Another beautiful day at the shop, another lush fantasy novel from Jacqueline Casey. These books are compulsively readable and seriously hot 🥵

Soubhiville Cool looking shop! And JC is one of my faves. 😊 3d
StaceGhost @Soubhiville thanks! There‘s a lot of lovely old and dead things here. And wow is JC fantastic! I‘m three books away from finishing with the D‘Angelines but I‘m going to continue reading all her books 3d

Hard-pressed to think of a better way to spend my day than breaking up housework with little stints of reading on the porch and playing with babies— both furry and otherwise ❤️

Bissell is annoying in that mediocre flavor of a particular kind of gamer but he gets an insight here and there— so many male writers who just need to get therapy

By contrast, Spiritfarer (pictured) is a lovely game and I highly recommend it, especially if you have been dealing with grief or losing loved ones to dementia

I forgot how funny this was! We‘re reading it for my Science Fiction before 1660 course…

that‘s right, you may have learned science fiction wasn‘t a thing until much later but this class makes a strong argument against that timeline

What a wonderful novel about love and loss and play. I don‘t know if the writing was good, but it was evocative and very clever.

I‘ve always had a hard time evaluating books, because how do you distill something so complex? It‘s like trying to rank your friends, which is amoral (I think).

That said, I enjoyed every minute spent in this world and deeply connected to the theme, story, and Easter eggs. I have a feeling I‘ll be rereading this one.

A fantastic book! Funny and heartfelt and sad.

This book reminds me of the term tragic optimism. Originally coined by a holocaust survivor, it refers to the way those experiencing traumatic loss can find deeper meaning and purpose amidst the broken pieces. The opposite of toxic positivity, it admits the hardships and grief we all inevitably face.

This book has some of that. It‘s also funny and very cute. (Meme image shared for levity.)

I also found this tunnel through the trees outside my local library— do you think if I passed through it I would end up in another time?

Just started the tagged book and already loving the section on self defense. Mundane protection magic ✨ lots of excellent advice— did you know you really shouldn‘t wrap your key ring around your fingers?

Also, finished the library wrap by two of wands! It‘s definitely not right— I dropped a lot of stitches so it‘s much, much shorter than intended! Still, it feels right for me. And I can always try again! #hookersoflitsy #knitsy

I just picked up this book from the library in anticipation of my first real vacation this year! I‘m anxious, burnt out, & broke— either the best or the worst way to go on vacation, I haven‘t decided yet.

Maybe it‘s Pluto going back to Capricorn one last time, maybe it‘s the upcoming full moon, maybe it‘s the Tower card I‘ve been pulling or the demolition dreams I‘ve had but I need a transformation and release. Anyone else? #travelingstars

Just got the tagged book at the library! Can‘t wait to dive into the steady cadence of RWK‘s prose 🌊

I‘ve seen some criticism about her writing, how she portrays indigenous cultures as the only ones living in harmony with nature. I disagree with this criticism.

I also question whether an author from a more dominant culture would receive this kind of criticism. What do you think?

📸by Rebecca of aclotheshorse

Cuilin 1. There maybe some truth about indigenous cultures living in true harmony with nature. 2. Therefore this is a voice to trust on this subject matter. I‘m reading about the Sami whose voices regarding climate change and their lives on the frozen tundra are not being heard. 7mo
StaceGhost @Cuilin that‘s how I feel about it as well. I couldn‘t think of any cultures, aside from indigenous peoples, who live in harmony with their environment. But even more than this, it‘s weird to criticize her perspective when it‘s her culture she‘s writing from and about. 7mo
StaceGhost @Cuilin which book are you reading? It sounds excellent! 7mo

I‘ve decided to break up with Goodreads so I‘ve been exploring some new reading apps like Audrey (pictured), an audio app with guided commentary, and alternative book trackers like StoryGraph and Beanstack.

Anyone else use these or similar? I‘m open to recommendations!

IndoorDame I switched over from goodreads to StoryGraph last year and I couldn‘t be happier! 9mo
MoonWitch94 Why are you breaking up with Goodreads? ((Just curious)). And I have heard a lot of good things about StoryGraph. I may check it out. 9mo
psalva I use Story Graph. I love the nuanced options such as .5 and .75 star marks, options to DNF, and the ability to assign books to specific prompts in a read along. 9mo

StaceGhost @MoonWitch94 I so rarely review on there and a lot of my family has joined— the worlds are colliding lol— but really just because I want to see what else is available 9mo
StaceGhost @IndoorDame @psalva good to know! It looks like the data it gives you is really in depth! Thanks for the feedback! 9mo
IndoorDame @StaceGhost the only things I feel the need to keep goodreads around for are that occasionally I want access to my old data, and they have this one amazing group that tracks down books you can‘t remember the titles of with whatever scant ridiculous details you do remember about it. That group has literally never failed me, and I‘ve found some things I was searching for years for with their help! 9mo
BrittanyReads I am really enjoying Storygraph!! 9mo
wanderinglynn I love StoryGraph — the interesting graphs; .25, .5, .75 ratings; the annual reading challenge can be number of books or pages or hours or all 3; + all the other various reading challenges and the easy ability to assign a book to those various reading challenge prompts. Mostly I like that it‘s not owned by Amazon. 9mo

StaceGhost @indoordame that's a great rec-- I might have to use that channel. Do you have a link? I've been hunting for a really old and obscure book. 9mo

bibliothecarivs I've been on LibraryThing for 15 years (@bibliothecarivs) and mainly use it to catalogue my home library. I believe Litsy was started by a couple of their employees as a side project and is now owned by LT. I've been on StoryGraph for a couple months but haven't put too much effort into it yet. 9mo

This is such a great book 📖 I‘m so glad I‘ve found my bashert ❤️ this describes our relationship very well ⚔️ Seeing myself in a romcom shows me just how lucky I am 💕

This is a romance but it‘s also about living your truth, dealing with chronic illness and abandonment issues, the many kinds of unconditional love, and the beauty of faith, among other things.

What a fantastic fantasy! The best fiction tells the truth & this one certainly did ❤️ absolutely loved the mythos— magic is all around us; it‘s life itself 🪴
