As you have probably already guessed, I’m a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien. As a girl growing up I read (and was read) everything from The Hobbit to The Silmarillion. I was fascinated by several characters and creatures – and the Ents were one of my favorites.
Several years ago a friend was speaking to me about some decision I was in the process of making – I believe it was planning a trip. It was the fall, and I was making plans for May saying that really, it wasn’t that far away. He jokingly replied, “Sure, maybe not long for a lost entwife.” .. and the light bulb went on.
I’m a very patient person and I take a very long time to make decisions. This is good, in the cases of making truly earth-shattering life-changing decisions .. but it also is frustrating, in that it can take me forever to decide just if I want to go see a movie or.. visit a friend. Now, as an adult, I can recognize why I loved those Ents so much. They were unhurried (although the Entwives were less so) and just took their time – and that’s how I like living my life.
I am LOTR nerd as well. My father used to read LOTR every year and now I have taken up the habit, excpet I read them about 3 times a year! I love the title of your blog, it is really unique and fun. Last week I had a post on my blog about how people chose their blog names and it was really great to see how everyone came up wth it. I think I will add a link to your site in the discussion if thats ok. Great blog!
Sure! Thanks for stopping by =)
Well, I have always wondered what became of the Entwives!
I’ve just found my way to your blog via One Person’s Journey through a World of Books. I must admit your blog name prompted me to click away. I love Tolkien too, and it’s always fun to come across someone else who loves him! You’ve a lovely blog and I’m looking forward to exploring it and following your posts.:D
I just had to say that I love the title of your blog. So creative! I’m a huge JRR Tolkien fan, too. I even started reading the History of Middle Earth series (though I haven’t finished LOL). Just curious, what do YOU think happened to the Ent wives?
