Description:

September 22 is designated as Hobbit Day because it is the birthdate of two of JRR Tolkien's main characters - Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of Tolkien’s hugely popular 1937 children's novel, The Hobbit, was born on September 22, Third Age 2890. Frodo Baggins, the central character in the LOTR trilogy, on the other hand, is 78 years younger than Bilbo, having been born in the Third Age year of 2968.

SWAP DETAILS: send a store bought or commercially made postcard or notecard to your one (1) partner about what you like about Tolkien books.


Things to discuss/write about:

  • when was the first time you read Tolkien?

  • favorite character & why

  • how many times have you read the books?

  • did you watch the movies first or read the books first?


Highly encourage prompt and (always) fair RATING.

Happy Reading, Happy Swapping


Fun Fact:

  • There is some debate whether Hobbit Day is on September 22 or September 12, as the LOTR and Hobbit calendar does not synchronize with the Gregorian Calendar.
