Book Review: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
This book was, in my opinion, the best book I read in 2022. It is also the first time I’ve been glad I did the audiobook as the author reads it herself. There is a lot we can learn from books like this. Now, I have always been enthralled with the history of North America […]

Book Review: The Morrigan by Courtney Weber
This was another audiobook which I’m finding a really need to get away from as I much prefer having physical copies especially of books I might want to refer to occasionally. It’s easier to flip through a paper or digital book to find something than an audio book. There are some complaints in the reviews […]

Book Review: Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn
This is one of those books that was recommended pretty much everywhere and looked pretty interesting so, it got wishlisted until I had available book money. I’ve had it for a bit, but it wasn’t at the top of my read pile until I saw Auryn’s next book. Because I really want to get to […]

Book Review: A Circle Round by Starhawk, Diane Baker, and Anne Hill
This is a pretty old book – it’s so old I don’t even have it anymore, but I have never forgotten it. When I had my first child in 2000, there weren’t really a lot of parenting books for people like me. When my husband brought this home, I can’t tell you how thrilled I […]

Book Review: Kitchen Witch by Katie Haegele and Nadine Schneider
That humble bundle I linked to the other day, I totally ended up getting it. And this was the first book I opened, really not expecting a whole lot to be honest. Most books with Kitchen Witch on the cover have been pretty underwhelming for me. I was very pleasantly surprised. There were a couple […]

Book Review: The Witchy Homestead by Nikki Van De Car
This is going to be a weird review that’s going to come off mostly negative even though I don’t normally do that this is an exception but it isn’t on my Not Recommended list – it’s not a bad book necessarily though there are places where it’s very wrong, there are interesting things but it […]

The Not Recommended List
I love books, I love reading, I love authors, and, in my day to day life, I am one. I write reviews because I know how much it can matter to the authors and to the readers. I do not tend to post negative reviews for books I don’t like. But there are exceptions. It […]

Book Review: Witchcraft for Beginners by Mari Silva
I know I complain a lot about everything being for beginners for someone who keeps getting books with Beginner in the title. Ditto Wicca… So what happened was this – I got myself a cheap used kindle as I hate reading things on the computer, my phone doesn’t have enough free memory, my nook isn’t […]

Book Review: Witch, Please by Victoria Maxwell
As seems to be both my preference and the norm for witchy books, it’s written in a conversational first person style. This is definitely a book geared for beginners. Again, if it hadn’t been in the humble bundle, I wouldn’t have picked it up because it is for beginners and I haven’t been one of […]

Book review: Italian Folk Magic by Mary-Grace Fahrun
My preference with books of this nature does seem to be an easy conversational style of writing and this book very definitely falls into that category. The author has an excellent knack for description. I am not Italian, nor have any experience with large raucous families but she describes it so well, I can picture […]
