5 Favorites from 2025
Door Jam: December 30, 2025
The Door Jam is a place to squeeze in articles about C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, their work, adaptations of their fantasy worlds, news from other franchises, and interesting articles. Unless otherwise stated, I’m not endorsing (or criticizing) any of these but merely sharing them with you.
Tomorrow, I’ll share your favorite articles at The Wardrobe Door in 20025. Today, I want to share five I appreciate from this past year.
Thank you all for joining me on this journey deeper into C.S. Lewis’ life and writing. These are five of my favorite pieces from 2025. Tomorrow, I’ll share the most-read articles published this year.
