3. J. R. R. Tolkien's letter from Aragorn to Sam Gamgee, in which the King of Gondor informs the hobbit of his future visit and expresses his desire to "greet all his friends."

This handwritten letter, penned in Sindarin Tengwar, was created as an epilogue to The Lord of the Rings but was not included in the published edition.

Mark Selby is not moving to do his interviews and media bits, despite official-y people trying to drag him away, because he is busy signing autographs and doing photos with fans. Brilliant to see.

Two divisions of Test Cricket is a terrible idea. The number of test playing teams is already too low - 12...of which only 9 currently feature in the World Test Championship. Widening the gap isn't the way to save the format...it's the way to bury it.

@LeachLorna @bertsbooks Genuinely impressed you managed it! It's been on my pile for most of the last year but I read A Suitable Boy and The Mirror and the Light and felt they were big enough for the time being!

@BradBrains27 @ElliotRoberts5 That is a great first sentence to take out of context.

Top 10 fiction and non-fiction books this year. Oddly, fiction is a much bigger pile! The best non-fiction books I read this year were all diminutive and the best fiction books were pretty chunky!

@ZeldaDungeon My favourite dungeon is Snowpeak. The atmosphere, the way it feels like a real place and the way you go through the dungeon and end up making a very good soup all make it feel very different and unique, and I love it.

This year our properties will host 58 Santa’s grottoes and 2 Mother Christmas story times. The Mother Christmas reading events are not new. The world may have gone mad but I don’t think this has been caused by 2 children’s reading events.
