Hey Elle and Luke! I don't know if you've ever seen it, but if you want an even deeper layer if immersion in Tolkien's world, I cannot recommend highly enough the maps of Barbara Strachey, which were published in book form as "Journeys of Frodo": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeys_of_Frodo It's a bit of a treasure-hunt to find a copy, as the last time it was in print was about twenty years ago, I think (there are copies bouncing round Amazon but none of them are cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Journeys-Frodo-Atlas-Tolkiens-J-R-R-Tolkiens/dp/0261102672). But it's well worth it. The detail on the maps is so fantastic, and Strachey maps the routes, day by day, that all the characters take in LOTR, based on scouring geographic details from all of Tolkien's books. It's incredible work!
