My library haul for today. I was there for the tagged book, which came in as a hold, but I grabbed a few others. The “blind date with a book“ ones had been set up for Christmas, and I felt bad that so many had been left unborrowed, so I scooped up any that were fantasy/SF.
They were Raymond E. Feist's King of Ashes, Karen Lord's The Blue Beautiful World, and Zen Cho's Spirits Abroad, which I miiiight have already read, I'll have to check.
When you can‘t be near when you really want to be…. What do bookish people do? They read a gifted book that connects you ♥️♥️
pickThis remarkable, engrossing history of witchcraft and black magic extends from 1800 to 2015. Waters looks at the influence of imperialism and colonial cultures on England against the rise and fall of black arts. It's thoroughly researched and well written throughout.
Highly recommended.
I'm in dire need of some serious distraction from shingles pain.

Those is my happy palce this week. This is the book I read before I go to sleep at night. I‘m also reading “Outside Looking In” by T.C. Boyle and “The Dissident” - a book about Alexey Navalny. Neither one of them makes me smile, but I keep sighing and thinking what a broken world we live in. 😳😢But before lights out I learn about sheep with underbotes, and unruly Shetland ponies….

so-soJane Austen wrote & published most of her works during the Regency Period (1811-1820) & this book gives us a snapshot of the type of food that those who were quite well off would have been eating in this period. With recipes taken from the time, alongside quotations & short sections on different aspects of Georgian dining, this is a pleasant accompaniment to Austen's novels.
