Oh my goodness, l love this story! It made me lough! It's so witty and still not only it uses all the classic tropes of the stories of dragons and knight, it also foreshadow Tolkien's Middle Earth. I could not help but thinking to the Shire.

Plan for tonight.

I'm behind one chapter with the #YearOfTolkien readalong. Couldn't really read yesterday night (it was a day at work). Let's see whether l can catch up. I'm loving Farmer Giles of Ham.

I can't find my English edition of Earthsea which includes just the quartet. I'll keep searching but in the meanwhile the ltalian omnibus chunkster will have to do.

bookaholic1 I love big books and I cannot lie, lol. 📚📚❤❤ 7y
2BR02B The Italian for Earthsea is "Terramare"? I like it! 7y
JazzFeathers @bookaholic1 😄 But it isn't very handy. 7y

Daisey That Le Guin might be unwieldy, but it is beautiful! I‘m also technically a day behind on Tolkien since Farmer Giles was longer than I realized and yesterday was busy. I finished it this evening and really enjoyed it! 7y
batsy Very cool Italian edition! So huge. 7y
batsy Is it all six (I think?) in one instead of just the "original" quartet? 7y
JazzFeathers @batsy Yes, it's all six books. Very handy to own... but not that handy to read! 7y

Really really liked this chapter (catching up from yesterday). I loved learning about Galadriel and Celeborn. This is a fantastic couple.
But l also loved learning more about the creation of the rings of power and the wars they caused.

Gollum's chapter is truly outstanding. And knowing more than Tolkien saya here let me see so much more story than he actually tells.

I've listen to Tolkien reading the chapter. Absolutely fantastic 😍
I also watched the episode from the film. All praise goes to Andy Serkis, such a brilliant actor.

I love the reference to rifle game being ancient and scared. Read about it lately. Fascinating subject.

Squeezed in some reading today including chapter 3 of The Hobbit for the #lotrchaperaday C3 is a bit of a non-starter really, although it sets the scene for Elven help later in the book. Also read a bit more of Catherine Mayer's 50 Fr Women which is an eye-opening read!

The books above are all sitting on my #tbr, very excited to start The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu once I've finished my other non fiction reads, it looks fab!
