The exiled realms of the north; I’d love to see Arvedui’s story, wars with Angmar and the Witch-King, more Círdan, more Glorfindel.

Also the tale of The Children of Húrin.

ONE PLEASE

I’ve had a copy from the library for a couple of months! I need a copy for my collection too.

Yep, I think pasta sauce is a great way of preserving. First batch was roasted toms, onion, garlic and fresh basil.

Moments of respite with new strangers and friends; generally with fireside accounts of recent happenings and counsel, a meal, sometimes a pause from immediate danger, and a replenishment of supplies before the journey forward.

I have an abundance of garden tomatoes that will pair well with that

Atm: Finishing Silm read from late last year and continuing with Book of Lost Tales1&2. Morgoth’s Ring and Peoples are already a permanent fixture to my bedside table this year 😆

Yearly read of LotR, this time alongside the HoM-e volumes. NoM-e because new paperback and have only read sections.

I’ve been terrible at engaging on posts because of the ux. Algorithm is a bit off unless I follow starter packs - compared to Threads my algorithm was amazing for awesome chats. Felt very much like “Strangers from distant lands, friends of old: you've been summoned here” at all times 😂

Such a great passage and scene. When the shadow comes back over my heart sinks, but we know the shadow is only a passing thing.

Doughloafinwë 😂

The Loaf of Fëanor, Yeasterlings…

These are so good David!!

DOUGHLOFINWË AND FINDOUGHRÁTO I am cackling. Thank you TJ. Undoughliant was also in my notes list!!

Middle-earth themed bakery is a MUST.

I loved reading this Emma!

Re: cozy vibes and “the most warm and delicious light” at the Cottage - I am always reminded of the feeling our four beloved hobbits have when approaching the house of Tom Bombadil for the first time ✨
