I still find LOTR so boring but Andy Serkis makes it more interesting. We are prepping for a trip to New Zealand, so I‘m reading the books. This is my 2nd time listening to this one. I‘ve never read the others.

Made it through step two of my LOTR journey. Really diving into the books really does make me have a even bigger love for the franchise that the movies introduced me to

It‘s been a long time since I read the books but this one made me want to dive back into them. There were things I didn‘t know about them or Tolkien until reading this book. It takes you into the mythology and history that inspired these stories, and gives some information about Tolkien himself. Loved it.

Today‘s #threelistthursday / #TLT assignment is three movie soundtracks you love. I don‘t have patience to fiddle with Pic Collage today, so here‘s a gratuitous picture of Eomer. 😍
My choices
1. The Return of the King (Howard Shore)
2. Gettysburg (Randy Edelman)
3. The Boys Are Back (Sigur Ros)
Honorable mention because it‘s not technically a soundtrack: Songs from District 12 (various) (Hunger Games)

Wow! I loved reading this ending- or beginning because there are still pages for Sam to write. 😭This was my favorite by far and I‘m so glad I finally got around to reading this trilogy. Gave me all the feels. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oooh this second book was great! You can tell we are building up to something epic. I loved the Frodo, Sam and Gollum chapters the best. Even though I know how it ends, it still feels new. Although of course I am still picturing Elijah and Viggo! 😉 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
