Fell down the Tolkien hobbit hole a long time ago and found comfort in the lore, the adaptations, and the magic of Middle-earth.

Love this cover. Very nostalgic for me. I’ve been considering picking up a copy of the permabound hardcover version of this book.

Yesterday was a moment of redemption for me…3 years ago, I made a Chantilly birthday cake for my wife that failed in all the aesthetic ways. Yesterday, it all came together (not perfect, but I’ll take it!). A then-versus-now comparison:

So, VERY much incorporated into daily life 😂…I see nothing wrong with this.

Plus, a rotating selection that rests at my piano (currently, ‘The Art of the Hobbit’ and previously ‘The Letters from Father Christmas’). And the “overflow” shelf, these books are no less loved and will find their place. ❤️

I don’t have a dedicated Tolkien bookcase yet, but I have some of my favorites displayed in our living room built-ins…Tolkien incorporated into daily life. 1/3

Took a stroll through YouTube this morning and got sucked into listening to this masterpiece again, from @bardofarda.bsky.social… now, it’ll be stuck in my brain all day and it should be for all of you, as well. #luinelle #Tolkien

Thanks for sharing! I know I’ve seen a few of their works, but wasn’t really familiar with this artist. The Valar depictions and Shire landscapes are amazing. 🤩

Absolutely! Same for me. There is ALOT to unpack in that chapter and I was definitely not ready to fully appreciate it then.

It’s the “coming back” to Tolkien’s works that have become the most gratifying, over the years.

Re-reading the Book of Lost Tales with friends (first time cover-to-cover)…currently in ‘The Cottage of Lost Play’ and I cannot escape it (nor do I want to).

The revelation that the new ‘The Collected Poems of JRR Tolkien’ contains the poem (and fantastic Scull & Hammond analysis)…🤌

Waking up and thinking of Théoden, is all.

“Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young.”
-LotR, Book 5, Chapter 5

Book 5, Chapter 5, to be exact…

@bsky.app At least give me a few minutes to edit after posting…I’m rarely going to get it right the first time! 😅

Loved it! Informative and irreverent (my favorite combination). Give it a listen and a follow!

Thanks @silmarilleanne.bsky.social @davidthengoldo.bsky.social for the insights and hilarity.
@the-neej.bsky.social for making this, and happily being the Ringmaster of Chaos.
