Send Me Your Questions + Recommendations!

Hey guys! Something exciting is coming up next week...my blogoversary! I started blogging on May 12, 2020, which means that as of next Wednesday I'll have been blogging for one year! Wow. That's kinda surreal. And before I get into what I'm doing for this blogoversary, I just want to say: thank you! Yep, you read that right: thank you ! If not for all of you, who read my blog, commented, and engaged with this very new blogger, I would not have kept blogging! And so you all have my undying gratitude, because my life has become so much more rich from interacting and getting to know y'all through this blog community! So. On to what I'm doing to celebrate! For my blogoversary, I am inviting you to send me your burning questions! Ask anything you want to know, and, as long as it's not "where exactly do you live", or other questions in that vein, I would be happy to answer it! Yes, even if you ask what my OTP is, or other such questions that require extreme...

The Silmaril Awards 2024: Nominations Open!

*bounces into the blog* HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLES OF THE INTERNET! I am here on a Monday in September, and you know what that means? IT'S SILMARIL TIME!!! *dances tiny jig* I'm so excited to host another Silmaril this year! They're a massive highlight of the blogging year for me (even if they make my dorm room super crowded, and last year's Silmarils resulted in the PDA levels at Newman skyrocketing exponentially ;)). In case you've never heard of these illustrious awards, and are wondering what the heck Samantha is freaking out about, the Silmaril awards are the equivalent of the Tonys or Oscars or Golden Globes...but for fantasy characters. Awarded by Tolkien and Lewis's characters in multiple awards ceremonies at the end of the month of September, each Silmaril honors a character in one of ten categories. The best part? You guys are the ones who get to nominate and vote on the characters who you...

Good, Better, Best: Books about Lewis, Tolkien and The Inklings

Just a quick PSA before I start: I am looking for tags. I'm hoping to do one or two per month, and I don't want to be a pirate forever, so if you need someone to tag, I would be happy to be your taggee. :D If you do tag me, please comment on one of my posts and let me know! My karate teacher has a saying: "Good, better, best, never let it rest, 'till your good is better, and your better is the best." Which is really about life (and particularly applicable right now, perhaps!), but I thought I could totally apply the "good, better, best" classification to a group of books. I've read a lot of books recently about Lewis and Tolkien--I spent basically all of March reading nothing else! I think I sent Merry well over a hundred Tolkien and Lewis facts that month (Love you, Merry!). A trickle of Tolkien and Lewis books has been seeping into my life since then, too. But for today, I thought I would take the nine Lewis-and-Tolkien books I read in March, an...
