#CuriousCovers Day 15- This book on big history by David Christian has #stars on the cover. In this book he starts with the Big Bang and over 500+ pages takes you up to the twentieth century.

Photographed in front of my wall chart of big history 🙂.

Eggs Sounds amazing 🌟👏🏻🌟 3y

Excellent Women | Barbara Pym

#CuriousCovers Day 14- These are two editions of one of my favourite books by one of my favourite authors.

The edition on the left is a Folio Society edition that I found second hand for a dollar at a thrift store. The book has beautiful colour plates but it also has a coffee ring stain on the front cover 😱😱😱. The #woman in red on the cover is Mildred Lathbury, the book‘s narrator & one of the excellent women referred to in the title.

Eggs Love this ❤️📚👏🏻 3y
Ruthiella I have that same Plume Penguin paperback edition. I think they are so pretty! 3y
In_the_stacks @Ruthiella I agree 😊 3y
LeahBergen Ooo, love! I have that Folio edition, too. 3y

#CuriousCovers Day 12- This book that fits today‘s #gold prompt is one of my favourites 😊. It‘s a huge and beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of British folklore, covering everything from magic lore about trees to traditional music to traditional childhood games to an overview of seasonal festivals, etc. It also has a huge section on myths and legends specific to each region of Britain.

Eggs 🧡📙🌟📙🧡 3y
persephone1408 That looks so interesting! 3y
In_the_stacks @persephone1408 It is such a good reference book! 😊 3y

#CuriousCovers day 11- I have taken care to bleep out part of this #orange book‘s title for the photo, but sometimes depression deserves a few choice words! This is a very small book/ zine (60 pages) that the author has described as “an anti-depression guide/ guide to a more lawless life”. It is a good quick read that I probably would have enjoyed reading even more as a teenager, but I enjoyed it well enough when I read it a few years ago.

#CuriousCovers Day 10- This book by the German theologian and poet Dorothee Soelle has #AbstractArt on the cover. This book has been on my TBR shelves for a very long time, but reading through the table of contents I am reminded why I bought it in the first place 😊.

Eggs Well done 👍🏼📚🤗 3y
MayJasper My favourite abstract art today 👍 3y

#CuriousCovers Day 9- The tagged book fulfills today‘s prompt for a #purple cover. This is an interesting book, kind of an anthropological history of beer and fermentation practices. Buhner‘s main point is that traditionally beer was made from a variety of plants, and typically included medicinal and psychoactive plants (Buhner is an herbalist). There are recipes here too (including one for wormwood ale!), but I haven‘t tried any of them.

Eggs I see several more purples on the shelf! 💜📚💜 3y

Arabel's Raven | Joan Aiken

Day 5 #Curiouscovers- I discovered Joan Aiken‘s Wolves Chronicles children‘s books as an adult, and I love the ones that I‘ve read so far. Her books are so much fun to read!

This is another one of her books (not in the Wolves Chronicles series) that is still in on my TBR, about a little girl and her mischievous pet #bird named Mortimer. The illustrations in this edition are terrific.

SamAnne @In_the_stacks I have two of his fermentation books. Several years ago the New Yorker ran a great profile on him. Worth googling. 3y
In_the_stacks @SamAnne thanks for the recommendation I will have to look that New Yorker article up. I‘ve borrowed one of his fermentation books from the library and I liked his whole philosophy about fermentation, food, etc 😊 3y
