Thanks so much to @Daisey for having created the schedule.
And sorry for being this late in posting it. I still hope some of you will be able to join..
Life has being quite hectic, but I'm working hard in getting back into reading regularly.
So here we go! 💪
What has everyone been up to? 😁
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 readers, I‘m waiting on my copy to arrive in order to plan a timeline, but our next read will be The Fall of Arthur. @JazzFeathers and I hope to start at the beginning of February, but we can push it back if needed for interested readers to find copies.
Although I am tagging my entire Tolkien list today, please comment if you‘re interested in being tagged for this book specifically.

Can't say Pearl was my cup of tea. But in the last part, when the beautiful city is described, it reminded me of the seven gates of Gondolin, on the one hand, a d of the city of the Valar when Earendil arrived on the other.
I finished rereading Sir Orfeo this morning with breakfast. I enjoyed this poem and as before I noted some similarities to the story of Aragorn as a king returning to his land as a man out of the wild and unrecognized.

I decided to take a break from #MedievalTolkien to finish the Silmarillion proper today.
The last chapters of the story are always so melancholy.
Having read longer versions of The Fall of Gondolin, so much seems to be missing here. Yet, the sense of an epic story is there, even in this short summary.
Malcolm Guite‘s most recent “Spell in the Library” features Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! He reads a passage from the Folio Society edition and compares it with Tolkien‘s translation, and also brings in some of the Middle English.

School is taking a lot of my time right now, so I feel I haven‘t been much of a host for our Tolkien reading. I do always love the vocabulary in Tolkien‘s writing, so a word post for today!
