April 21

A confession…

Well, truth be told… I couldn’t get through any of Tolkien’s novels when I tried years ago. Alas, the perils of seeing the movie when I should have been reading the book. (My mistake, of course, has been fixed. Thank you Black Gate for pointing it out.)

Over at Michele Lee’s Book Love blog is a look at #11 originally intended for Tangent before that venue went on hiatus. Michele has a more subdued reaction to the issue, suggesting some readers might be irritated by continuing serials leaving some plot threads open, but that didn’t sting as much as calling Tolkien’s wizard “Gandolf,” instead of Gandalf. Ouch.
