It seems like I do a reread of Lord of the Rings every few years. I always find something new to savor.
I will also reread a series sometimes if there‘s a new book and it‘s been a while since I read the last one.
This year I‘m not planning to reread anything so I can work on my TBR, but you never know!

I got a new sword and scabbard. It was a gift from my husband. It is Éomer's sword Gúthwinë. I already have Éowyn's sword. They happen to be siblings. I like to pretend I am also a rider of Rohan. It is called fantasy after all. 😏
pickI won‘t add anything new to the discussion, so I won‘t try. It reminds me of the adventure novels popular w/ boys in the Victorian era, but fantasy. I want to thank Christopher Tolkien for taking his father to task about remembering the small details of his bedtime story so that we could all benefit from it. The original NPR broadcast was stellar & should get a listen, if you‘re so inclined. Know what Aragon‘s shirt is made of? Husband material.
pickIt hurts a little to say goodbye to the Hobbits again. I really felt with Frodo and at the same time I was so proud of him. Loved the others, too. And there are even female characters! When I first read it six years ago, I didn't really pay attention to this. This is how we change as we grow older and this way we can find new things in old beloved books. ❤
pickThis series is everything that is right with epic fantasy.

pick3.5✨ The face of Aragon and sleeping cats. This was a tough read for me because I watched the movie before I read it. There was so much more detail, battles, and history. It was a lot placed in one book. This isn‘t my favorite but I‘m glad I can say I finally read the Lord of the Rings series! Yay! #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
Starting to catch up! Hopefully, I will finish Return of the King by Friday, and then Anne of Green Gables or #Naturalitsy Ultra Processed People. @Andrew65
Let‘s try this again. 😅 #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers
pickOne ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness, where they know they should actually go to sleep but even though they have read this story many times before somehow can‘t put the book down, bind them.
Reread done. Loved it as much as always.
