Lord of the Rings Readalong

January 1, 2010 - April 30, 2010

Teresa of Shelf Love, Eva of A Striped Arm Chair, Maree of Just Add Books, and Literary Omnivore are hosting The Lord of the Rings Readalong.

Here's what Teresa says:

Starting January 1, 2010, we’ll be reading one book from the series (including The Hobbit) each month with a goal of finishing all four books in April. We’ll be taking turns hosting the readalong, so you can follow our intrepid fellowship of readers around the blogosphere. Here’s where you’ll find us each month:

• January: The Hobbit at A Striped Armchair
• February: The Fellowship of the Ring at The Literary Omnivore
• March: The Two Towers here at Shelf Love
• April: The Return of the King at Just Add Books

Whether you’ve made repeated visits to Middle Earth, have only seen the movies, or are a complete newbie to Tolkien’s amazing world, we hope you’ll consider joining us.

The road through Middle Earth is one I’ve traversed many times in the last 14 years since I first read The Hobbit. Its trees, caves, and streams are familiar sights to me now, but they haven’t failed to bring me pleasure over the years. I’m thrilled to be able to share that pleasure with so many others this January. Grab your pack and your sword, and please do consider joining us!
