Does any US based #fellowshipoftolkien member want these? They contain duplicates of things I have in different editions. If multiple people say yes I‘ll pick a name out of a hat when we come back from MI on Monday.

The Sir Gawain is an old, used copy. The contents on the right show what‘s in The Tolkien Reader, which is brand new.

gossamerchild I would definitely be interested! 14mo
BethM @gossamerchild they‘re yours! Just send me your address at bethmkaiser at gmail dot com! 13mo
gossamerchild @BethM Sweet! Will do. 13mo
BethM @gossamerchild I‘m going today if you have a chance to shoot it to me this am. If not no worries! 13mo
gossamerchild @BethM oh my goodness, I'm so sorry! I got a new phone, and Litsy isn't available in the Android app store, so I haven't been checking in as much as I would usually. I will email you right now! 13mo

“The strangest strangers turn out to know it and we talk about Gandalf and mad Gollum and the bridge of Khazad-dûm while the party or classroom or the train rattled along unheard. Old friends rediscover it, as I do-to browse through any book of the Ring trilogy is to get hooked once more into the whole legend-and we talk of it at once as though we had read just read it for the first time“ -Peter S Beagle,the forward.❤️YES❤️#lordoftherings #tolkien

Already receiving packages for my #shortstoryswap and #Tolkieniteswap. 😝 I can‘t wait to open these and see which one they are for 🤣🤣🤣🎁 @Marmie7 @Sorceryandswords and @CSeydel and my secret friend for my short story swap 😉

CSeydel Whee! My green envelopes came today too 😁 Glad to see I‘m not the only one who gets swap books from Thriftbooks 6y
JoScho @CSeydel I do that too! Usually they are in great shape and they have such a large selection. 6y
CSeydel @JoScho yeah! Sometimes I get an ex-library copy with the plastic protective jacket, which doesn‘t bother me but I worry if others might find it tacky. But they can always take it off, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

Ddzmini @CSeydel and @JoScho I figure you can get more books for less and there in great condition so why not especially if it‘s a budget swap 6y
Sophoclessweetheart How exciting! You‘re on the ball! 😹🖤👌🏻 6y

Browsing through a book belonging to my husband, and stumbled upon the perfect bookmark to celebrate #tolkienreadingday ! Unfortunately this charming bookshop no longer exists. The tagged book is also from my husband‘s collection circa 1966. #tolkiengiveaway

25 March: TOLKIEN READING DAY. On the Vala, Nienna: “... So great was her sorrow as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end...But she does not weep for herself; and those that harken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope.” —The Valaquenta in The Silmarillion. (The picture is my bookcase of Tolkien‘s writings & others‘ books on his works.)

#TolkienReadingDay

Tolkien's wit is one of the things l like best in his writing

TK421 I love how he wrote Bilbo's dialog at the party in Lord of the Rings. 7y
JazzFeathers @TK421 He was a born orator as well as a born storyteller 😉 7y
flip58 I need to reread. It has been too long. 7y

Last July I started a reread of The Hobbit with several people here on Litsy, and since then we have continued to read Tolkien‘s work almost every day. This has been a great opportunity to revisit some of my favorite books and experience books new to me as well. Today I hope to share a few favorite quotes as well as continue reading The Book of Lost Tales.

#TolkienReadingDay #YearofTolkien #LotRChapterADay #Tolkien

JazzFeathers When l first joined Litsy one year ago, l was just in time to miss a readalong of the Lord of the Rings. I was so disappointed. But then the #LotRChapterADay came along and l am so happy l joined. It's such a great experience and l'm having such fun reading along you guys! 7y
DivineDiana It was because of Litsy that I finally read Tolkien. What a joy! 7y
Daisey @JazzFeathers Absolutely! I‘ve gotten so much more out of this reading experience than any other time I‘ve read a book at a time by myself. 7y
Daisey @DivineDiana He‘s one of my favorite authors, and I have loved this long readalong experience! 7y

readherwriteher @CherryPie Are you low-carb? 7y
CherryPie @readherwriteher Yes. Neuro probs. 7y
readherwriteher @CherryPie I‘ve heard that while sugar is the main source of energy for the brain, it may not be the best. I sure hope whatever ails you isn‘t chronic or debilitating. Thinking of you, either way. 7y
CherryPie @readherwriteher Thank you! It's pretty amazing to successfully treat a variety of neuro crap with a simple diet. Cheap, too. 👍 7y
readherwriteher @CherryPie I‘ve read a lot over the last year about the gut-brain connection. It‘s fascinating to me. 7y

My first 2 hours happened earlier than expected after my body decided to wake up at 4:30 instead of 7:30 😣. Oh well the #24in48 is off to a good start and a cup of tea (of many I'm sure) drank 😊. #booksandtea #readathon #weekendsareforreading

I was going to do my #hpchapteraday before bed, but then I got distracted with Pauline Baynes illustrations on the internet, so I guess I just need a Tolkien fix tonight. Catch up tomorrow. 🙂
