This week, Anna and Ellen discuss some important hobbit history, whether Gandalf was a bit too brusque and, most importantly, building community through storytelling in Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past. Next week's theme is shared language.

Book 1 Chpt. 3: Three is Company (Shared Language)

Fandoms (communities) spring up around cherished movies, books, and more, but what can the subject matter itself teach us about building lasting relationships? Join sisters Anna and Ellen for a chapter by chapter reading of The Lord of the Rings, where they’ll examine this famous example of Fellowship, and look for the lessons in community-building to be found in one of the most beloved series of all time.
