Welcome to Litsy!

Devdutt Pattanaik, a renowned mythologist, explores Purushartha—the four aims of human life in Hinduism. These include Dharma (righteousness and moral duty), Artha (material wealth and prosperity), Kama (pleasure and emotional fulfillment), and Moksha (spiritual liberation and self-realization). Pattanaik highlights how these goals help individuals balance ethics, wealth, desires, and spirituality, leading to a fulfilling and harmonious life.

Finished my last book by Beth Krommes and absolutely loved everything about it. The artwork was superb as well as the fantasy tales of different creatures like fairies, gnomes, selkies, etc. Learned more about the fictional creatures and it's perfect for any age to read this book.

#Bibliophile Day 24: This book is a good fit to #LostRoyalty. In this story, the reader gets to see how this impetuous, staunchly-disobedient young girl was able to chart her own path and meticulously follow a set of enchanted rules (which includes recognizing her man no matter how horrible the shapes he would magically assume) – to save the day and be the heroine in the story.

I‘m going to have to bail on this one. The writing is dry and it reads like a dissertation. Example “At the point when Perceval rides out into the grey and empty dawn from the deserted castle, we are two-fifths of the way through Chrétien‘s work in its unfinished form.” That‘s a sentence chosen at random. ? I wanted to like it, but when reading becomes a chore, I‘m out. Too many good books out there. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

It‘s so much fun reading the different versions! Each one is slightly different. All the illustrations have been beautiful. Soon I‘ll start the Crown of Twelve: A Twelve Dancing Princesses Novella which is the 1st of the Crowns of the Fae Trilogy ( or novella + duology)

At the airport waiting to fly home and I've been alternating between the tagged book and the audiobook of Dickens's A Christmas Carol. #CozyChristmas
