East of Eden presented by Hinge is wild like did Hinge’s marketing exec not read the book before making this decision 🤣

Tolkien based the Elves’ title “Fair Folk” on the Welsh Tylwyth Teg, “the Beautiful Kindred”. My new “slow” Lord of the Rings re-read explores Gildor’s company, myth, fairylore and Tolkien’s Welsh imagination. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🧝🏻‍♀️ Free opening; full essay for subscribers: dimitrafimi.substack.com/p/the-slow-l...

‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.’ Today, we’re bringing out the first edition of Tolkien’s The Hobbit 🐉 It started off with a single sentence and became a well-loved children’s book, complete with illustrations and decorations from the author himself.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

I love revisiting a first book/episode after finishing a series. You catch so many more things, having gotten to know the people. And you can see who they were after learning who they become ❤️

À la certain discourse, platforming an author who openly admits to investing in a company that is widely known to be complicit in genocide is not “a diversity of opinions” - it is also complicity
