#FellowshipOfTolkien

Why Tolkien's books always end on a sad note? 😢

I enjoyed this short collection a lot more than the first time that l read it, years ago. Maybe because now l can place it a little better among the other stories of Middle-earth.

A surprise number of them talk about journeys in a morm or another.
I didn't realise this the first time.

This may seem a transition chapter, yet - l believe - we find here the core of Tolkien's philosophy.
In the way the friends come together and slowly take stock of what happend and how they were change, with a hint that the change might bring good things.
And in the last debate, where Gandalf guides toward doing the right thing in the time assigned to us, as others will do in their time.
Loved it!

I love this chapter!
After so many epic events, here we go back to a human/hobbit scale. The characters arc back to how they were at the beginning of the story.
It really feels like going home after the terror of the war.

The dialogue between Strider and Merry always makes me laugh 😂

On the homebound train. Can't wait for the weekend.
Sorry for the long silent, especially to my fellow #LotRChapterADay readers. It's an hellish period. I hope things will look up and in the new year, though.

I hope to finish Return of the King over Christmas. I'm behind with #TolkienChristmas but l expect to catch up tonight.
I have two #NetGalley ARCs expiring before the year ends, will probably manage to read just one.

Let's keep up! 💪😁

This is one of those chapters you think, why does it have to go this way? It could go differently. And yet, this is at the core of Tolkien's majore themes: when we let despair get hold of us, it may do worse that any of our enemies.

That moment Gandalf hesitates on the gate, knowing that he has to choose and whatever choice he will make will be the end of someone... It just wrecked me.

I mean. How is it l didn't remember how packed full of... Everything this chapter is?
I always remember Theoden's death, that always, always gets me. And if course l remember Eowyn's reveal, which should be every woman's battlecry (in my opinion), but somehow l didn't remember the battle, the Denethor's tragedy, Eomer's rage and then hope, the release of Aragorn's arrival.
It's just incredible.

Here‘s Wes putting his stocking on in prep for St Nick tonight 😂 But what I came here to say is we I forgot to read tonight‘s Santa letter and he made sure we didn‘t go to bed without it being read 😂 #raisingreaders #lotrchapteraday #fellowshipoftolkien
