Echoing through the ages

I made some icons from a few of my favorite stories to keep up with my tradition of posting an icon set on my birthday. (It's actually tomorrow, but I'm going to be busy.) I got a bit rambly about why I decided to icon these fandoms so I placed it all under the cut. :) A tutorial for this style can be found here.

12 Lord of the Rings
9 Pride and Prejudice (2005)
9 Twilight

12. 15. 27.

:: Lord of the Rings is a story that captured my heart and imagination ever since I first saw it about 4 years ago. What I love most about LOTR is that it reminds me that even when things get difficult "There is always hope!" as Aragorn says.
:: Pride and Prejudice is usually what I want to watch when I want something that is soothing and calming... and I love how pretty it is.
:: Twilight is a brand new fandom for me - saw the teaser trailer for the movie and then I had to read the books. It dazzled me in much the same way LOTR did, which actually took me by surprise.

My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
-Psalm 62:1-2

Thank you! :) Eowyn is one of my favorite characters. :) I made an Eowyn set for [_lotr100] a few years ago that you might like to take a look at. :)
