Tolkien's World: Paintings of Middle-earth | J. R. R. Tolkien

@ImperfectCJ I meant, with everything in me, to email you as soon as I got to school Monday to tell you my schedule. It has been a crazy week, finalizing grades, parent/teacher conferences that lasted late. Please forgive me and my forgetfulness.

ImperfectCJ No worries at all! I know you have a lot going on lately. Next time I'm in WNC, we'll connect :-) 7d

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, he wrote such beautiful lines. 7d

Tolkien's World: Paintings of Middle-earth | J. R. R. Tolkien

So, before we start our new reads with the #FellowshipOfTolkien l want to try and finish at least the Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. With both books, I'm not so far from the end, so...

And soon, the #DraculaDaily will pick up again where l left off last year, and I'd like to finish that too.

It's disgracefully hot here in Italy. Let's see what l manage.

Here we are!!! 😁

@Daisey and l have been thinking what to read next with the #FellowshipOfTolkien.

There are a few option we'd like to explore.
Here is what we have come up with for a Fall reading.
1. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
2. The Fall of Numenor
3. Tolkien and the Great War

These are really three different path we might thread.
1. Tolkien's medieval work (so much to read!)
2. New publications
3. Books about Tolkien

What you fancy?😁

CatLass007 Please continue to tag me with these buddy reads. I don‘t have any opinion on what to read next. 8mo

wordslinger42 I‘m not interested in The Fall of Numenor, but will happily join in for the others whenever you read them! 8mo

BethM I‘m in. I def want to read sir gwain but that‘s specific to the story lol 8mo

BookwormAHN I'm good with any of them 😺 8mo

Daisey I am happy to read any of these, but my first pick would be reread Sir Gawain, which is usually published with translations of The Pearl & Sir Orfeo, with the group followed by some other translations that have been out a while that I‘ve yet to read. 8mo

Desha I‘m interested in Tolkien and the Great War…I‘ve been wanting to read it for a long while! Thank you for organizing this read along!! 💗 8mo

Roary47 I‘m game for whatever. The first selection looks the most interesting. 8mo

BarbaraJean I‘d be interested in any of these! I‘m less interested in Sir Gawain, since I finally got around to reading it (along with The Pearl and Sir Orfeo) not that long ago, but it would also be hard to resist reading it with the group 😁 8mo

TheAromaofBooks This fall is looking crazy busy for me, but let me know what the group decides and I will see if I can work it in!! 8mo

JazzFeathers @Daisey It looks like Sir Gawain is taking the table 😂 8mo

Daisey @JazzFeathers @TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean @Roary47 @Desha @BookwormAHN @BethM @wordslinger42 @CatLass007 @AllDebooks I‘m working on a schedule for Sir Gawain, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo with the plan to start September 1. 8mo

wordslinger42 @Daisey That sounds great to me! I‘m looking forward to reading with all of you! 😊 8mo

BethM Awesome I‘ll make sure to pack it on vacay! 8mo

CatLass007 Excellent! 8mo

BookwormAHN Sounds great 😺 8mo

AllDebooks @Daisey great, I'll get my copies sorted 😊 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @Daisey - Thank you for the update!! I'll see where I can jump in!! 8mo

BarbaraJean @Daisey Sounds good! I may not re-read but I‘d really like to discuss! I may just skim/review to refresh my memory as we go 😊 8mo

BethM His quote is Greta 1y

JazzFeathers @BethM It is. The entire passage is so good actually. There are lines that echo what Tolkien write in the dialogue between Sam and Frodo in their pause from the climbing of Cirith Ungol and I fancy Tolkien was writing that part when also writing to Christopher away at war, his art and his life intertwining. 1y

Here‘s the first in a set of 6 reading challenges I created for my library system. Each book is related to a fact about the author. As an extra challenge, discover the facts! #ReadingChallenge #ReadingChallenge2024

Sapphire Wow! Now that‘s a fun and novel way to do a challenge! 1y

Sapphire Can‘t wait to see what the other challenges are! 1y

Daisey This is fun! I had to look up a couple of the books that I didn‘t recognize, but I have an idea of the connections to Tolkien. #FellowshipOfTolkien (edited) 1y

Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion | Christina Scull, Wayne G Hammond

I‘ve got two words to share today. This one is actually from the Lord of the Rings Reader‘s Companion rather than LotR itself. Tolkien explains in a letter how Frodo‘s actions at the Crack of Doom had been foreshadowed or adumbrated earlier in the story.

CBee Very cool word and one I‘ve never heard before! 1y

JazzFeathers Oh, that sounds very like Italian "adombrare", which may sometime mean the same thing. It comes from "ombra", "Shadow". 1y

Daisey @JazzFeathers Interesting! 1y

Not many notes for this chapter, just a lap full of pets who don‘t think I should get up to finish this morning‘s housework or get ready to leave for church.
