Instead of writing “Fairy Art” in the draft of my next paper, I wrote “Dairy Art”, so sorry to the conference organisers but I will now be discussing Lord of the Rings latte art.

I may have submitted my PhD thesis earlier this week, that doesn't mean my #Tolkien adventures are over! I'm still writing weekly updates on Tipeee regarding the different papers I'm preparing and my quest for publication. 👀

Thank you Marcel, I'll try to get the message across ! 🥹

The fact that I'm doing this with an eye infection is just a detail in the grand scheme of things but it's also another proof that my body has been quietly shutting down since my defence. As if it was telling me I've done my life work and now I can decay in peace.

This Barbie has submitted the final_definitive_last_revisions_check version of the PhD thesis to the university for archiving. 😌

Bravo Manon !! 🎉

It's well deserved !

The excellent @joelmerriner.bsky.social is shortlisted for his just-as-excellent book on Tolkien illustrations in the Soviet bloc ! I know who I'll be voting for !

Oh mais c'est adorable 🥺 je suis très très touchée !

A sad day. I never managed to interview Michael Hague for my PhD thesis, but his work features significantly in there.

No worries ! I'm still half on holidays so I've been blatantly ignoring emails 🤭

Thank you Joel ! We won't let the autocorrect have the last word. 😌

Thank you !

Thank you kindly John !

Des conférences sur Tolkien *et* Robin Hobb ? J'y serai (en ligne) !

Merci beaucoup Brian !

Thanks a lot !

Thank you Pete ! ✨

Thank you Luke !!

Après un peu de vacances, les corrections ne devraient pas prendre trop de temps (enfin, il faut quand même compter 499 pages de texte et 400 pages d'annexes) !

Thank you Tom ! It's been a long time coming but it's here !

Merci Olivier ! 🙌

That's meee (making it a point to prescribe lots of books and lots of little treats to my friends in the next few days, to tell them "just as the doctor ordered").

Thank you Una ! That will take a bit of practice but I look forward to seeing it in print in the near future. 👀

Thank you dear Mónica 🙌

Thank you Jeremy !

Absolutely one of the levels included !

I don't have many words left in me but this happened today and I'm now a doctor?

I am honoured on multiple levels !

Merci Manon 🥺
