I‘m still only in the middle of Book 2, but I‘m getting some pages in today with lunch and hope to get back in the habit of reading a few pages each evening.

Lays of Beleriand | J R R Tolkien

Happy Tolkien Reading Day! After recently reading Tolkien‘s work on The Fall of Arthur I decided to revisit a bit more of his poetry today in the tagged book with supper tonight. I love the story of Beren and Luthien, and the parts that were written as poetry are especially wonderful.

Anyone else reading a little extra Tolkien today?

BarbaraJean I had forgotten Tolkien Reading Day—thanks for the reminder! I have a tiny gift edition of Tolkien‘s poetry, and I‘ll have to read through it this evening! 5mo

BooksandCoffee4Me Missed this because I had a total knee replacement surgery but thanks for the tag! 💛 I‘m in and have two new books (new to me) to read - Tolkien‘s Beowulf and his short tales! 5mo

Daisey @BooksandCoffee4Me The Beowulf is one I want to read soon! 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have been watching Tolkien. I finished all 3 extended versions of the Hobbit Trilogy and am almost halfway through the LOTR extended versions. 5mo

Daisey @Riveted_Reader_Melissa That sounds great! I should make some time to watch them all again. 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Daisey honestly…the real world is a mess, but Tolkien (whether he meant it to or not) drew from his own life experience living in “interesting times” as they say & funneled into his work so much of the times then & now. Of different groups that hate each other because of history reasons, that need to pull it together to fight something bigger. Also how easily corruptible promises of power are & the reminder they never really share power. Plus⤵️ 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ of course…. Gold corrupts even the most noble. And coveting wealth over Song & food (and family & friends & people & health & first responders & vets & special education & research & air traffic control, & etc to infinity it seems) never ends well. The gold survived to corrupt again, but lots of pointless dead in the field after the fight 5mo

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

I haven‘t had a lot of reading time this past week, so my priority was finishing The History of Love. Now that it‘s done, I finally settled in to start “The Evolution of the Poem” this evening with supper. Also, crazy Missouri weather was in the 60s yesterday and back in the 30s today, so it was chili for supper again.

Where the Lockwood Grows | Olivia A. Cole

Happy Saturday! It‘s snowing outside, but I‘m cozy inside with Christmas music playing while I enjoy a late lunch and more of this book.

#ReadAndEat #TRS2024 #MiddleGrade

Tamra Your lunch 😍! Do you think we‘ll have a white Xmas this year? We have had a dusting that didn‘t really stick and there isn‘t anything in the near forecast. 😢 (I think you are in IA? I‘m in MN.) 9mo

Daisey @Tamra Thanks! Leftover Thanksgiving salad toppers for the win today! I‘m in Missouri, and I never try to guess what Christmas will look like here. It‘s definitely a beautiful snow today (especially since I don‘t have to go anywhere). (edited) 9mo

Tamra @Daisey oh yes, definitely no predicting in MO. We lived in KS for a year and that was a weird winter with all weather. 9mo

Dark Fire: A Shardlake Novel | C. J. Sansom

pick

I finished the last chapters of this book with supper tonight. This was actually the first book of the series I read, and I think it might still be my favorite. We‘ll see as I continue this series reread. I found both mysteries absolutely fascinating, and the historical setting as vivid as well. I like the continuing friendship between Shardlake & Guy, and Barak definitely adds an interesting dynamic and useful investigative skills.

It‘s the first week of school and my to do list is so long, but I took a short break this evening for supper and one chapter. Maybe I can fit in another later tonight.

The Voyage Out | Virginia Woolf

I started listening to this while prepping and grilling supper tonight. I don‘t tend to be a fan of Woolf‘s style, but so far I‘m kind of enjoying listening.

Leaders of Their Own Learning: Transforming Schools Through Student-Engaged Assessment | Ron Berger

so-so

I finally read the rest of this book, but I ended up skimming some sections. It‘s got some decent information, but I had to push myself to keep going.

📷: A fish taco I had for supper this evening before I finished the last couple chapters.
