This one made me giggle because it‘s so silly (obviously had to share immediately)

I can't believe I almost missed Tolkien Reading Day! But here I am to raise a toast to our favourite professor!
My friends make fun of me because I often say, “This is one of my favourite Tolkien quotes,“ and they say, “They are all your favourite quotes!“ LOL! I suppose they are right.
But this quote would make any reader's heart sing!
Happy Tolkien Reading Day!
Busy week this week so I‘m playing catch up. I think it would be cool to be a Valkyrie! I couldn‘t think of any books other than Norse mythology with Valkyries (except for Marvel comics), so I chose the tagged book as it is an all time favorite. #Two4Tuesday
“This book is largely concerned with Hobbits, and from its pages a reader may discover much of their character and little of their history.”
One-Volume book, it‘ll be the biggest book I‘ve read when finished. 1,031 pages not including all the Appendices and extra stuff. 1/3 of the way through.

I‘m all set for the extended edition lord of the rings marathon… turned up early to make sure I got the seat I wanted 💪🏼 (the seats at the Astor vary wildly in comfort - I don‘t think they are the original 1936 seats but maybe they are?)
Maybe should have worn shoes that didn‘t clash with the carpet… (please excuse the weird tan the top of my feet are currently rocking… genuinely perplexed by the tan lines I have)
For today's #NewYearNewBooks prompt, what better example than JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books for #involvesjourney and pictured are my dad's collection of said books he gifted me.

I‘m off to an extended edition lord of the rings marathon next weekend - and I‘m so excited!
I see the trilogy on an almost yearly basis in cinema - and I‘m so chuffed that it‘s back at The Astor - not just because it‘s the last standing, single screen movie palace in Melbourne but because they always play the extended editions (Lido may have the comfier seats but the theatrical edition don‘t have Legolas & Gimli trying to out drink each other)
Snagged this gem during a small book haul today. All three books in one volume in about 1200 pages with color illustrations and maps.
I have to admit that I‘ve never read the LOTR books so this will me my first journey through.
Watch this documentary for free on Tubi. It‘s about some of the real places and events that inspired Tolkien to write some of his greatest works.

My goal for the year was 75 so I‘m pretty happy with my 76. The tagged was one of my favorites ❤️😁
New Year‘s Eve we always Marathon a series of movies. This year is Lord of the Rings. Sadly we don‘t have The Hobbit. Hoping our nephew does and we will just watch it out of order. 🫣 #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
I have not done one of these before, but @monalyisha has suggested this for #AuldLangSpine, so I thought, why not :)
Hi @JamieArc , I am Anna, 36 years old, living in Switzerland. I read mostly as an escape from my very busy and hectic life as a sports journalist and mum of a very active 4-years-old. My reading is all over the place: bookclub-reads, cozy crimes, stuff I stumbled over on Litsy. I am also a big sucker for books about books.
When I was 12, Santa brought me this huge single volume, illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings. I read it front to back three times in a row in a single year. 💖 It‘s still one of my most treasured possessions.
#SundayFunday If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. And if you don‘t, have a happy Sunday! And remember to tag me in your posts!
Enjoy this AI image I ‘imagined‘ of Gollum looking at rings in a jewelry store🤣

For my fellow #TolkienChristmas #FellowshipofTolkien buddy readers: I had completely forgotten about this Christmas album, but was reminded of it today. With songs such as “Christmas in the Shire” and “A Merryless Christmas,” it‘s hilarious and exactly what I needed during a frustrating workday. I had to share—I hope it brightens your day as well! #TolkienChristmas
I have read this before but it had been more than 30 years. So while I remembered the basic idea, I did not recall any of the details. I absolutely loved the #LoTRChapteraDay pace and I definitely appreciated it more than when I read it as a teenager. All the ⭐️ Can‘t wait to read it again! #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
#LotRChapterADay #FellowshipOfTolkien
Sorry for the delay, guys. It's been a busy week and I'm still on the Road with the Rohirrim! But I'll try to catchup with weekend.
In the meantime, here is the schedule of the Appendices.
And what could we ever read in December? 😏
Finished this today as part of the #LotRChapterADay Read-along. This is my favorite book. I found that breaking it down into a chapter a day made me appreciate it more. Having finally read The Silmarillion earlier this year added depth to this reading of LotR. Tolkien is a master story-teller and world builder. The illustrations in this edition showcase his ability to share his vision of Middle Earth. This edition is a must for Tolkien fans.
I‘m all set to start Book 6-even have my new favorite sweatshirt 😉🤣
It‘s hard to believe we‘re almost finished with this. I‘ve loved doing the #LoTRChapteraDay #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
Diving into Book Five after a little break in the #LotRChapterADay Read-along
I may be late, and left my handkerchiefs behind… but I finally made it to Book 4! #LOTRChapteraDay #FellowshipOfTolkien

#SpecialEdition
The 50th anniversary one volume addition is in my personal library.
I have loved getting back into this story and really like the pace of #LoTRChapteraDay. On to Book Two! #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
Yay! #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapteraDay I was able to catch up just now. Gandalf is back! We are safe for now as everyone rests. We meet Arwen who Strider seems to have a connection with. Bilbo is also present and they feast. @JazzFeathers @Daisey
I couldn‘t sleep so I came to read #LotRChapteraDay #FellowshipofTolkien out on the couch to deal with my heartburn in a sitting position. The cats joined me. 🥰 #CatsofLitsy Our Fellowship leaves (after Breakfast.. of course) to continue their journey. The hobbits learn more of the Black Riders from their new companion. Strider tells them a Middle Earth story, and they find themself in danger. Frodo uses the ring 😱. @Daisey @JazzFeathers
Yesterdays chapter for #LotRChapteraDay #FellowshipofTolkien we have Strider join the party. While everyone‘s not super sure he is trustworthy strider himself learns that Gandalf is a mutual friend of everyone in the fellowship. My Gandalf wanted to photobomb today. #catsoflitsy 😻🥰💛
Today in #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday our travelers take a break from the trail to eat, and relax. However, they are still on edge that others are tailing them and Frodo goes by an alias. Some are suspicious that he is not who he says he is. @Daisey @JazzFeathers
I did read #FellowshipofTolkien yesterday #LotRingsChapteraDay I honestly don‘t remember Tom and his upbeat, always singing, character. I was surprised that Frodo without question showed him the ring. Plus was concerned after when Tom took it away from him and Frodo had to check it was the same one. I‘m not sure if Tom is a good or bad character after that. Are the hobbits trapped in another snare? @Daisey @JazzFeathers
“When Mr Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.”
#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
It‘s been 30+ years since I read this. After reading The Hobbit for book club a couple months ago I knew I wanted to read LOTR again and was excited to see #LoTRChapterADay posted. So I‘d like to join in. Got the forward and prologue done and looking forward to chapter 1 tomorrow. #fellowshipofTolkien @Daisey
Yay! #FellowshipofTolkien #LotRChapteraDay is back on! Today (30 minutes before midnight) I was able to read the Notes and Foreword provided in my edition. It just makes me appreciate what I‘m about to read more on how Tolkien revised A LOT to give us the best of his work. Plus the patience he must have had is commendable. Ready for the prologue tomorrow. 😊💛 @Daisey @JazzFeathers #CatsofLitsy (This is Earl. He is my nieces after being fixed)
