go, reread finished. I'm still very fond of it, and still find Tolkien's world-building amazing... and I still have a lot of nostalgia about it, too! But I found it slower-going than I remembered. I think the reader also brings a lot to Tolkien's works, and I'm perhaps not the ideal reader for it that I was a few years ago.

Which is fine; I might be again some day, and I did still enjoy it.

Mini book haul from The Last Bookstore and Barnes & Noble, which includes #jrrtolkien‘s #tolkien‘s #thelordoftherings. Check out this link to see the other books: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWqOVbCFD9l/?utm_medium=share_sheet

So apparently there is a new illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings and I am desperately trying to convince myself that I don't need it...I already own three other editions! But...but...those sprayed edges! 😍 Do I need this? No. But do I want it? Absolutely. Thoughts? 😁💕📚

Look at this gorgeous edition I spotted today. It can be yours for a mere $75! 😳

We got a new hamster and you really can't let my husband choose names.

He named him Gandalf...
because... "the gray"

This looks stunning, but with a $75 cover price...

Can‘t rule it out ??

Can‘t deny it‘s potato pushing agenda!

"Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish."

Finally through The Two Towers and onwards to book V! Book IV is perhaps my least favourite; Faramir is a great character, but I hate spending the time with Gollum!

Love Safety Endangered cartoons - the comment thread under this one is mint 😝 he asks how do people watch the extended trilogy in one sitting? (Most people answer with a version of the correct answer, “how could you not?”)

😂

E-dog 🤣

I think these books are the only ones I've read relating to walking... it's a good thing I liked them! Also, he's Watson on a hike a couple months ago through South Mountain Reserve. It was muddy but breezy and he LOVED it.

"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure."

Here at Las Colimas, we take advantage of the bountiful trails that connects us to nature. And if you need a little inspiration, just remember the Hobbits, the dwarves, the elves, and the humans that traveled many miles in Lord of the Rings.

I‘d say help, I keep getting lost on tumblr but I actually love it there 🤣

Saw this on Instagram and had to share

Current obsession! I wonder why I was putting off reading this absolute beauts of a book till now

‘You cannot pass,‘ he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. ‘I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.‘
Chillllsssss?‍?️

When package from The Book Depository includes the most fitting bookmark ever 😅

“How Can I Protect You in This Crazy World” … a song I love from Aslan .. one of my favorite lines in music ..
I‘m scared about getting the 2d vaccine … but here we go ..
When I get scared I think of Ian McKellen,who played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, he said a vaccine saved his life when he was a boy & he put up a post of himself getting the Covid vaccine on Twitter .. he is my inspiration ..

Basically surviving on tumblr text posts - it‘s been a WEEK and somehow it‘s only halfway through Tuesday 😳

My new Kindle cover.

Prompt: Motivates

I loved the friendship and devotion among the characters, especially Sam and Frodo, the support and motivation they gave each other helped them achieve their goals.

1. Happy ✔️

2. If I need that app it must be for something important & I‘ve set it to the last possible moment so my feet have hit the floor running.

3. Don‘t lie! I‘ll catch you & you‘ll instantly lose my trust/respect. I don‘t as my brain has no space for a double life & of course, it‘s wrong.

4. White, while not a color it‘s the sum of all possible colors. In my artwork, purple.

Thank you George! @Trashcanman

1. A Gentleman in Moscow because not only was in popular but we read it for bookclub and talked a lot about it. 100% approval rating.

I tag @NataliePatalie

📚Yes, many actually! The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine, which I read annually for several years of my childhood. Harry Potter, The Hobbit, and many others. Definitely as a youngster, less so as an adult.
📚No. It‘s a nice bonus but not a deciding factor at all.
📚The Lord of the Rings! That‘s a whole lot of nature of all kinds of landscapes.

#ThoughtfulThursday

I know it‘s all over now but how often are there LOTR memes on current world events?!

I should be asleep right now but I‘m not sleepy...

1. Well my niece bought me ... Berserk Deluxe Volume 1, The Umbrella Academy Library Edition Volume 1 and Wishful Drinking for Christmas so she seems to support my book habit financially 🖤🖤🖤

2. Sadly no

3. LOTR

#WonderousWednesday EDIT or #wondrouswednesday
Sorry I‘m late @EadieB

Best time for reading in the bed at a rainy sunday.
#FellowshipofTolkien

I'm all set for a trip to Middle-earth.

Some of my brother‘s collection. The horn is new and amazing. 🤩

Saw this on reddit 😂

Reading again after one week without time for it...
And after a bad day I need a few minutes in another World 🌌

#FellowshipofTolkien

This cracked me up more than it should have 🤣
