Weeklies, briefly

My picture book of the week is The Secret Circus, written and illustrated by Johanna Wright. This depicts a circus in Paris, about which only the mice know.

My novel of the week is Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have spent so much time this week thinking about this epic story and reading passages from it, that I haven't finished my intended novel of the week and its review. Lord of the Rings fascinates me continually. I can't get enough of the history of the rings, the peoples and creatures of Middle-Earth, and comparing differences between the Peter Jackson-directed movie trilogy versus the books.
