Hey everyone! This handle has been updated to @uruloke.tolkienguide.com, and the automated account (that currently posts the Tolkien Letter of the Day but will be doing much more this year) has been updated to @tolkienguide.com - just a bit of bookkeeping for the new year. Nothing you need to do.

My ebook readers tell me I read 56 non-Tolkien ebooks this year, plus about a dozen physical books from the library, plus Tolkien related reading puts me just under 100 I think.
NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American.
