TheBookHippie I‘m baking bread and bringing garden food to the group here. They have decided to bring it all to the migrant camp to bless them. I‘m currently looking up what bread is traditional for this. 1w

inthegreensandblues Happy Lughnasadh Chrissy! August is summer appreciation month for me (bc I used to be sick of summer by this time and hated it 😂). Enjoyed a bonfire this weekend and planning to spend as much time in the water as I can for as long as it's warm. 🧜‍♀️ 7d
Gissy Hi! Is your Litsy tbr updated? 5d
Chrissyreadit @Gissy I think so- i‘m checking now! How are you? 4d
Gissy I‘m okay. Busy but trying to read during the nights like now😃I have a couple of appointments so it‘s like a time to read while I wait🤣And you? How is everything? 4d
Chrissyreadit @Gissy Busy also- i feel like time is always moving so fast. But i have had a really good time with reading! 4d
Gissy @Chrissyreadit Good!!! We need to take advantage when we have time to read! Did you check your litsy tbr? I know sometimes is difficult. I‘m always checking mine because sometimes appears a book I owned 🤦🏽‍♀️But I‘m trying to update the list every time I buy or receive a book or if I order one. I also need to update my reading reviews in Litsy😳 2d
Chrissyreadit @Gissy - it should be up to date -❤️ 2d

In this book Laura Tempest Zakroff discusses her path and how to weave old traditions with modern witchcraft. I loved it 🦉

Mehso-so

I read this book with my online book group, the theme being witches/wizards. It‘s an interesting story inspired by the Pendle Witch Trials. It‘s very well researched and written. I did find it a bit plodding, however, and it‘s full of misery! Too much hardship and suffering. I was very pleased to turn the last page. And I can‘t wait to start something more cheerful!

I‘m reading this with my online book group, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main. The theme was ‘witches‘ so the chosen book is a story about the Pendle witches, https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-Pendle-Witches/. My copy of this book must be about 10 years old. I couldn‘t find it on my bookshelves at first but fortunately it at last turned up! It had added itself to the wrong bookshelf for some reason.😊. Excuse for a tidy up anyway. 😄

This book specifically talks about (imp) trials in history where someone was accused of being a "witch", why they were accused, who accused them, and what was at stake. We get to see how accusers conflated this idea of being a "witch" with religious beliefs involving the devil, as a way to really people to their side (bc oh no, the devil).

But my fav part was the contemporary section. I think that part brought things into perspective #feminism

How to properly evaluate a teen girl who has experienced trauma and now is withdrawn, says spooky things in a weird voice, and believes a witch is watching her, per the actual psychologist (and a reporter she barely knows but eagerly joined in this trip) in this book:

1. Pack a bag and move into the family's small house for an undecided length of time.
2. Have one private conversation with the afflicted girl of maybe 30 minutes' duration.
👇

LitStephanie 3. Perform a SEANCE like preteens at a 1980s slumber party to give credence and an audience to the poor girl's delusions/acting out, or, if there is some evil witch trying to possess the girl, she can be invited right in and cause further damage and trauma.

What? You think that sounds wildly inappropriate, unprofessional, and unethical, even if there is something supernatural going on? Then this is not the book for you. DNF.

Stanmore couldn‘t have stood less of chance.

However, much as I loved Idle Grounds, Moominland knocked it out of the running on the left side of the board. AND, much as I loved Moominland, I expect my Wild Card to sideswipe it in the end.

The drama!!!

monalyisha *Technically,* Anne of Green Gables should‘ve won the spot this month. But it‘s a long-time favorite. If I include it, I know it‘ll cease being a competition. So, let‘s agree to ignore technicalities. I almost always do, anyway! 😜 1mo
peanutnine I don't count rereads for my brackets, it feels like cheating and I want to see what new favorites I acquire! So I totally get you on that 1mo
monalyisha @peanutnine @CSeydel Glad we‘re in agreement about how to rebel! 😎 1mo

June ended up being more about quantity than quality. I‘m still surpassing my reading goals but I didn‘t LOVE anything this month (other than Anne, of course, which was a reread). Cunning Folk seemed like it was going to really do it for me, for a while, but it fell short stylistically.

Better luck next month, me!

Did my bestie and I wander away from the group today to collect water from Mama Superior, rocks, and driftwood for magical purposes? Yes. Yes we did. No one should be surprised. #sorrynotsorry #haikuhive #haikuaday
