We are on the ninth week of our Silmarillion read-along and this week we’ll be discussing chapters 13 & 14 of the Quenta Silmarillion.

This week’s chapter blog posts:

• Guide to The Silmarillion: Of the Return of the Noldor (Ch. 13)

• Guide to The Silmarillion: Of Beleriand and Its Realms (Ch. 14)

Key Quote:

• "But after the coming of the Sun rich grass arose there, and while Angband was besieged and its gates shut there were green things even among the pits and broken rocks before the doors of hell."

Thanks so much to everyone who has continued to listen along! I know I personally don’t particularly enjoy it when podcasts do multi-episode book clubs, I prefer to just be able to drop into a new episode without any prior reading, but at the same time I thought this would be valuable resource for anyone who is participating in our book club so I do hope that some of you are enjoying it!

And I’m sure we’ll have some more topical episodes coming along soon. If you have any ideas for topics you’d like me to cover, you can send me a DM on twitter or Instagram @teawithtolkien, or an email at kaitlyn@teawithtolkien.com. 

And before I get going, I also wanted to mention we are running a sale in honor of Tolkien Reading Day and Middle-Earth March so everything in our shop is marked down through the end of March. You can learn more at www.teawithtolkien.com/shop.

Thanks so much to all of our lovely patrons who support Tea with Tolkien each month! I’m so grateful for you and encouraged that you see what I’m doing over here as something worth supporting, so just know that it means the world to me! 

I’ll be back next week for week 10 of our book club, the half-way point!, with chapters: 15 and 16: Of the Noldor in Beleriand and Of Maeglin.
