The Fellowship of the Ring | J. R. R. Tolkien

I still find LOTR so boring but Andy Serkis makes it more interesting. We are prepping for a trip to New Zealand, so I‘m reading the books. This is my 2nd time listening to this one. I‘ve never read the others.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Glad Andy redeems them somewhat for you 😬 Have you watched the movies? Which part of NZ are you visiting? If you are going to Auckland - the Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata is pretty glorious. I went in 2013 - and had a great time walking through it, and we had a meal at the Green Dragon at the end. 1w
Laughterhp @thegirlwiththelibrarybag The plan is to visit all of NZ, both islands. The movie set is on the list! 1w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Laughterhp, amazing! I‘ve only been to the North island - mostly Auckland but did the Hobbiton day trip (through a smaller company which was great because it a smaller group - and they picked us up from the hotel, we just had to be on time to be collected) and Rotorua - my friend was very keen for some fancy spa treatments and I really wanted to try zorbing… it‘s a beautiful country! Have you tried any NZ authors or movies? (edited) 1w

ReadingWithAnOtaku
The Two Towers | J. R. R. Tolkien

Made it through step two of my LOTR journey. Really diving into the books really does make me have a even bigger love for the franchise that the movies introduced me to

I have been a fan of LOTR since I was a kid and was introduced to the movies. Over the years, I've gotten into watching Lore videos on YouTube as just a way to learn new things about the world that was not in the movies, and I decided to finally read the books for myself.

For me, The Fellowship of the Ring shed a new light on the Frodo adventure, and I really enjoyed diving into the world from the source.

The Golden Hall of Meduseld in Rohan.

IRL it‘s probably Edinburgh Castle.

It‘s been a long time since I read the books but this one made me want to dive back into them. There were things I didn‘t know about them or Tolkien until reading this book. It takes you into the mythology and history that inspired these stories, and gives some information about Tolkien himself. Loved it.

Today‘s #threelistthursday / #TLT assignment is three movie soundtracks you love. I don‘t have patience to fiddle with Pic Collage today, so here‘s a gratuitous picture of Eomer. 😍

My choices
1. The Return of the King (Howard Shore)
2. Gettysburg (Randy Edelman)
3. The Boys Are Back (Sigur Ros)

Honorable mention because it‘s not technically a soundtrack: Songs from District 12 (various) (Hunger Games)

dabbe F😍B choices! And thanks for the gratuitous Eomer pic! 🔥 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎶🖤 6mo

Reggie I am such an an ungrateful son but back in 2005-6 all I asked for Xmas was the soundtrack to The Two Towers and even specified make sure it‘s from the 2nd one. I got the Fellowship of the Ring and was pissed. I still smiled and said thank you. lol 6mo

Wow! I loved reading this ending- or beginning because there are still pages for Sam to write. 😭This was my favorite by far and I‘m so glad I finally got around to reading this trilogy. Gave me all the feels. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

dabbe IKR? 🤩🤩🤩 7mo
