After a very long time I started doing another global event map for January 3rd, 2026. This has been so much fun that I would love to do another and even bigger edition for this year’s Tolkien Reading Day. If you happen to have an event to add please do not hesitate to write to me [marcel(at)thetolkienist.com] or contact me via my socials (FB, IG, Threads, Bluesky). Even if your event hat already happened – please do let me know, I would love to add as many as I can.
