Though we call ourselves LOTR confessions, we're happy to take confessions about anything Tolkien.
This blog was inspired by blogs such as Harry Potter Confessions and Criminal Minds Confessions.
If you're looking for a specific character or book, the tag page has most of it sorted.
Enjoy the blog! :)

For some daft reason, it took me until a few months ago to commit to reading the trilogy. I must not have had the attention span and patience for the books before. I am very glad to have turned myself around, though; the movies have a special place for me, and deserve all their praise, but the books are also glorious.
My Dad is finally reading Lord of the Rings, and it makes me so happy.
The Silmarillion is honestly one of the most fascinating and beautiful books ever written. In fact, all over Tolkien’s are.
You ARE a fan if you haven’t read the books. Tolkien is extremely hard to read. It took me six months to read Lord of the Rings when I was twelve. I’m eighteen now and still find it a bit trying. You ARE a fan if you haven’t read the books, and you ARE a fan if you have. Simple as that. Enough with the “fake fan” crap.
I love the LOTR movies but haven’t read the books yet. I’m nervous that I won’t like them, although my sister says that I will.
I watched the movies first but I’ve started reading the books recently and as hard as watching Boromir die in the movies was, reading the funeral Gimli, Aragorn, and Legolas did for him was so hard for me that I had to put the book down and cry for a while before I could even attempt to continue and it has made it really hard to keep reading at all even now.
I’m sad that although my friends are big fans of the films, they have no intentions to read the books (nor, admittedly, the patience - English is not their native language and Tolkien can be very trying). Partly because I can’t even to begin how to explain Legolas/Gimli to them, and they just look at me weirdly every time I try to.
My brother showed me LOTR when I was 12, we watched all three movies all night long as much as we could that summer. We fell in love and now my room is full of LOTR stuff. Even though I love the characters so much, I have never been good at reading, and have always tried starting the series, but I just couldn’t get past the Hobbit. I still love the characters and know as much as a normal LOTR fan, but I fear I will get so much hate for not reading the books
