The LOTR Book Club will start in September and continue monthly, covering:&nbsp;<em>The Fellowship of the Rings<\/em>&nbsp;(September),&nbsp;<em>The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Two Towers,<\/em>&nbsp;(October), and&nbsp;<em>The Return of the King<\/em>(November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A beloved franchise, LOTR has always had a passionate and engaged reading fan base, and with all of the reader excitement for Prime Video\u2019s \u2018Rings of Power,\u2019 Marcus will be reacting and discussing the various connections between the books and the show as the series airs. He will host an interactive club where members can celebrate a shared love of the series and live video discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cReading&nbsp;<em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>&nbsp;has been one of my favourite escapes since I was a child, when the series first captured my imagination,\u201d said Marcus. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be able to take this journey through Middle-earth again with readers around the world in our new Amazon Book Club. I can\u2019t wait to share the experience and learn from the perspective of old fans and new alike!\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Book Clubs is a free service where readers join book clubs of all genres or create their own.
