Aspects of a hygge way of being discussed in this book affirmed my own life and inspired me to adopt more hygge-ish practices.
Always solid, sometimes moving, frequently historically educational; Maisie Dobbs remains a favorite.
Affirming. Menopause isn't a disease to be fixed.
I'd like to talk with someone that's read this book about their impression of it.
Well, the ending made me cry. It is such a good story. I highly recommend it.
Maria Merian is a name you should know.
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party by M. T. Anderson
Painfully good. I will be reading the rest of the trilogy.
Heart breaking and hopeful for those reasons it's a challenging worthwhile read.
Another cozy mystery on PlayAway wonderfully read by Graeme Malcolm. I'll be hunting down more of these titles.
I'm not an easy sell on time travel, but this story line was intriguing.
The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series) by Alexander McCall Smith
Listened to this on PlayAway device from the library. Cozy mystery.
This novel was slow going at first, but I had heard such good things about it, I kept reading. In the end, I'm glad I did. Setterfield wraps enthralling story inside a story inside a story with some mystery to keep the reader going.
Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World by Rosalind Wiseman
If you have boys or work with boys, this book is a great tool. She offers suggestions for things to say in certain situations and has little sections about what not to say she calls landmines.
Wow! What great, affirming ideas for fighting back against rampant depression and anxiety. Who wants to join me in a fight for universal basic income?
I'd read another by Rearden. He kept me wondering and I learned some things about the Yup'ik that I didn't know. After seeing how the poor were treated in New Orleans during the tragedy of hurricane Katrina, how much less likely would it be for help to be sent to a plagued remote village in Alaska?
What a great, uplifting read. I chuckled and my eyes teared up, often in the same paragraph. I recommend it highly.
Someone read this and tell me what I just read.
Amazing! I'm recommending this to everyone.
Thoroughly entertaining and interesting. There are so many ways to dispose of &/or use your body after you have moved on.
It started out slow and dry, but I found myself enjoying the last 3/4 of the book.
Small Move, Big Change: Using Microresolutions to Transform Your Life Permanently by Caroline L. Arnold
This book has been so helpful to me. If you are struggling to make big changes in your life, start small. Start by reading this book and putting the author's suggestions into practice.
Bauby has "locked in" syndrome. This book was written using his left eye to blink out the coded alphabet to his assistant who transcribed it for him. It's a meditative book and reminded me of The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Tova Bailey.
This is a book of daily meditation prompts and wisdom. I initially borrowed it from the library, but quickly realized I wanted to own it.
