Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore & Fairy Tale | Sarah Robinson

pick

Dive into the world of legends and fairytales with a food focus as you learn about the magical and health properties of foods. I loved this, it was such an interesting and informative read. It was especially fun learning about alewives. #Magic

Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype | Clarissa Pinkola Est�s Phd

pan

This may have once been groundbreaking, but it has not aged well. It is certainly not as universal as she assumes. It is highly gender normative, making it stunningly uncomfortable. The writing is repetitive and annoying. The tone is arrogant and snobby. This needs a serious update and attitude adjustment to keep any of the promises of its reputation.

TheBookHippie 30 plus ? years ago it was transformative and I hope it gets an update. Some good nibblets in it but MAN …. You really have to dice it up to get the good bits. Still- I‘m grateful for every life it saved and touched. For some women this saved their lives and I cannot discount it. 1w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie for women whose lives were truly saved by this book, yes, I will give it credit for that. I can‘t help thinking it‘s actually hurting some folks she would call women (and some she wouldn‘t who would call themselves women) today. It‘s definitely not for everyone. 1w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics me screaming at book YOU DO NOT NEED A MAN. … need… NO. But 30 years ago it wouldn‘t get published if it was anything but heterosexual. It assumes you have to have a partner. Single people exist happily. Sigh. And yes … there‘s no room for any LGBTQIA peeps when it was published it was lesbian or gay maybe BI never Trans and even then… nope. I am so afraid we will go back there … 1w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie you and me both 1w

All right, I‘m officially calling it quits. I don‘t have the bandwidth for this book, I never want to pick it up, and I‘m not getting out of it what I‘d hoped to (and what I get out of Jean Shinoda Bolen‘s books, really). So, for the second time, this one has defeated me.

kspenmoll I stopped reading it long ago. 2w

ImperfectCJ @kspenmoll Me, too. 2w

ravenlee @kspenmoll I‘m calling it now, but I haven‘t actually touched it in a couple months. I tried! I really did. 2w

Chrissyreadit do you want me to remove you all from tag list? @ravenlee @kspenmoll @ImperfectCJ 2w

ravenlee @Chrissyreadit I kinda want to keep lurking and see what y‘all have to say about it, actually! 😆 2w

Chrissyreadit awesome!!! ok- i just didn‘t want to annoy/spam anyone. 2w

ElizaMarie I haven‘t picked it up in forever either- but eventually I‘ll read it. Maybe —- 2w

Murder Ballads: Illustrated Lyrics & Lore | Katy Horan

Read a great review of this book in the NYT (of all places) and it sounded fascinating. This is an illustrated history of 20 (or so) murder ballads from Europe and the US and I‘m anticipating a very interesting read.
