From The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien: (56% of the ebook)
So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen;
Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Lúthien
had come on earth again; and she was called Undómiel,
for she was the Evenstar of her people.
Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Lúthien

Grab a book and join the fun.
Tolkien has such a way with words. What a great quote to describe Arwin. I hope you’re enjoying the book!
Here’s my Friday 56.
Thanks. I just started so I have quite a while until I get to this part.
Would you believe I’ve never read any Tolkien? It’s almost embarrassing! These are some of my husband’s favorite books. Hope you’re enjoying the read!
Me too. I’ve been meaning to read them for a while but I haven’t yet.
I like your excerpt. I had my mind on The Hobbit. Enjoy.
Thanks. I hope you have a great weekend.
I can’t remember if I ever read and Tolkien. I think I will have to check them out.

This is the first Tolkien I’ve read. My friends have highly recommended it and I’m liking it so far.
Although I’ve seen the movies recently, it’s been years since I read the books. It’s time for a re-read!
My Friday post features FETCHING LOVE.
I’ve actually never seen any of the movies. I’ve seen maybe five scenes total. I wanted to read the books first and now I’m finally getting to them years later. 🙂
I haven’t read these yet but I got a box set for Christmas and I’m dying to start.
It is great so far. Happy reading!
I really want to read The Fellowship of the Ring, thanks for sharing!
No problem. Thanks for visiting.
Excellent quote to describe the character! 🙂
Here’s mine.
Totally agree with you. Great character description in one sentence.
I recently watched the complete saga again. I can’t believe I haven’t read the books.
Here’s my 56 – http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/01/09/the-friday-56-47-dinosaur-lake-iii-infestation/
I haven’t actually seen any of the movies. Maybe I’ll see them after I finish the books.
I’ve seen all the films and read not one page of the books.
Happy weekend!
And I’ve seen basically none of the films. Maybe the books will motivate me to watch the films.
Happy weekend to you too!
