Aug 31, 2006 - my Tolkien library
I joined a fantasy book club and ordered a set of 6 books by Tolkien. It has The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, The Simarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Book of Lost Tales Part One and Two. It's all 6 for $63.99. I already have The Hobbit, but I'll donate my extra copy to the public library or save it for a gift.
I received The Lord of The Rings Sketchbook by Alan Lee and Good Fairies, Bad Fairies by Brian Froud. I perused the faery and sketch books, they are so beautiful with embossed binding and glossy pages, I love them! I'm very excited about starting my Tolkien library, I plan to buy one copy of every book I can get my hands on. :P I have some excellant links to do research with and to find what I want to add to my collection. tolkienlibrary.com and tolkienbooks.net. Doesn't take much to make me happy.
Stats: First Time Visitors - 52!!! Wow, thank you!

Aug 01, 2006 - Special Editions
I just read that Aug. 29 a 2 disk special edition of each LOTR films hits the stores. It has the theatrical and extended editions of the films, with 85 unseen added minutes. I'm giddy. lol It will be awhile before I can afford the new editions, but I'm patient. I joined a book club and ordered The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings Sketchbook, A Tolkien Miscellany *grin*, Good Fairies Bad Fairies, and Cell by Steven King. I can't wait to get them!
I leave you with some Elvish from the LOTR films and an Elvish name generator.
