Welcome to Litsy!

I found a Walk to Mordor challenge on Habitica and decided to follow and mark my progress. I don't know if I will post every week but it is fun to see where I'm at on the maps in relation to Frodo and company. #FitReaders #LOTR #Hobbit

I have throughly enjoyed following Frodo and company along in this wonderful book of maps, made not by a mapmaker, cartographer, or artist, but simply a true fan who looked at all of Tolkien's drawings & the various descriptions of direction & distance within the story & meshed them together to create maps. Honestly the best fan homage I've ever seen, I can't image the level of devotion to minute descriptions this must have taken! That's devotion!

Looks like it's gonna not to be a good chapter today! Lots going on in this map of the journey.

-And I am still amazed at the level of fan devotion that lead someone to read all of Tolkien's descriptions and map them out.

I'm determine to catch this book up to where I am in the text. But I'm constantly amazed by her dedication and attention to detail in these... that a true lover of the story and an huge level of dedication.

I am loving this little companion map book, thanks again @Moray_Reads I bought it for the wonderful maps with their path, but I have to say I'm loving her explanations as well. Having read some of their circuitous route, it easy to see how much description Tolkien actually included in the text, and how a good eye could translate that into maps. Gotta love her comments resolving differences between his earlier Hobbit & the LOTR.

My ThriftBooks order came in! Looks like I'm good to finish out both series with my different reading groups. Plus I found a map book for Frodo's journey , thanks for letting me know about this gem @Moray_Reads

The journey begins with mysterious, threatening riders in black and a fortuitous meeting with High Elves, and we haven't even left the Shire yet! This book maps the whole journey of Frodo and his companions through the the books and I love the devotion and attention to detail #lotrchapteraday
