tolkienreadalong: Well, my friends, we’ve reached the end. Assuming you’ve stuck to the schedule, you should have completed The Silmarillion by now. I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading it, whether it was your first time or just a chance to re-read it in a community. And though the book is done, our fun isn’t quite finished yet. Here’s what’s happening this week: GIVEAWAY ENTRIES DUE FRIDAY! If you’re entering Bingo Card giveaways, the instructions can be found in this post. If you hosted a discussion and want to enter the Discussion Host giveaway, all you have to do is send me a message with a link to some sort of proof (you can put links in asks if you put parenthesis around any periods, for example tolkienreadalong(.)tumblr(.)com) TEAM CHALLENGE ENDS FRIDAY! It’s up to the teams and their captains to tally up their points, so if you hosted a discussion or completed your team’s Bingo Card, be sure to let your captain know! MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE! There are two more read-alongs planned for the upcoming months, and some ideas about how to keep the community active in the time between them. If you’re at all interested in helping me make some important decisions about these events, I’ve got two more (NEW) surveys for you to take! This one is all about the upcoming read-alongs, and this one is all about ways to keep the community active until the next read-along. WHAT SHOULD YOU READ NEXT? In a few days I’ll have a very special post for anyone looking to read more Tolkien, now that you’ve conquered the Silmarillion. It’ll be sorted by topic (for example, if your favorite part of the Silmarillion was Feanor and his sons, you should read the Shibboleth of Feanor. Or if your favorite part was Turin, you should read The Children of Hurin, etc.) -- source link
