we're all mad here
Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: Andy Serkis absolutely wrecked me with his narration of LOTR in all the best ways. I said this in my mini review for this month’s wrap-up, but my favorite thing in the world with reading is to not read a summary for something and make up what the book…

ICYMI, I’ve hopped on the what are you reading WWW Wednesday posts, which are hosted by Taking on a World of Words, and my normal Wednesday posts, usually discussions, are moving to Thursdays. I somehow managed to accomplish almost all of my goals? Who is this person who adamantly refuses to let the world get the better of…

I feel like we’ve really been working straight toward this point for pretty much the entire month now. I think I did a good job of keeping the Morgoth talk low in the first week, but it derailed real quick last week, and well. As yesterday’s post makes evident, Sauron is not the greatest evil…

(I would like to note that I wrote this post before the new teaser trailer came out, and I’m even less impressed than I was when I wrote this, which actually reads as kind of hopeful now because we’re really just doing Isildur vs Sauron, and I am not here for it.) I will be…

I will absolutely be the first person to admit that I’ve never liked Boromir. Not in the movies, not in the books, and not as I’ve gotten older. And I know a lot of people who have either come to really love Boromir as they’ve grown older and spent more time with LOTR, or who…

ICYMI, I’ve hopped on the what are you reading WWW Wednesday posts, which are hosted by Taking on a World of Words, and my normal Wednesday posts, usually discussions, are moving to Thursdays. Not gonna lie, the week did not get easier after my very late WWW post last week, which is why I’m drafting this post on…

Yes, there are only five topics for today’s TTT, but I just reviewed the audiobook last week, so I don’t want to overdo it. There should still be some surprises for those of you who may end up listening to the audiobook! And in case you were wondering if I loved it, the answer is…
