| Andrea | Reviewed Chapter: 3 on 3/3/2009 |
| That was the perfect gift for Frodo and it shows how much the whole Gamgee family likes him! Apropos Gamgee, now that you are a proud owner of Tolkien's Letters you should read Letter #184, which is also a very unexpected one :) Author Reply: Indeed, Andrea. And thank you so very much. I will do that as soon as I can. | |

| You do know, of course, that all we write is because Elves wrote it and Tolkien found the book! Bless you - this was delightful and what an incredible gift for you!!! Author Reply: Ah, so you believe in Elvislushion, do you? Heh! Thank you so very much, Agape. And I agree--very much an incredible gift for me! | |

| What a wonderful gift for Frodo! And for you! Abraham Lincoln said something like my best friend is someone who gives me a book I haven't read. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Indeed, Antane. I have so MANY books, and it's always a joy to get a new one I want! | |

| Aw, lovely! What a thoughtful gift! (in both cases) I remember you mentioning the "Letters" on your last visit, and so I smiled with delight to hear of your unexpected blessing. Author Reply: I was going to save part of my income tax return to acquire a copy as my birthday present to myself, my birthday coming next month--and one fell right into my lap! I am most pleaed, and have done my best to let those at work know just how pleased I am! So, in trying to translate that joy into Middle Earth Frodo gets an Elvish picture book! Heh! | |

| What a wonderful gift for Frodo... and for you! Author Reply: Oh, indeed, Shirebound! Both Frodo and I are most thrilled to have such an unexpected gift from such an unexpected source! | |

| Touching vignette! And how kind of someone to have left you Tolkien's Letters! Wow, that is cause for a happy moment. :) Author Reply: Amen, Cairistiona! I am all kinds of happy, and found I had to let Frodo share my joy! | |

| Oh larner, this made me giggle. I really liked it. Do remember that song "Hello Modduah, hello faddah"? This drabble reminds me of that song! I can almost feel the guard's boredom. This is so much fun reading your drabbles for the B2MeM challenge. Keep up the great work. Author Reply: Yes, I found myself thinking of that once I started rereading what I'd written. Now to see if I can keep this up for the full month. Now, check out Cairistiona's story for today--and get ready to laugh again. I think both of us had similar thoughts at the prompt! | |

| I liked the little bit of humor in this. I also liked how wrote in a way that really felt like Bilbo talking too. This was fun to read. :-) Author Reply: I'm so glad you like it. And to know you think I managed to be true to Bilbo's voice is a blessing! Thank you! I think I'll probably put these on LJ, but will do it a week at a time so as not to have a bunch of little posts floating around. | |

| Oh my gosh! This is such fun! The poor man - sounds very young too! I guess even being a beacon watcher would be better than this! Author Reply: Yes, he does sound young. And a beacon watcher at least gets to look around! Heh! Thanks so! | |

| I hope the guard later realizes why he is doing this because I think that is a neat thing from the movie to see that guarding as a sign of hope that the king and the tree would return. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I agree, but still think standing still on guard over something no one is likely to try to disturb would have to feel like a most tedious job for a young Guardsman! Heh! | |
