Happy Tolkien Reading Day!
Did u know, I reviewed the new Tolkien biographical movie! YouTube.com/watch?v=B0PYO2YI2WM and I was able to bust out my uber-nerdy atlas of Tolkien.
Here's a quick blurb about what it is & why it's today:
Tolkien Reading Day is held on the 25th of March each year. Why? It's the date of the downfall of the Lord of the Rings (Sauron) and the fall of Barad-dûr. It was first brought up in 2002 by Sean Kirst, columnist of Syracuse local paper "The Post-Standard". Since 2003, it's been organised by the Tolkien Society to encourage fans to celebrate and promote the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien by reading favourite passages. Schools, museums and libraries host their own Tolkien Reading Day events. Here's a photo of my book:
Can't believe Tolkien was a flat-earther

Love Jay 💚

Ultimate boy has to be Farimir. Like Bruce Hart he's the brother of a legend but never quite fulfilled his potential. But he did manage to step over a jobbing Sauron to make a point.
Grima Wormtongue has to be a boy. He’s sneaking around always causing trouble. And then his sort of face turn in the return of the king extended edition.
Hold on, my birthday is tolkien reading day?
I'd have to think about a full stable, but Tom Bombadil is in it for sure.
Wait isn't he like, a god! Putting on the ring had no effect on him! 😆 Film boy deffo
Lurtz is my main boy, cool and intimidating but ultimately jobbed to Aragorn 😉
Which one is Lurtz? 😃
Theoden because he looks like Jimmy Del Ray’s dad.
Ha ha! Hopefully his new hip didn't stop him from gyrating
