A great resource of writings on Tolkien in the blogosphere. Many are already my favourites. Others will become so as well!

Thanks for the list! I noticed this earlier but forgot to correct: the article about The Children of Hurin, “Not Around But Through…”, is actually by David Mitchel of While We’re Paused…not by yours truly! I don’t want him to miss out on being acknowledged for the excellent work he did in that series of articles.
