Tolkein READING Day

For Everyone who is a fan of Tolkien and his works:

HAPPY TOLKIEN READING DAY

Yes, that is correct, March 25 is the super exciting and well waited for day for worshiping and obsessively re-reading all of your favorite Tolkien works!

Quick background, for the newbs who don't know,

Tolkien Reading Day was started in 2003 by the Tolkien Society.

March 25 was chosen as the day in honor of the fall of Sauron from The Lord of The Rings.

So,

How do we celebrate?

READ

and force your friends to read!
And if you come upon anyone who hasn't heard of Tolkien...
THROW YOUR LOTR BOOK AT THEM!

They will eventually thank you...

Alright. Now, celebrating in style. I suggest building a reading fort, a comfy-cozy hobbit hole of your own to read the day away. You don't have to ever leave.

Here is an option/direction for an acceptable reading fort/ comfy-cozy hobbit hole.

Just in case you were unsure of yourself.

And here is a example of how you will appear in your new reading fort/ comfy-cozy hobbit hole. And let me just say, you look good. Congratulations. You're awesome!

Lastly
A List of things you will need to never have to leave your hobbit hole and Tolkien books (unless you need a bathroom > you could always build your fort in the bathroom...just saying. and then another reason you might have to read is to restock up on the supplies I am about to list for you... just saying it could happen. I'm sorry)

1. Pillow.
   One that is not already part of the fort, you need one for your beautiful comfort.
2. Hot Chocolate
   Because yea.
3. Earl Grey Tea
   Because Captain Picard. And sometimes hot chocolate isn't enough. And other tea is overrated.
4. Comfort Food
   That food being what ever food gives you comfort. Personally, my favorites are: Gold Fish crackers, Nutella, and Dove dark chocolate.
5. Blanky
   Nuff. Said.
   
   NOW. ONE RULE:
   
   DON'T PANIC.

 But, actually. The rule is:
LEAVE YOUR PHONE OUT.

The day is all about Tolkien, you don't need your phone. You need your Tolkien. And your comfy- cozy hobbit hole.

Enjoy your reading. 

And Remember:
Not all those who wander are lost.

I MISSED JRR TOLKIEN DAY

I am so sorry,

seriously though,
I am seriously ashamed I forgot to make a post about this. I had been so excited,
I didn't forget the day though.
I celebrated by watching The Lord Of The Ring and re-blogging The Hobbit all over tumblr.

But I forgot.

So i am going to try to make this awesome.

by the way, JRR Tolkien day was January 3, just in case you were wondering.

Well, to belatedly celebrate I thought we could nostalgically go over the members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Nostalgically because, and i think i can speak for everyone who as seen the movies and/or read the book, that these characters are apart of us.

SO, over the next few Lord Of The Ring themed posts I hope you enjoy these characters as much as I do and maybe you will even cry over them and love them as much as I do.
