A very good abridge version of occult history from the ancient to the emergence of Wicca.

I should not be allowed near books in shops, but here we are. Seeing as using the library has saved me over $800 since January first I think it‘s ok to buy myself one book, surely. Now where am I going to put it?

Clare-Dragonfly You could not possibly have been expected to resist that cover. 2d
Darklunarose @Clare-Dragonfly resistance was futile! And when I read the back I knew it had to come home. Dark academia, set in Scotland….yes please! 2d
bthegood And now I have to put this on my TBR 😂 (edited) 2d

I have been wanting to get some of the pagan portal books for a while. I‘m happy to have now started collecting. This will be my “spiritual” read for the next week or so.

Clare-Dragonfly Ooh, this sounds intriguing and I hear really good things about Morgan Daimler. 2w

This book has a lot of practical hands on ideas inside, which lead me to making a few things, including rich Esbat biscuits everyone here loved. I‘ll return to some recipes when the weather calms it self down to acceptable temperatures.

Yes a kids book (didn‘t see that when I ordered it in) but it seems to cover a lot of vampires so……I‘m going to give it a go.

Adelaide was the hottest city in the world today with near 43c. Needless to say I didn‘t set foot outside, cancelled anything I needed to do and anyone who normally comes in a Wednesday….

I read and read and slept and read some more, managing to finish the last 85 pages of this book.

Was it enjoyable…yes. Brilliant? Not really. I‘d give it 3/5 star.

Now to wait for the cool change to come in tonight and jump back into So Thirsty.

Bookwormjillk 43! Yikes! I hope it cools down soon. 2w

I‘m going to preface this with….i can not handle war. I never have been able to, it‘s such a horrible thing for people to live through and it is hard for me to read or watch.

That said I really enjoyed this book. It deals with the life of a displaced child during the Croatian war in the 90s.

Trigger warning for all the things and horror that go with war.

It wasn‘t here before Xmas but I‘m going to read it now it‘s in!

Gissy I have in my January 2025 tbr cart a couple of books related with holidays and I will do the same. They are waiting for me to be read to decide if I keep it or donate it. I‘m a season reader but I need a system too to read books from my tbr cart. I saw in the past that @TheAromaofBooks included in her current month #BookSpinBingo list, books not completed from previous month. Sounds great. Don‘t know if she stills do that.I need a system😱🤷🏽‍♀️ 3w
Darklunarose @Gissy that‘s a good idea. I just read as they come in from the library and sometimes that can take months. I can‘t stick to lists or anything cause I‘m an interest reader lol! If I lose interest in a topic it needs to move to the next! 3w
bumpinthenight I wanted to love this so much, but this book was pretty disappointing for me. I hope you enjoy it more than I did! 3w

I gave it 100 pages but I really just couldn‘t get into it. And, well life is too short and there are too many other books waiting….

willaful I loved book one and found this one so tedious I never went back to the series. 4w
Darklunarose @willaful that‘s what I‘m finding…it‘s really tedious. I made an agreement with myself of a chapter a day….and still couldn‘t get into it. I think having read 1/6th is enough for me to say I gave it my best shot 4w
Pogue @willaful agreed. The first one was good. The second not so much. 3w

Darklunarose @AnnCrystal it‘s the state over from us. Where we live is pretty safe….in Adelaide itself. But I think the LA bushfires might have slightly changed my mind….we have a national park at the top of the hill we live on…lots scrub and not loads of huge trees but…… 4w

I didn‘t expect to get through this book so fast. But I really enjoyed it and found myself making time to read a chapter or so each day. There is a lot in here about reclaiming the goddess oath and our feminine power.
