The Fall of Númenor: Part 1 (Book Club Series) Tea with Tolkien

Hello and welcome to Tea with Tolkien, an online community for the Hobbit at Heart. We are inspired by the works, life, and Catholic faith of JRR Tolkien and strive to encourage others towards a deeper love and understanding of Tolkien’s Legendarium by hosting a free book club, providing free resources such as our Silmarillion Reader’s guide, and cultivating a vibrant and positive online community.

Our book club is currently reading through this newly released book, The Fall of Númenor, edited by Brian Sibley. This book was released last November, so just a few months ago at the time of recording, and our community voted and chose to read this for our first book club of 2023.

If you’d like to join in on the discussion, you can sign up for our book club at www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club to receive the link to our discord server.

For the sake of our book club, I’ve broken down The Fall of Númenor into ten sections and so today we’ll be covering the first ‘section’: from “About this Book” through “Before the Second Age”.

I’ll begin with a summary of each section, followed by a recap of our book club’s discussion for those who may have missed our live chat.

This week we are covering Part One: Introduction: “About this Book” through “Before the Second Age”
