I‘m at dinner with my husband and his friend. While they watch football, I‘ll read my book! And eat a piece of cake! #hyggehourreadathon

TheBookHippie I love cake. 🍰 1d

I finished my audio reread a few days ago, but this morning I revisited the postscript to more closely consider Garth‘s discussion of the way writers wrote about WWI and specifically its influence on Tolkien‘s work.

This quote emphasizes one of the key aspects of Tolkien‘s work that I love. Many of his characters are simple people who just keep going and make a difference in their own small ways.

I found this quote from Verlyn Flieger enlightening as it makes such an interesting comparison between a return from war and a return from Faerie.

After watching Rings of Power, I had to go back to the source.

Fellow Tolkien Readers,
How are we doing on the readalong? I apologize that life has gotten in the way again, so I‘m a bit behind as well as not sharing much. I just finished chapter 6 today, ending with Tolkien going off to war and wondering if he will ever see Edith again.

BarbaraJean I thought the early chapters were so interesting, seeing Tolkien‘s early work and ideas, and the development of his mythology. I finished chapter 8 today and this part is a bit of a slog! The descriptions of battle maneuvers, etc. are pretty dry. 2w
Daisey @BarbaraJean I‘ve really enjoyed this reread so far. Now, I‘ll be curious to see if it slows down for me in the next few chapters. 2w
BarbaraJean I‘m interested to hear what others think—it may be just me! I had a hard time picturing the various areas in my head! 2w
