Repost for @Daisey

Both @JazzFeathers and I have been busy and not great readalong hosts so we‘re not starting any Tolkien new reads until next year. However, it‘s become a tradition for us to reread this book each December, and we‘d love to have you join us.

This is the same schedule as last year. Please comment on the original post if you‘d like to be added to the tag list for this book.

Daisey Thanks for sharing! 3d

This is the same schedule as last year. I‘m tagging my entire Tolkien list today, but please comment if you would like to be on my tag list for this specific book.

I finished my audio reread a few days ago, but this morning I revisited the postscript to more closely consider Garth‘s discussion of the way writers wrote about WWI and specifically its influence on Tolkien‘s work.

This quote emphasizes one of the key aspects of Tolkien‘s work that I love. Many of his characters are simple people who just keep going and make a difference in their own small ways.

wordslinger42 I wasn‘t able to join in for this one, but I‘m looking forward to reading it at some point! 3w
Daisey @wordslinger42 It‘s a really good one! I‘ll look forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you get to read it. 3w
CatLass007 I learned a lot from this book. I‘m going to ask a question that you‘ve probably already answered, but I just can‘t remember. Is there a tag list for this group or should I just use the search function to look for posts? Please write it in big red letters and stamp it on my forehead. 1w

Daisey @CatLass007 We do usually have a tag list, but I didn‘t do a very good job of keeping track of who wanted to be tagged for this book and also posted very little. 1w
CatLass007 Okay. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Please consider me on the tag list for everything. I have a lot of Tolkien on audio, but I learned when we read the Silmarillion that having both the audio and the print version of certain books is soooo much better. I liked Letters from Father Christmas last year but that is definitely one best read in print so I‘m gifting it to myself this year. 1w
Daisey I will and thanks for mentioning Father Christmas. It reminded me to post about rereading for this year. 5d

I found this quote from Verlyn Flieger enlightening as it makes such an interesting comparison between a return from war and a return from Faerie.

After watching Rings of Power, I had to go back to the source.

Fellow Tolkien Readers,
How are we doing on the readalong? I apologize that life has gotten in the way again, so I‘m a bit behind as well as not sharing much. I just finished chapter 6 today, ending with Tolkien going off to war and wondering if he will ever see Edith again.

#FellowshipOfTolkien #audiobook #nonfiction

BarbaraJean I thought the early chapters were so interesting, seeing Tolkien‘s early work and ideas, and the development of his mythology. I finished chapter 8 today and this part is a bit of a slog! The descriptions of battle maneuvers, etc. are pretty dry. 1mo
Daisey @BarbaraJean I‘ve really enjoyed this reread so far. Now, I‘ll be curious to see if it slows down for me in the next few chapters. 1mo
BarbaraJean I‘m interested to hear what others think—it may be just me! I had a hard time picturing the various areas in my head! 1mo
