BkClubCare @tpixie - Did I know that?! I know one of the Littens I follow is in Lawrence (whom?!) and @marleed is in KC. Sounds like LitsyMeetup in our future? I‘m game. 1y

tpixie @BkClubCare sounds like a great idea! We did have a meet up in KC years ago at a library. I‘m not certain how many people are still active but I may have an old list. @Daisey is outside of KC, MO 1y

Daisey @tpixie @BkClubCare I love the idea of another KC Litsy meet up! 1y

tpixie @Daisey 🌺 1y

tpixie We used #KCLitsyMeetUp It was 5 years ago! 1y

BkClubCare @tpixie @Daisey - I was in RI 5 years ago; my excuse. This time? 🥴 I always love the idea but truthfully have commitment issues. How do we make it happen? 1y

tpixie @BkClubCare I‘m going out of town the middle of next week for about 10 days. If I get a chance before hand, I‘ll round up a list of attendees to tag to see who all may want to come. The trick will be trying to figure out where to do it in Kansas City. I‘ve got a bunch of birthdays in October so it have to be early November before the holidays or sometime after. (edited) 1y

BkClubCare @tpixie - yes, my November is full already! Let‘s ease into a 2024 idea? 💡 1y

tpixie @BkClubCare maybe Spring 2024- better driving weather! 1y

BkClubCare @tpixie #KCLitsyMeetUpSpring2024 !!! 🌟 1y

tpixie @BkClubCare yes!! ( I don‘t know how I missed this response!) 1y

marleed Oh, I‘m close by and would love to attend. I get my 2nd Pfizer vaccine in 5April and may fly to Montana to help with an ailing sister. But if I‘m here, I‘ll love to meet other Littens! ...Haha. I just noticed that meeting was planned for April 2018! (edited) 4y

inthegreensandblues Also in KC area and would love to attend a meetup once it's possible! ☀️ 4y

tpixie @marleed awesomeness on your vaccine!@inthegreensandblues I realize the post is misleading since April is just around the corner! Yes this was from 2018. I‘ll see your names in case we ever can get together again!! 4y

Shaunesay Yes! It was fun! Should my second shot at the end of April! 4y

tpixie @Shaunesay awesomeness! 💉 🦠 🔨. We will conquer this virus so we can meet up again! 4y

The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

#FellowshipofTolkien friends, it has been a very Tolkien day! Not only did I start my day by reading Tolkien, but I ended it by attending a gathering of the Tolkien Society of Kansas City for the annual Toast to the Professor. I hope to attend more events in the future, but the distance makes it unlikely I will participate as much as I might like.

Texreader Sounds marvelous. Tonight my son and I finished watching LOTR extended edition, again. 5y

Daisey @Texreader It was! After all the talk about both the books and movies last night, as well as starting a reread of The Fellowship, I think I may need to watch that movie today. 5y

SilverButtonBooks I‘m so jealous. I wonder if there is anything like this where I live? 5y

Daisey @SilverButtonBooks I never thought about it until @JazzFeathers mentioned the group she is a part of and I looked up the Tolkien Society. It turns out there are various groups scattered around the world. https://www.tolkiensociety.org/society/smials/ 5y

Amandajoy Where are you at? I‘m in Omaha and have been trying to find area Littens to do a meet up with. I would head to KC, there‘s a bookshop there I want to go to. 5y

JazzFeathers That sounds like a fantastic day, @Daisey! Being part of a face-to-face group is such a great experience. I'm happy you've found one near you. And yes, l need to watch the films again, too 😆 5y

Daisey @Amandajoy I actually live east of KC, and chose this event to attend because it was not quite as far away as some of the others I‘ve heard about. We did have a #KCLitsyMeetup a couple years ago, but I have not heard any plans for another. Just out of curiosity, what bookstore? 5y

Amandajoy It‘s Rainy Day Books. I‘ve heard it‘s a cute bookstore. 5y

Daisey @Amandajoy I‘ve heard good things about that one too but haven‘t made it there. 5y

wordslinger42 I've thought about joining the Tolkien Society, but haven't done it yet! I also doubt I'd be able to make it to many events! 5y

Daisey @wordslinger42 Luckily, the KC group is pretty informal. I have been following their social media for almost a year and chose this event as a good way to check it out in person. I‘m glad I did and plan to attend some more, but it‘s at least an hour drive to any, so it probably still won‘t be often. 5y

Linsy So cool! ✨ (edited) 5y

The Queen of Blood | Sarah Beth Durst

Today‘s #bokhaul! The Queen of Blood is from our #KCLitsyMeetup today, and I‘ll be adding some more books from our discussion to my TBR. Then I stopped to browse Half-Price Books on the way home. I picked up a copy of Don Quixote so I can attempt it at some point for #1001books, and another Tolkien book I don‘t yet have on my shelves.

Chelleo Great bookmark and nice haul!! 7y

Daisey @Chelleo Thanks! @BookFreakOut made the perfect bookmarks for our meet up. 7y

tpixie Great #BookHaul ! Those bookmarks are great !! @BookFreakOut 7y

Chelleo Nicely done, @BookFreakOut 7y
