Letters From Father Christmas | J.R.R. Tolkien

Merry Christmas and a lovely day to all my fellow Littens! I spent a bit of time this morning reading more letters with my coffee and then listening to A Christmas Carol while prepping food for later today.

Ruthiella Merry Christmas to you! 🎄 2d

kspenmoll My brother‘s home in Sonoma burnt down in wildfires about 17 yrs ago. The only book left from his extensive library was this one, because I had borrowed it. He lost many editions of Tolkien‘s works, but he, his wife, & daughter had time to flee. He ran back in the house to save the family dog & he suffered burns on his legs & arms as a result. Their other daughter was visiting friends. 2d

PaperbackPirate Thank you for keeping the 12 days going! Off to make my list… 2d

SilversReviews I love this. Am I allowed to share this with my information on other social media sites and let a few friends know about it? I will give credit to you and Litsy. Thanks. ALSO - do we keep the January Book on the photo or remove it and only have the current month? THANK YOU (edited) 2d

TheEllieMo @SilversReviews it‘s the first time I‘ve hosted this, so I haven‘t really thought about anything like that! I think most people will add each month‘s book so by Twelfth day we‘ll have 12 books on the image. As for sharing it, I didn‘t create the idea, I‘ve picked it up because @andrew65 hasn‘t posted for a while, so if you do share it outside, please credit him too! 2d

SilversReviews @TheEllieMo Thank you. I‘ll check with @Andrew65 as well. (edited) 1d

Letters From Father Christmas | J.R.R. Tolkien

I don‘t usually participate in the Sunday #HyggeHour because I‘m frantically working to get things ready for another week of school, but it‘s Christmas break! So, this evening I‘ve settled in for a bit to catch up on some of my reading of Letters from Father Christmas. I love Polar Bear‘s antics and the illustrations on every reread.

Joyce Carol Oates: Letters to a Biographer | Joyce Carol Oates

I received this book from LibraryThing.com Early Member Giveaway for a honest review. This is my opinion of the book. It was interesting to read letters from the author to her biographer. She talks about what happens in her day to day life and also talks about her writing process. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I was surprised at what a pageturner this was, though I do tend to love epistolary novels. There's a smidge of a mystery element and a smidge of suspense, but mainly it's a portrait of a somewhat cantankerous woman nearing the end of her life, who discovers that it's not too late to create stronger relationships, help others, allow herself to receive help and resolve some of the question marks that have haunted her. Not soppy, just really moving.
