About Me

I was given a copy of The Lord of the Rings to read as a birthday present a very long time ago. I became a huge Tolkien fan, and read the trilogy every other year until children and work pushed the schedule off track. I have also read The Silmarillion and parts of the History of Middle Earth. I only started reading the fan fiction on AO3 in 2018, following a podcast recommendation, and discovered the Tolkien fanfics. I am now addicted, with a massive TBR list and far too many open tabs of fic on my browser....
