pickI far preferred the audiobook for this one. Rubenhold did a wonderful job of humanising these women, as well as addressing the importance of Not forgetting them amidst the infamy of their killer. It is sad just how much of the views of these women in their day are making a come back today. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Trying this again as an audiobook. Fingers crossed.

pickSort of like the Braiding Sweet Grass of English people; where the traditions and connection wasn‘t taken away by colonialism, but from neglect and the invasion of Christianity centuries ago. Here, the traditions have been lost entirely, so there are many guesses and many failed attempts. There is little to no cultural memory of such connectedness and tradition.
I always intended to read this after a reread of Wintering, but this seems even more fitting now than it did in July when I bought it. I looked at the date today and went, crap. 10 more days of sanity. I‘m just not doing the news for the next 4 (or however many years). If something is important, someone will tell me. Something stupid was said and offended XYZ is NOT breaking news!

pickThis is such a lovely reminder that our modern view of always being productive and if you can‘t be productive, you are a waste, is not only false, but damaging to all of us. It is currently the real winter here in Northern Minnesota, but I‘ve been in my own personal winter since August, probably July. I was ready to hear this again, and I hope I have learned these lessons better for next time. We all know there will be a next time for all of us.
The first day is 3 weeks, but 4 Sundays away. The epigraph looks like it‘s about 2 pages, so that shouldn‘t be too bad if someone can‘t get this book until the following week.
2 Feb - Epigraph
9 Feb - Meetings Across the Tree of Life
16 Feb - A History of Animals
23 Feb - Mischief and Craft
2 Mar - From White Noise to Consciousness
9 Mar - Making Colors
16 Mar - Our Minds and Others
23 Mar - Experience Compressed
30 Mar - Octopolis
This also sounds fun. Let me know if you‘d rather read this (or something like it). This seems like it might be a bit more upbeat… which I feel like we need these days.

We talked about reading this in January, but I don‘t know how we‘re all feeling about this after the Sam Harris book.

pickJust when you think you‘ve got this one figured out… Just when I thought I knew what had happened and what everyone‘s secrets were... SURPRISE! The secrets are rather different.
This one is a slower burn than Paris‘s usual books. Perhaps her books are getting a slower burn as time goes on. I didn‘t dislike it, but it took a moment to realise I needed to settle in for duration (unlike some of Paris‘s others). It was well worth the wait.
I joined StoryGraph… just in base Jeff figures out there is something he owns that he hasn‘t ruined yet. I‘m the same there as I am here. #loonyandproud #storygraph

pickWTF DID I JUST READ?! Seriously?! I‘m not sure I even know what just happened. I‘m going to be processing this one for a while. This book is one hell of a mental trip. Just be ready to ask WTF repeatedly.

pickThis is another sweet, short story of beautiful, unique love. I love this just as much as I love The Solstice Prince. I love the idea as a human to love being part of (or the only part of) a dragon‘s hoard.

pickA slower start than some of Paris‘s other books, but so worth the slow build up.

Not gonna lie. I‘m a little nervous by all the DNFs I saw scrolling through the history of this book, but I do love a good B A Paris mystery, so I‘m jumping in anyway.

Anyone else unable to post photos on Litsy, or is this just me?
UPDATE: uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Logged back in. No change.
UPDATE 1/3/25: I can post some pictures but not others, which is extra frustrating, but at least the book I‘m currently reading I can post about at the moment.

bailedI‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.
#CarolynMcVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight #unpopularopinion #DNF #bail #couldntdoit
Okay, so no part of this paragraph makes any sense. She has velvet in her ears? I tried looking up the original story… IT DOES NOT EXIST! Is she just making this up (poorly) as she goes? That certainly explains a lot.
#CarolycVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight
@TheBookHippie you read this one, didn‘t you? What were your thoughts? I have officially gotten to the end of the intro and I am SO annoyed, I‘m not sure I want to continue… especially considering she‘s doing retellings instead of the original stories.
Wait, these are retellings? So she‘s using other cultures‘ stories from her own perspective? Gods help me. She is losing me FAST! Clearly she can‘t fathom that anyone would be welcoming the dark. Oh no. That‘s not her perspective so it doesn‘t exist here. 🙄
#CarolynMcVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight #retelling #misappropriation #annoying
Does she know what the word dalliance means, because this sentence suggests that she either does NOT or has no respect for the field of anthropology. Neither looks good. Then again, she‘s starting paragraphs (and by extension sentences with the word “and,” so I may have to skip her horrible introduction all together.

I could never remember the actual holiday on December 25th, but I knew it wasn‘t Saturnalia. Sheldon Cooper is wrong more than he is right, I swear. It makes him even more insufferable when you know just how often he is wrong. If he‘s so smart, shouldn‘t he know he is wrong and, you know, NOT be wrong?
#CarolynMcVicktarEdwards #ReturnOfTheLight #wintersolstice #sheldoncooper #tbbt #romanhistory #prechristianholidays
I actually bought this last year, but the beginning of the end of my job was starting and I was just too tired to read much, so I never read it. It feels like this is a good time to take this for a spin.
#CarolynMcVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight #WinterSolstice
so-soThis book certainly gives one things to think about and starts conversations; however, it leaves some questions. Perhaps this is meant as a simple introduction - which it did, sort of - but there is definitely more to be covered and answers to be had that are not found in this book.

I did accidentally read last week‘s chapter the well before, but I did come up with another question.
#FreeWill #SamHarris #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety
@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp
This book has become very… necessary… in recent weeks. There has been a lot of talk about us reading this. We talked about ending our year with Free Will. It may be a good plan to start our year with this. We could start the first weekend of January (1/5/25). That would give everyone time to get their hands on a copy, as some of us are having a moment trying to get our hands on one. Thoughts? Prayers? Anyone you‘d like to smack upside the head?
I think I accidentally read/listened to this week‘s chapter last week, but I need to double check for sure. How is everyone doing so far this week?
#FreeWill #SamHarris #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety
@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp
On this, the most stressful day (and probably week) of the year, how are you doing? Everyone getting some down time and taking care of themselves?
#FreeWill #SamHarris #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety

Sorry guys! I‘m sucking at life right now. I will post later today. I need anything to distract me from the dramatic wait to find it if I need to have my tubes tied and start putting in applications for political asylum.
