One criticism I’m reading about this season is that it feels like there is an episode missing between each episode, and I think this is very valid. I wish the showrunners had more time to tell their stories. I also wish fewer stories were being told at once. #TheRingsOfPower

There are people who ask “what’s the point of reading” and the best answer remains “because it’s FUN.” Fiction is a pleasure. Learning is a pleasure. Reading is not a chore but our greatest escape from the pressures and perils of living.

I don't usually keep the recent HarperCollins #Tolkien series on my work shelf but wanted to see what they looked like together. Rather splendid I'd say 😁 now all we need are the Perilous Realm titles published in their expanded forms to match, make that happen @HarperCollins

Destroying Isengard seems mean, but sometimes the ents justify the mean.

J. R. R. Tolkien was not only a skilled storyteller but a master linguist. He coined words and names like hobbit, Quickbeam, Smeagol, Smaug. But where did they come from? How did he coin them? Let's find out! 🧵
