So, before we start our new reads with the #FellowshipOfTolkien l want to try and finish at least the Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. With both books, I'm not so far from the end, so...
And soon, the #DraculaDaily will pick up again where l left off last year, and I'd like to finish that too.
It's disgracefully hot here in Italy. Let's see what l manage.
Here we are!!! 😁
@Daisey and l have been thinking what to read next with the #FellowshipOfTolkien.
There are a few option we'd like to explore.
Here is what we have come up with for a Fall reading.
1. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
2. The Fall of Numenor
3. Tolkien and the Great War
These are really three different path we might thread.
1. Tolkien's medieval work (so much to read!)
2. New publications
3. Books about Tolkien
What you fancy?😁
#FellowshipOfTolkien
I did write a short blog to celebrate Tolkien's birthday. I'm late as usual, but here it is 😁

Here‘s the first in a set of 6 reading challenges I created for my library system. Each book is related to a fact about the author. As an extra challenge, discover the facts! #ReadingChallenge #ReadingChallenge2024
I‘ve got two words to share today. This one is actually from the Lord of the Rings Reader‘s Companion rather than LotR itself. Tolkien explains in a letter how Frodo‘s actions at the Crack of Doom had been foreshadowed or adumbrated earlier in the story.

Not many notes for this chapter, just a lap full of pets who don‘t think I should get up to finish this morning‘s housework or get ready to leave for church.

For Book 6 Chapter 4 “The Field of Cormallen”
I found this note about March 25, the day the ring was destroyed, and it‘s traditional relevance in Christian history as the date of the Annunciation and Crucifixion interesting. The note also explains its meaning as Lady Day which I had no knowledge of, other than recently noticing it in reading Tess of the D‘Urbervilles.

From Book 5 Chapter 6 “The Battle of the Pelennor Fields”
This is another place we see just how much interconnection there is between the details of the story. Comments made in Book 1 are relevant to events in Book 5, and the history within the story connects the event back to the Numenoreans.
