oh besties this section on Sauron, originally from the history of middle earth, is sooooo interesting.
“Sauron was not a beginner of discord”

“He still had the relics of positive purposes that descended from the good of the nature in which he began”

This Indie April has been so tough across the board, it seems. I'm seeing so many authors struggling to get sales. So let's have a boost thread! Drop your books below and maybe if you can afford someone's, have a browse and comment if you pick one up!

Make an author's day! 📚💙

Annoyed at gross tech companies named after Tolkien things? Just look at this list of species with Tolkien names instead, guarantee your day will be 110% better! tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Species...

Species named after Tolkien's works

Many species and even entire genera have been named after elements of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. Some items on the list are junior synonyms, i.e. they were coined...

i usually start with what will be the fastest to accomplish (not the most important) that gets the ball rolling and u get to cross something off ur list fast! if thats still overwhelming, try subdividing a big task into small tasks (sometimes it helps to phone a friend to help w this!)

Friends don’t let friends buy their books from Amazon’s sale this week.

Friends take friends to celebrate Indie Bookstore Day on April 26th instead at their local shops.

(Take your enemies, too.)

Tea with Tolkien @teawithtolkien.com · Apr 12

I think one reason I find so much hope and solace in Tolkien’s works is that despite Mordor being fictional, Tolkien’s lived experiences of death, war, grief, and loss were extremely real and his ability to endure and create light and beauty from it speaks to the resilience and strength of humanity.

Indie Bookstore Day is one of the most important days for your community’s bookstores.

Punkass Amazon decided Apr 23 - 28 was when they needed to have their “Book Sale”. It is designed to snuff out Indie Bookstore Day on April 26.
