What is Tolkien Reading Day
For those who don't know who J.R.R. Tolkien is he is the author who penned The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings saga, The Silmarillion amongst others.
Why was March 25th the official date chosen?
It was actually the date that the ring was destroyed, completing Frodos quest and the ultimate downfall of evil Sauron (The Lord of the Rings).
As of 2003, members of the Tolkien Reading Society, encouraged others who may have never read any of Tolkiens works by reading passages from their favorite books.
How To Celebrate
1. Read The Hobbit (pre Lord of the Rings quest) or jump straight into The Lord of the Rings
Pour your favorite beverage of choice (coffee, tea or wine), pop in one of Tunes 4 Kids fireplace videos (we included both in this post) in background for ultimate relaxation.
2. Create your own Middle Earth Map
3. Look up J.R.R. Tolkien biographies or documentaries
