This was without a doubt one of the most interesting books I've read. Part of my #nonfiction reading challenge this year this is going to be one of my favorites of the year. So much detailed information! This was really a page turner.

Read this one for book club! Really liked it and was totally engrossed the entire read. Others commented that there was too much detail, but I was really impressed with the research and detail. Such an incredible life. #nonfiction #history

I love author Katherine May and everything she writes. This book is a great read for any time of year, but I think it's especially appropriate for spring, with its messages of renewal and restoration and its focus on the elements of earth, fire, and air, and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. #nature #memoir #nonfiction #selfhelp #FridayNightShare #Naturalitsy #Litsolace #SpringEquinox

Suet624 Thanks for reminding me of this book. I purchased it when I was visiting Ireland and forgot all about it. 5d
TheBookHippie I like that you can reread these books and get something new each time. 5d

So many #nonfiction reads this month! Decided to pick this one up because I want to get back into art and also, I want to add art to my travel journal 😂 This book had A LOT of info, maybe a year's worth of uni classes?! Or close. It's not dense and uses images to show a lot of the key points, prompting ppl to just Start and learn through practice. I'd like a physical copy. There are also some prompts and tips for your nature sketching journey :)

What a gem of a book!

I am personally not a fan of positive affirmations. They‘re just not my thing and I find them overly optimistic. Disappointing affirmations are more up my alley so I ended up loving this book.

plemmdog I love these. The author was on the “I‘ve Had It” podcast last week and he read a few these aloud in his best Walter White Breaking Bad voice. 1w

Sort of obsessed that RWRB was my first introduction to the notorious George Villiers, and now Nicholas Galitzine (AKA Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor) is playing him in Mary and George! What an incredible series! I delved into the Jacobean era after reading RWRB for the first time, and love this series even more because of it. Thank you Casey McQuiston! #RWRB #CaseyMcquiston #queerhistory #HistoryHuh #nonfiction #LGBTQ

What an insightful look into the world of Barbie!

This book was originally published in the 90s, but this edition has a new preface which does discuss the Barbie movie. In the preface, the author also discusses that she left the book unchanged so it‘s a large reflection of the 90s.
