Today is day 19 of my countdown to 2024. Using a series of prompts each day I will post a book title that I believe fits the prompt. The aim is to highlight as many books as possible that I read from 2023 and shine the spotlight on them once again (although for some prompts I will be looking at future reads). A list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2024.
Today’s prompt: Christmas Carols – a book with musicians, song or instruments:
Okay. I’ve gone for a book that I didn’t read this year (although I did reread it a few years ago. Lord of the rings by JRR Tolkien. You gotta love a good classic.
I can’t resist the opportunity to talk about this book. I read it when I was a teenager and I still love it.

Funny, I also had to go back to 2022!
I love the trilogy, but wait, how do you fit it with the prompt?
For some reason, music is not the things that come to mind when I think of Tolkien’s works.
Mine is nonfiction:
I seem to recall that Tolkien included songs in the LotRs books and the Hobbit, it seemed to be something he enjoyed (although tbh I’m not totally a lover of songs in stories).

Oh I see
My husband loves the music from The Lord of the Rings movies.
Yes, it’s very popular, it’s not my favourite element but I understand why he included songs.
