The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Repost for @Daisey

#FellowshipOfTolkien Readers, here‘s our plan for The Fall of Arthur! I would like to finish reading it in February, but I also think this book may require some slow, close reading. Remember our schedule is always a very loose guideline and feel free to post your thoughts at any time. I hope to make time to post each weekend if not during the week.

@Daisey and l are planning to start a new #MedievalTolkien read, possibly at the beginning of February.

So, you know, l was an Arthurian legends fan before l became a Tolkien fan. Is this coming full circle? 😆

Pleas join us if you are a Tolkien fan, an Arthurian legends fan, a Medieval history fan... a reader 😁

Tolkien: Treasures | Catherine McIlwaine

One of my current hyper fixations is J.R.R.Tolkien. I stumbled across this and knew I needed it. It has a bit of info about his life and his writing. However, it is mostly photos of his artwork. I only learned recently how much of an artist he was. This is a quick read, and I'm glad I found it.

Daisey I haven‘t seen this one you‘ve read, but I do love the book I have about his art! 2w
bookishbitch @Daisey Oh, that one looks good too! 2w

My #wintergames total is 5,075 points, @StayCurious 🎄📚Between just having moved and being pregnant, I wasn‘t able to participate as much as I was hoping, but I got to read a couple of my very favorite Christmas reads, and it was fun to see other Littens‘ posts 😊 Thank you and @LiseWorks so much for taking the time to host!

For Christmas, Tolkien would write letters to his kids as Father Christmas & other characters. It is really cute, & you can even see early LOTR influences.
For this year's reread, I tried the audiobook, & it was incredible ❤️

Daisey I thought the audio was available from one of my libraries and planned to listen this time as well, but when I went to look it wasn‘t there. At some point, I do plan to try it out. 2w
JazzFeathers It is indeed so interesting to see Tolkien's major work filter into this story. A bit like it happened with The Hobbit. It's so sweet that he shared his creations with his children, in a way that they could receive. 2w

I really loved reading these letters each day. It's amazing that Tolkien was able to keep it up for so many years for his children. I loved the fun adventures Father Christmas described with his trusty, chaotic North Polar Bear. The drawings were spectacular & magical. I can only imagine the excitement the kids would have each time they got to read a new letter and the story inside
Thanks @Daisey & @JazzFeathers for hosting this #TolkienChristmas

Daisey I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! They are magical! 3w
SpeculativeFemale I always felt like this collection gave a little glimpse into a different part of Tolkien's mind and heart than his novels. His love for his family just shines through the letters. 3w
BookmarkTavern Lovely! 💖 3w
JazzFeathers Glad you enjoyed the read 😁 I do find this reading magical. And somehoe it becomes even more so every time I read it. 2w

Thank you to @Daisey and @JazzFeathers for hosting #TolkienChristmas again this year! I looked forward to reading my Father Christmas letter each day, and Tolkien‘s drawings & the antics of North Polar Bear were such a joy! This year I bought the Centenary edition of the book instead of relying on a library copy, and I‘m so glad I did (pictured here with the closest I have to NPB). This may become an annual tradition for me! #FellowshipofTolkien

Daisey I‘m so glad to hear you enjoyed it this much! It‘s become an annual tradition for me as well, although I spend varying amounts of time with it from year to year. 3w
JazzFeathers That photo is absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing it. It warms my heart. And so happy that you enjoyed the readalong. It has indeed become a tradition for this little group of Tolkien enthusiasts 😁 2w
