So beautifully written !! I have read the Hobbit, the Fellowship, and now I’m currently reading the two towers. I’m so obsessed with middle-earth, the woods, forests, mountains, rivers, and previously stuck in Helm’s Deep. Whenever I come back from the middle earth. Trees are so beautiful, nature is stunning. Today, I am to set out again with Frodo, Sam and Gollum towards the Teeth of Mordor!

Thank you for your post Brianne. I am very excited for Bilbo’s birthday when we can once again start reading the Lord of the Rings!

Hello Breanne,

I finished The Hobbit a month ago. Last read it and TLOR in HS. Looking forward to it. About how much do you read in a week?

We host an annual Hobbit day every year complete with all the meals, a movie marathon, and our good friends. One of my favorite days of the year!

I finished up the audiobook version of the Hobbit a couple of days ago and I’ve been anxious to share with you. It was a wonderful book! I love how much of the lore and backstory I understand now that I hadn’t quite understood before. I’ve already put Fellowship (read by Andy Serkis) on hold, but I don’t think it will be ready in time to begin the read-through.

I’m thinking a nice nature walk on Hobbit Day, with some trilogy action.

I am fresh back from a short trip to Birmingham to visit the various places where Tolkien lived so am ready, really ready, to read The Lord of the Rings once more!

My kids and I have done lembas before but I would like to do other types of foods that are inspired by Lord of the rings. I have to look for recipes.

Pre-gaming Tolkien with Tolkien. YES. I can't wait either! There's so many who are reading it for the first time this year 🥳

This will be my second read through! I buddy read it with my husband years ago and I’m working on convincing him to at least listen through them with me this year, it’s a quest worthy of attempting together 😁

It looks like it falls on a Sunday this year, so I imagine after church my family will enjoy lots of food and lots of rest -- I'll have to plan a Hobbit-food sort of meal for us! If the weather is nice maybe it'll also be pull-out-the-dead-garden day... Samwise would be proud. 😁

Samwise would definitely be proud! That sounds like an absolutely lovely day. And keep an eye on this space, I usually share a post of our full Hobbit Day menus complete with links and recipes! I love that you're incorporating rest as part of yours ❤️
