Hi, all! Here is the schedule for our December-February Silmarillion Read-along! www.teawithtolkien.com/blog/silm-20...

can I call all the interviews I’m doing for my book marketing a “press tour” or is that too self-important becaaaaauuuuuseeeee

More Tolkien, besties!

Will never forget being at a screening for the finale of The Rings of Power season two and the entire crowd erupting into applause at the Narsil reveal. 🥹

there’s one episode of Bluey where Bluey rides in the front seat of the car because the back seats are all full, and now my kids are romanticizing going to Australia “so we can ride in the front seat” 🥲

Happy Saturday & #Tolkientober Mellons! This is a friendly reminder that we are officially one week away from our livestream charity event: The Sun Yet Shines Below is our YouTube channel for the livestream next Saturday 👇 youtube.com/@TROPCHARITY #FreePalestine #TolkienFansForPalestine 1/5

Hello Free Folks, I've updated my print shop to include my latest Tolkien illustrations, as well as others that I made in the past but never made available. I also adjusted the lighting of old ones for better print quality. You can get prints at: www.inprnt.com/collections/...

Lord Celebrimbor wants you to pre-order my book! www.teawithtolkien.com/book

do you ever think about Elrond and cry??????

Took a little break from social media but I had to come back to say that I’m rewatching The Rings of Power and nothing hits quite like season one Haladriel. There’s a lot to love about season two, but I fear nothing is ever going to top Sauron dressing up as Galadriel’s brother to PROPOSE to her???

Kind words from Carl Hostetter, editor of The Nature of Middle-earth! 🌟 Pre-order now: www.teawithtolkien.com/book

We still need 50 people to attend in-person in order to break even, and we're a little over halfway there. If we can get to 40 before the early-bird registration window closes, we'll be in great shape!

We have some GREAT news for you today! Katie and I have spent the last few days working behind the scenes to lower our costs for the moot: finding a few places to trim costs, and negotiating with the event venue.

Kind words about my book, Into the Heart of Middle-earth. 🫖

That is an awesome line-up if I ever saw one 😁 Sorry I'll miss out on getting to meet Brett Devereaux, totally appreciate his work! Have fun to everyone who'll be there! 🙏😀👋

I’ll be there for the Saturday of this moot! Come say hi!

Thanks to the #Tolkien community, we’ve reached our goal within just 10 hours of announcing it! We will continue to accept donations to help provide further assistance to Palestinians in Gaza; our new goal is $1000. Due to everyone’s incredible generosity, (1/2)

Autistic people are amazing and their existence makes the world a better place. 🤎 My heart is with anyone who has ever been told otherwise.

Every time I make Lembas I’m conflicted because in the movies they’re rectangular but becuase of the parallels to the Eucharist I kind of think Tolkien was imagining them as more circular, so it’s like do I make them in a “book accurate” shape or like how everyone knows them from the movies lol

making my Hobbit Party trivia and remembering 2023 when I made the trivia too hard and nobody knew any of the answers 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

how it feels to be reading the final proof of my book before it’s sent off to the printers

Help us celebrate this year's Hobbit Day with a stream - “The World’s Largest Second Breakfast!” Join us a day early on Sunday, September 21st at 2pm EST as we share our favorite hobbity food creations and tolkien memories!

Some people: Haladriel isn't real Sauron in the 2nd Age: I'm going to name myself after Galadriel

you can tell me all day long that Haladriel isn’t “real” because it isn’t in the books, but you can pry their matching names being right next to each other in the Unfinished Tales index out of my cold dead hands!!

My book is now available for pre-order within the US! Visit my website for all of the shopping links & information about the pre-order thank you gifts I've created for you! teawithtolkien.com/book (International shipping will be available soon - thank you for your patience!)

There’s still not enough singing orcs in screen adaptation but I really loved what trop did with nampat 🥹

It's kind of interesting how both the Rankin-Bass and Bakshi depictions of orcs have them singing while they go to war, but then Peter Jackson deviated from that with his versions of orcs... and then The Rings of Power brought the singing/chanting back a bit with 'NAMPAT'!

Two weeks until my Hobbit Party 🥳

Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art

I just remembered I forgot to publish my season two review for The Rings of Power, I literally never posted about War of the Rohirrim after I saw it, and I still haven’t reviewed Tales of the Shire either… I’m a terrible content creator… just take away my shill badge
