Hey, it’s June, and Munday Monday, and I’m almost done with me re-read, so I figure this is an auspicious time to give a shout out to the friend who gave me this STUNNING edition of LotR, illustrated by Alan Lee. 

I have provided pictures so that you may marinate in envy of this kingly gift. 

I cannot provide pictures of my friend because I do not think she is on tumblr but I want you to imagine the tallest, most gorgeous redhead you can, who could probably destroy you, except she is too sweet and cuddly. 

This is my very round-about way of giving thanks for the generosity of one of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and a Friendly Pride Reminder to cherish the trans women in your life, who are sent directly from heaven. 

This book is, unquestionably, one of my most prized treasures; reading it has made me incredibly happy. I kind of exploded when she gave it to me a few years ago, and I am so grateful to have friends like her– which is to say, much, much cooler than me, incredibly generous, wicked hot, and with great taste in literature.

I probably don’t deserve a book or friends this good, because I am a reclusive trash hermit, but I am so, so thankful nonetheless. ❤
