Lifel1k3, Jay Kristoff

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, J.R.R. Tolkien
Happy Middle earth March 2018, everyone!! Was there ever a character so beloved, yet mysterious, as the effervescently-odd Tom Bombadil? Admittedly, I didn’t have a damn clue what people were talking about years ago, when the die-hard literary Tolkien fans… Read More ›
The Barefoot Investor, Scott Pape
