Might as well tuck into this thread as it's related to the
Queen's length of reign...may she move beyond Arveleg II and
Aranuir...

A "Big Jubilee Read" list of 70 books to read published during her 70
years of reign (released about the time of her birthday) does NOT
include TLotR (ranked first in 2003's "Big Read") or any other Tolkien
book.
