Vacation followed by another unplanned trip to help D's mother (who has been ill) has slowed my posting here, but late summer activity has not slowed our reading! We finished up The Two Towers last week and are four chapters into The Return of the King.
We got that far because we did a lot of reading in the car. S. is finding the story of the war against Mordor a little harder-going than some of the earlier reading, mostly because she is impatient to return to Sam and Frodo's story. These early chapters are thick too -- not just long, but heavy with descriptions and battles. (So many Orcs! They must be Peter Jackson's favorites scenes.)
I'm hoping to do a catch-up post soon.
