Welcome to Litsy!

This book started out strong, but it took a nose dive when it got to the magical part of the book. That section seemed very dated and had a strong Wiccan perspective. As someone who is not Wiccan, I was annoyed with the blanket statements he made where it felt like he was giving the reader a harsh morality lesson. It was so bad that I almost panned the book. If you can get past that sort of thing and not let it get to you, the rest of the book ⬇️

I finished this the other day but apparently forgot to review!! Jabbour explores wats to extend the gardening season via cold frames, row covers, unheated greenhouses, etc. She has a lot of practical information about building and using these items, and about what kinds of veggies will grow in these conditions. The second half of the book is a vegetable reference with tons of different veggies listed by cold/cool/warm needs, and the basics of⬇️

Happy #bookmail for my birthday! I'm also reading my way through Alys Fowler's backlist. First up: The Thrifty Forager. I've already tried dandelion greens from our yard; a bit bitter, but honestly not as bad as I expected! (I'm also watching Fowler's Edible Garden series. I'm obsessed!) #currentlyreading

I thought the beginning was slow to get moving. The girls are seniors and all 4 best friends. One of them, we are told, will become the president of the US. But which one? I thought the struggles with family, adoption issues, and socioeconomic status were very well done. Also, the marginalization of people with physical disabilities, and handling of mental health issues.

Great book especially for a beginner like me!

I had no idea that this book was going to be so brash, and not in a good way. I thought the beginning was very boring, but as it got into Bourdain's addictions I started to get more interested. Rather than being about what it's like to be a chef or work in the industry, it's very specific to his experiences. Also, in later chapters he mentions other cooks dying by suicide rather crassly, which was very strange, especially on audiobook

Absolutely my FAV book right now. It‘s a lovely fast but easy read and is divided up into chapters that highlight plants according to their features, such as those that have spines and are know for their physical dangers or those that were traditionally used in food and potions.

Went to #Jamestown Settlement today for the 3rd Annual Intertribal Powwow. Came home with a shirt, a couple books, a pair of wampum earrings, and a buckskin purse.
