Like Bilbo, our 1st edition of The Hobbit has been ‘There and Back Again’! In 89 years at the UL, it’s seen multiple class marks, locations & exhibitions. What adventure should it embark on next? Drop your Tolkien/UL puns below, ready for the eleventy-first anniversary (in 22 years!). #HobbitDay

Realised I never posted this Rivendell drawing I did from my Lord of the Rings phase last year.
a black and white drawing of a grand house built against a cliff with waterfalls, some blue colour was added for added lighting and to suggest evening.

Daily bunny no.3446 is not left-handed
Bunnies re-enact the duel between Inigo and Wesley in "The Princess Bride", with a masked bunny fighting against a dashing shaggy bunny with a gold sword. The masked bunny is cornered, near the edge of a rocky cliffside, but still has a trick up his sleeve

I dont think younger people realize just how massively popular and culturally significant the Lord of the Rings books were in the 1970s in the USA. Millenials experienced but a fraction of this when the Peter Jackson trilogy released.

On September 15, 1977, what is arguably J.R.R. Tolkien's magnum opus was published (or at least the work of his heart). It turns 49 today. The earliest version of this work was the subject of my doctoral thesis -- the first on Tolkien at Oxford University. #Tolkien #Silmarillion

I am so utterly thrilled with this, a 50th birthday gift to myself: the Awakening of the Elves on the shores of Cuiviénen, from Tolkien's Silmarillion. I trusted Amy to do something wonderful, and she really has. (She was incredibly patient with my excessive Tolkien lore dump for background, too.)

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.
