BookandBreakfast

I have the day off today. Starting off with a leisurely #BookAndBreakfast - pulled a scone from the freezer and made some tea to go along with this book which started slow but has turned into quite the page turner.

Lesliereadsalot Why didn‘t I pull a scone out of my freezer to go with my tea this am? So jealous. 6d

Bookwormjillk @Lesliereadsalot It was one of the better decisions I made last night. 6d

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Sunday morning book and breakfast

This is the essay I‘m the most intrigued to read, but I also expect to be frustrated by wanting more. After reading several of Tolkien‘s incomplete works, I know kind of what to expect. This includes commentary about Tolkien‘s nearly indecipherable notes and just enough detail to make you want to know more when it‘s impossible.

Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1) | Robin Hobb

#BookandBreakfast of banana pancakes & bacon on this fine snow day! I read the first chapter of Assassin's Apprentice before bed last night and it very well be my favorite first chapter I've ever read. I got immediately sucked in and I cannot wait to read more about Fitz.

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Happy Sunday! My goal this week is to read a canto daily, but I‘m not sure I‘ll manage it consistently. Whether or not I get to post during the week, I‘m happy to be back to some Sunday mornings with Tolkien. I don‘t consider myself much of a poetry fan, but I love this alliterative style of narrative poem. The language is beautiful.

Daisey It‘s also been a while since I‘ve read any version of the Arthur legend, so I may need to look for something in audio form for some comparison. 2mo

JazzFeathers You know? I was a fan of Arthurian legends before l was a Tolkien fan. When l was a teenager, l read both sours materials and many retellings. Yet, it's been a long time. It'll be fun to read something that gets these two passions of mine together 😊 2mo

JazzFeathers I caught up to yesterday. Every time l read these letters, l love them the more 😁 4mo

Daisey @BethM @peanutnine Agreed! I never knew about Tolkien‘s artistic talents until I started reading more of his work on Litsy. It‘s so wonderful! 4mo

Daisey @JazzFeathers I don‘t know that I can love them any more than I already do, but I do find new things to appreciate every time. 4mo

tpixie This book of letters is so fun and beautiful 🤩 4mo

BarbaraJean I treated myself to the Centenary edition this year and am so glad I did! I loved the illustrations last year but they're even better in this larger edition. And I'm loving all the commentary that the North Polar Bear adds along the way!! 4mo

Deifio I love what the north polar bear gets up to. 4mo

David Copperfield | Charles Dickens

Happy Saturday morning! I‘m starting a quiet Saturday morning with breakfast casserole and coffee while I catch up on the last few chapters of David Copperfield for October.

I have lots of things to work on at home today since I‘ve been gone the last few weekends, but I plan to listen to lots of audio and fit in some print reading for the Dewey‘s Readathon as well.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo | J. R. R. Tolkien

I finished rereading Sir Orfeo this morning with breakfast. I enjoyed this poem and as before I noted some similarities to the story of Aragorn as a king returning to his land as a man out of the wild and unrecognized.

#MedievalTolkien #FellowshipOfTolkien #BreakfastWithTolkien #BookAndBreakfast

JazzFeathers That's true! I hadn't thought of it. What l noticed was Tolkien obvious interest in the arc of temptation and fall. 6mo

Daisey @JazzFeathers Also an interesting observation. I find it so fascinating to read the things that influenced authors I love. It really adds a whole new layer to appreciating their work. 6mo

Daisey Also, to our fellow readers, we‘re planning to read Tolkien and the Great War next, if you want to start finding your book. 6mo

CatLass007 I have it! 6mo

wordslinger42 Do you have any thoughts on when we‘ll be starting Tolkien and the Great War? 6mo

Daisey @wordslinger42 Hopefully early in October since we‘re already past when we planned to have this one done. Sarah and I are both busy so keeping up and coming up with a new schedule has been a bit of a challenge. 6mo

Good morning! Today we start our next Tolkien readalong. I‘m so looking forward to discussing these poetic translations with other readers. Additionally, I‘ve missed my Sunday morning breakfast with Tolkien time. I‘m reading this print copy and also downloaded an audio to listen as well.
