🌿Happy #middleearthmarch 🌿
This is part of my tiny collection. I forgot about some of my items and also this picture had to be cropped for Litsy.
This month, I'm reading the entire #lordoftherings series for the first time. Being a fan of the films for most of my life, I have only ever read The Hobbit. It's so exciting to finally read the original material that's been such an important part of my life! #jrrtolkien #middleearth #thehobbit
If anyone is interested @CaffeineAndCandy is hosting a read along/chapter a day reading of the Chronicles of Narnia starting in March, check out her post for more details.

Thought l'd share some of my Instagram pictures for #middleearthmarch
This one is a Slovakian illustration from the first chapter of The Hobbit. I love the illustrations from before the film trilogies. I find that they were more unique.

Day 21 - Ithilien: Faramir and the Rangers of Ithilien
Faramir is a phenomenal character in the book. He's a breath of fresh air and an inspiration for the reader as well as other characters.
As much as l love the films, l hate what they did to him.
#MiddleEarthMarch Day 21 - Dunharrow: Courses and ghosts on the Path of the Dead
I feel this is one of the least popular episodes in the book, and yet is soooo atmospheric and mysterious. I love that sense of being in contact with the dead, and so with the past. A past that doesn't reavel all is secrets (Stone of Erech anyone?).
Let's face it, ghosts in Middle-Earth are so fascinating.

#MiddleEarthMarch Day 20 - Minas Tirith: The White Tree of Gondor
The White Tree is a symbol, of course. For me, it's the symbol of the union history creats. That common experience that, no matter what time and what place, unite all human beings.

#MiddleEarthMarch Day 19 - Osgiliath: Outposts, capitals and forgotten history
The sequenses dedicated to Osgiliath in the film trilogy are so great that we often forget Osgiliath never really appears in the book. But it is a fantastic city, with a great history.
The film suggests that the two towers are Orthanc and Barad-Dur. I've always thought they were Minas lthil and Minas Anor on the opposite shores of Osgiliath's bridge.
