Half of the clear plastic ghosts box painted up. Knowing how quick and easy they are, I'll smash through the other half of the box when I only have a couple of hours to spare.
Well... I'm about to go on holiday so I won't be super active, BUT this is a sneak peek of my latest #Maedhros because I love him your honour and I can't resist 💙
New on my blog is the second half of my top 10 imaginary worlds. I get a bit deeper this time (or go on a bit more!), as these are ones that have shaped me as a writer.
Okay, you probably know by now that when someone is my favourite, there's no escaping my portraits. So have another Maedhros - this time as a baby with his mum (and yep, I'm on a mission to revise old works!)
I hope you like it, and sorry for my one-track mind 🙈
J.R.R. Tolkien’s Little-Known Original Drawings for the First Edition of “The Hobbit” By Maria Popova
"...People have celebrated Tolkien as a writer for years — you haven’t been able to get away from him since all the books of the century polls. But The Lord of the Rings has always been the focus since it was published in 1954 — it’s a much more grown-up, significant book. It has overshadowed The Hobbit as a more old-fashioned, children’s book, which has become known in the context of The Lord of the Rings. The anniversary allows us to move the spotlight back on to the book which started it all.
A rare piece of cross-disciplinary creativity from the mind of one of modern history’s greatest creators, The Art of the Hobbit is equal parts literary treasure and treat of art, exploring the notion of the author as designer — a particularly timely concept in the age of self-publishing and disciplinary cross-pollination in the making of books..."
I always loved #twins, and #Elrond and #Elros have a special place in my heart - I wonder when Elros made his choice, and I like the take that it did so when both were still fairly young. I imagine it must not have been easy 💔
Surprised to learn in Fonstad’s Atlas of #MiddleEarth that #TheShire is 21,400 square miles (55426 square km) — way larger than I was imagining! That would make it slightly smaller than West Virginia and larger than Switzerland. And that isn’t counting the later-added Westmarches or Buckland either.
Je suis assez mort de rire ! Je jure que c'est la dernière fois que je poste de la déconne Youtube ! C'est pas mon genre mais là je ne peux pas faire autrement !
J'ai encore trouvé moyen d'acheter des BD bien débiles !

J'en parle demain ok ? Le temps de les lire quoi...
Pretend? really?
Reminds me of a book I've read about bookstores' fun moments, and one was about a customer who wanted to buy books just to put at his house and makes him looks so smart. LOL
But, I've read #Tolkien, Jackson, #Atwood, #Orwell and more ! #Booksworm#books#Readers
