Let's Celebrate Tolkien's Legacy!

Not all those who wander are lost.

In honour of J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday, we're kicking off the new year with a giveaway worthy of Middle-earth itself! 🌟

I’m reading Lord of the Rings for the first time. This Tolkien dude is pretty damn good.

Here’s me, a HUGE LOTR fan that hasn’t made it through The Silmarillion yet. That’s going to change in 2025. 💕

Every year on this date I raise my glass to honor the memory of J. R. R. Tolkien.

Dear professor, your books mean a lot to me. May your legacy live on forever 🥂

My dad introduced me to the world of Tolkien's creation, with a dog-eared copy of the Hobbit while reading to me and my brother sitting in his lap while on the grass under a shade tree. I have loved reading and fantasy worlds ever since. Thanks, dad and Professor Tolkien!

I will be out later, but I'm sure the Professor won't mind if I toast his birthday a little early. So:

The Professor!

Happy birthday to the incomparable J.R.R. Tolkien.
There’s no author I have read & re-read more, nor any author who has had such a profound effect on me.His characters have shaped who I am,losing myself in the lush geography of middle earth has quite often,saved me.
Thank you for everything Sir.

‘Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.’ #LOTR

Some of the books and journal volumes on #Tolkien I’ve authored/edited/contributed to. Without him (most of) my academic career wouldn’t exist! Thank you Professor #Tolkien!

J.R.R. Tolkien went so hard on his weird hobby that it became a defining moment in the literary history of the 20th century. May he be an inspiration to us all.

Happy Birthday, JRRT!

Jedi on the Enterprise would get so confused by all the technology. They’d try to Force open a door, but it’s just a sliding one. Worf’s standing there like, "...there's a sensor."

Could I ask you for a favour? 🤩

Would you be so kind as to promote this newsletter on J.R.R. Tolkien’s birthday?

A newsletter is as “old school” as it gets - it just needs an email to work.

Thank you very much for your time - and belatedly: Happy New Year!
