Exploring lore from all corners of Middle-earth.
It is not an understatement to say that this blog post has been three Tolkien Trewsdays* in the making and what I write here is only the beginning of my exploration.
Recommended events and reading on Christopher’s CentenaryThis is a short blog post to highlight Centenary events and also books which either celebrate the work of Christopher or were written by Christopher, especially outside of his Legendarium output.

On this day, one hundred years ago, Christopher Tolkien was born in Leeds, England, to Edith and J.R.R. Tolkien.
On the eve of the centenary of Christopher Tolkien’s birthday (Born 21 November 1924) I wanted to highlight some of memorable anecdotes that Christopher and others have shared about his own life and memories of his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, and their family.

Marvel's Blood Hunt is here! This is an epic 54-issue (+5 if you go for the Red Band too) comic event – a main series, limited series, one-shots and series tie-ins. Series led by Jed Mackay, Pepe Larraz & Marte Gracia.
Welcome to #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday.
The hub for this Twitter-based event can be found here.
Tolkien Trewsday (the Hobbit name for Tuesday!) invites the #Tolkien community to form a fellowship to collectively tweet about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien, his works and his life.
Each week a new theme will be selected, often via a poll or by a guest host/curator, and together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien and the adaptions based on his works.
In 2024 (and beyond) we’ll see several cinematic and televised adaptations set in Middle-earth and about J.R.R. Tolkien. We are also seeing more theatrical productions such as the acclaimed Watermill Theatre’s 2023 “The Lord of the Rings” play.

Gaming in Middle-earth - State of play report January 2024
🎲 Back in 2023 the dice were definitely rolling favourably for gaming set in Middle-earth. As we move through quarter one of 2024 the playing field is a little unclear.
Welcome to the first edition of the "2024 Upcoming Tolkien-related books” page. These are the expected releases for (English language) Tolkien-related material over the course of 2024. The list may (and most likely will) change over the course of the year and I am sure there will be additions made.
You can find the previous 2023 release schedule here.
