zsuzsanna_reads Thanks for tagging me! 6y

wordslinger42 My library hold still hasn't come in 😕 If it does, I'll join in, but if not, I just don't have any money to spare 6y

JazzFeathers Can't wait to read this together with you guys! 😁 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @wordslinger42 Any chance your library is connected with Hoopla? 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @wordslinger42 Scribd also had it, so if you‘ve never used them you can use their free trial period, read it, and then cancel before your paid membership starts. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @zsuzsanna_reads You‘re welcome 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @tpixie We‘ve seen a few references with our History of the Hobbit, because they included drawings done by Tolkien, and some had Smug and Gollum peeking out in the Father Christmas letters....since both were originally used to entertain his children, those few were reproduced in our History of the Hobbit book and were quite interesting to see.... I can wait to read and see the rest. 6y

tpixie @Riveted_Reader_Melissa sounds great!! 6y

The stories in this book about Father Christmas, the Polar Bear, and other characters are quite fun and funny, and the calligraphy and artwork are lovely. #Tolkien #LettersFromFatherChristmas
