Every year on March 25, the anniversary of the Downfall of Sauron, the Tolkien Society hosts Tolkien Reading Day. This year’s theme is hope in Tolkien’s works. The primary goal is to promote the reading of the works of J. R. R. Tolkien! To celebrate, Pages Unbound will be hosting a week of Tolkien-related posts. In addition to our own thoughts, we will be featuring guest posts and interviews!
