I‘ve found myself to be in the position recently needing to downsize my personal library. While taking some books to Half Price Books, I came across this gem among the stacks. It doesn‘t count if I buy it using the money earned from selling books, right!? 😅
pickI‘ve loved John O‘Donohue‘s writing in the past. His book of blessings (To Bless the Space Between Us) always has something rich and meaningful to offer, and I‘ve often come across quotations from O‘Donohue‘s work that are exactly what I need when they cross my path. So I had high expectations for this one, having had it on my TBR for some time.
O‘Donohue offers an exploration of Celtic spirituality as he examines friendship, the senses, ⤵️
“The divine has such passionate creativity and instinct for the fully inhabited life. If you allow yourself to be the person that you are, then everything will come into rhythm. If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. Sometimes the great famine of blessing in and around us derives from the fact that we are not living the life we love, rather we are living the life that is expected of us.”

April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?
My #BestBookoftheSummer was A Thousand Ships, which I read with #LiteraryCrew . What was yours?

so-soThis was my #BookedinTime pick for Ancient Celtic Ireland. Unfortunately most of the book was set outside of Ireland. It was okay, not mind blowing by any means. I liked the evolution of Epona and her relationship with Kazakh. I‘ve enjoyed Llewelyn books in the past, so I‘ll try another.

📖 Atlas of the Celtic World by John Haywood, foreword by Barry Cunliffe
