#FellowshipOfTolkien #MedievalTolkien

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? 😁

#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.

Werewolves?! OK, so I ended up going down a rabbit hole about this. They were actually wolves that contained evil spirits/demons and they did Sauron's bidding. There was no shape-shifting to or from a human. And apparently, it didn't register when I read the Lord of the Rings when Gandalf mentioned them. I'm finding this book really interesting and wish I'd read it sooner.

@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 😁

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! 3w
bookishbitch @Daisey Oh, that one looks good too! 3w

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. 4w
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. 4w
