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! :)

The complete recordings are almost as awesome as the movies. I usually listen to them while reading the book. They’re perfect.
Everyone knows how much I love New Zealand because I’m always talking about it. It’s in my list “visit before I die”. Everyone thinks I’m amazed with New Zealand culture and cities, but what they don’t know, is when I say I want to visit NZ so bad, all I think is about Mata-Mata and all the places where LotR were filmed. I’m gonna visit that one day, and no one’s gonna stop me.
It really annoys me that people talk smack about Peter Jackson’s films. He had all of New Zealand behind him, and after reading his biography, PJ went through A LOT to get those films made. They’re beautiful, and though not EVERYTHING that happened in the book happened in the film, it’s true to the spirit of Tolkien. He did the most amazing job with Lord of the Rings, and I know he’ll do just as well with The Hobbit.
In an English test (7th grade), there was a reading comprehension about The Lord of the Rings, and a little vocabulary crossword puzzle. The right answer was “Gandalf”. I finished quick and scribbeld a bit on my paper. Then I realised I drawed Gandalf. When I got my test back, I had an A and a smiley beneath my ‘Gandalf’ and a note which said Lord of the Rings Fan too? I do like my English teacher most. I found my test today, and it was so cool to see this little Gandalf on the paper.
I like the fact that Tom Bombadil wasn’t on the movies. I have a very detailed image of him in my head, and the movie would totally ruin it.
I wish I could appreciate the book the way a native speaker does. I firmly believe part of the magic gets lost during the translation process, and even reading it in English isn’t really the same when it’s not your mother tongue.
During high school I skipped the Frodo scenes, but since college have enjoyed and understood them so much more.
I never watch the end of the Return of the King because it’s just to sad to watch them sail away…
