sauron is an expert of discord. he's got nitro. he has hundreds of boosts on his server. he's got custom eye emoji. everyone watches his streams.

This Indie April has been so tough across the board, it seems. I'm seeing so many authors struggling to get sales. So let's have a boost thread! Drop your books below and maybe if you can afford someone's, have a browse and comment if you pick one up! Make an author's day! 📚💙

Annoyed at gross tech companies named after Tolkien things? Just look at this list of species with Tolkien names instead, guarantee your day will be 110% better! tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Species...

I wish jrr tolkien could do just a little bit of haunting just to fuck up those tech guys who keep naming their shitty companies after his lore

somewhere between 2 and 5

Friends don’t let friends buy their books from Amazon’s sale this week. Friends take friends to celebrate Indie Bookstore Day on April 26th instead at their local shops. (Take your enemies, too.)

#NationalTeaDay #Tolkien “Frodo did not offer her any tea.” 📚 J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Book One, Chapter 3: Three is Company)

I think one reason I find so much hope and solace in Tolkien’s works is that despite Mordor being fictional, Tolkien’s lived experiences of death, war, grief, and loss were extremely real and his ability to endure and create light and beauty from it speaks to the resilience and strength of humanity.

‘In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.’

“and the house of elrond was a refuge for the weary and the oppressed, and a treasury of good counsel and wise lore”

current mood: overwhelming urge to reread all my favorite reads from last year because life is too much atm

them: do you remember what happens in this book ? me: nope them: and it’s one of your all time favorites ? me: yep

Indie Bookstore Day is one of the most important days for your community’s bookstores. Punkass Amazon decided Apr 23 - 28 was when they needed to have their “Book Sale”. It is designed to snuff out Indie Bookstore Day on April 26.

kids on Easter be like

I'm never happy with Fingon's hair, so this is not public braids, as they don't follow my braiding system (Ñoldo). The "official" design for him I like most is the one from Yule So this is his pyjamas #tolkien #jrrtolkien #silmarillion #tolkienart #silmart #fingon #findekano #ereinion #gil-galad

my toxic trait is saying “i have nothing to read" while having approximately 63590 unread books scattered around the house.

REAL like i do like sprayed edges but it feels like every other book has them and most of the time,,,,i don’t even like how they look 🤷‍♀️ like why are the edges of my book solid neon green 🤨

me when i realise i still don’t have season three of the rings of power and it’s another year at least

@galadrielswife.bsky.social made a post about Theo and I started missing his mom so much, I had to draw Bronwyn and him immediately ( ̄ω ̄;) #TROP | #RingsOfPower | #TROPart (pink carnations for motherhood)

i love you indie bookstores, thank you for existing indie bookstores

Leaving a bookstore with your arms full of books has big "look at these cool rocks I found" energy

Just because you never use the library, that doesn’t mean you don’t benefit by having them in your community.

Let's start our week of posting with something positive. A number of major publishers joined together to send a letter to Congress in support of the IMLS global.penguinrandomhouse.com/announcement...

Hi. Books are incredibly important. Please let them be.

yk what it missing in medieval fantasy nowadays? HATS, FUNNY MEDIEVAL HATS esp for men.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Phone (for books on the go) ✅ Wallet (for buying books) ✅ Book ✅ Keys (for driving to where the books are) ✅ Headphones (for audiobooks) ✅ Backup book (in case I finish the first) ✅

I’m very good at these things actually #booksky

😅

Is there anything cooler than a reader finding your book and being like THIS IS FOR ME? AHHHHHH. I love it so much.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes... less so💙📚🪐
