Happy Hobbit Day


Not sure why J.R.R. Tolkien picked June 22nd but he did and in America June 22nd is celebrated as Hobbit Day and that whole week as Tolkien Week. 

Also be sure to read the first book - The Fellowship of the Ring - to get a better understanding of how Tolkien wanted Hobbits portrayed. As Sam says, "It's the job that's never started that takes the longest to finish." So read it now.

    'No, in the United States, Hobbit Day is celebrated on September 22nd, and the week containing that date is known as Tolkien Week. This day commemorates the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. . .

  2. Double checked and you're right. I did get the 22nd part right at least - had it wrong last year too but nobody corrected me :(
