Welcome to Litsy!

Here's a photo I took of the huge map of Middle-Earth done in tapestry that's hanging in the Cité internationale de la tapisserie in Aubusson (France).

On 18 July 2017, tens of us started an adventure, but only 5 kept going: @Daisey @wordslinger42 @BookwormAHN @Riveted_Reader_Melissa and myself.
Together, we crossed the gates of Morning and entered the Undying Lands to learn about the Valar. We cheered Beren and Luthien as they fought Morgoth, fled Numenor with Elendil and finally came to Middle-earth and its Rings.

I'll forever remember that journey,ladies!
On this anniversary, I hank you 😘

Found this yesterday and excited to find the rest of the set! They are gorgeous! The image is engraved into the cover. 😍

My window of plants 🌿 I also have a vinca vine and snake plants! I'm hoping to get some more air plants soon, too.

1. I can‘t stand editing/proofreading mistakes that pull me out of the story. (Example: a character uses a nickname the whole book and suddenly is called by his full name for no reason.)
2. Full set of HOME plus Letters plus Unfinished/Lost Tales…

Definitely only for Tolkienistas, as it delves into the minutiae of the Professor's creative process which will, I think, be of zero interest to the causal reader. Divided into three parts, the first of which is the driest, having lengthy lists, tables and calculations of Elvish population growth and lifespans. The other two parts I found juicier and more expansive of the legendarium. 👇🏼

Feeling both amused and somewhat gladdened that when typing the title of the chapter I'm up to, "Galadriel and Celeborn", my phone's autocomplete already knew their names! ??‍♀️??‍♂️?

Got this at Vroman‘s in Pasadena, California. I read it as I waited for my sister‘s training to finish. Amazing read, although I definitely will need to read it a few times for full comprehension. 😂 #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #thehobbit #thelordoftherings

Thank you for the very lovely book, and the very sweet note @kourtlynrose 💕💜💕
