I didn't save many links for you this week (it's been a busy week. You can read about part of our week here: Plot Twist). Strangely enough, two of the links that caught my eye are about J.R.R. Tolkien:
- Are Hobbits for Hippies? Or, How would J.R.R. Tolkien Vote? by Jonathan Witt and Jay Richards for The Federalist.
- The Hobbit: How the 'Clomping Foot of Nerdism' Destroyed Tolkien's Dream - and the Fantasy Genre by Laurence Dodds in the UK Telegraph.
And I loved this one for Christmas:
- Two Disgraced Women Who Changed the World by Rob Schwarzwalder at TGC.
Considering our recent announcement, it may be time to share this one:
- The One Thing to Tell Pregnant Moms: "Congratulations" by Brittany Meng for Christianity Today. "No family too big, no mother too young to hear our affirmation of life."
End of the year book lists are everywhere. If you have one, or you're looking for a good one, check this week's Saturday Review of Books at Semicolon.
Here are a few lists that have caught my eye over the past few weeks:
- 12 Book Lists from 2014 from Semicolon.
- My Top Books of 2014 from Tim Challies.
- Top 10 Books of 2014 by Kevin DeYoung.
- Top 10 Favorite Reads of 2014 by Trevin Wax.
- Christianity Today's 2015 Book Awards.
- Favorite Books of 2014 by Amy Julia Becker. (You can find my review of Becker's 2014 release here: Small Talk.)
Happy Reading! (And, if I don't get another chance to say so, Happy New Year! Can't wait to see what 2015 holds.)
