Es ist wieder Zeit für Art vs Artist! Auch wenn das Jahr allgemein nicht so toll für mich war: ich hab einige schöne Illus gezeichnet und ich bin künstlerisch wieder weitergekommen, das macht mich wirklich happy 😊.

I saw this with 1 like = 1 plan.
I'm not into plans, but how about:
1 like = 1 (fantasy) book recommendation?
Comments with specific requests welcome. 😉

A little list of some of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The long-awaited Mennik Thorn prequel novella, The Dead Man, is out now. I promised this to readers quite a long time ago. It works well either as an introduction to the series or for those who've read the other books, so no excuses! Go get it. :)

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

Is this a good idea? Should I be doing this? I don't know.
But judging from my very first chat with Sonja Virta on Tove Jansson's illustrations for "The Hobbit" I think the answer should be yes.
Some small audio thingies in the recording, all my fault, I'll certainly improve over time...

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

A question to anyone who is a Tolkien expert: when Tolkien used the word "wight" was he using it in the sense we now have as a supernatural, undead being, or was he using it in the earlier sense as just "thing" or "creature" or "person"?
Does our current use come from a reading of Tolkien?
