Teresa at Shelf Love, Eva at A Striped Armchair, Maree at Just Add Books and I will host readings of one of the Lord of the Rings novels starting January and ending in April. I will be hosting The Fellowship of the Ring in February here. I made the button using Aviary, although I have now recovered my copy of Photoshop Elements after six months of searching. (Never leave me again, Photoshop!) I just picked up a copy of The Hobbit today, as I actually don’t own one. I’m a bit picky about presentation for series (I have a lovely box set of His Dark Materials that spells the series’ name out on the spines when they’re placed together), but I doubt I’ll find a copy of The Hobbit that will match my movie set of The Lord of the Rings. If I could justify the cost of replacing all my Harry Potter books with that trunk set, I would. If you feel up to the adventure, go sign up at Shelf Love!

I saw it a couple of weeks ago at B&N for 50% off the hardcover and so I grabbed it. I’m glad to hear that this is a “good, solid” debut.

Ever since I read Francine Prose's Blue Angel, I've been intrigued with the writing-class-trope. It also helps that I'm a Creative Writing major, haha. :) This sounds really interesting.
