A Short History of Myth | Karen Armstrong
I loved this book, A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong so much. It is thought provoking and packed with mythology and stories. It critiques the relationship between myth and history, challenging traditional interpretations. reflecting tension between the concepts of myth and historical narrative. I’ve been on a long study about ancient mythology, specifically pre-hellenic mythology and…
The Gift of Story | Clarissa Pinkola Estes
This was such a captivating read. Another short addition to my May TBR, yet it holds so much depth within its pages. It’s the kind of book that resonates differently with every reader, reaching various layers of the psyche in deeply personal ways. I find it difficult to fully capture the essence or purpose of this book in words, largely because I believe its meaning shifts depending on who is…
Children of Time | Adrian Tchaikovsky
*Possible spoilers I absolutely loved this book! The story was so thrilling and unlike anything I’ve read before. I’m still fairly new to sci-fi, so I can’t claim to be an expert, but this one really stood out. The evolution of the spiders was fascinating. It gave me a whole new perspective on them and, oddly enough, made me feel a little more connected to them. I never expected to relate to…
Lost Goddesses of Early Greece | Charlene Spretnak
Not all gods thundered from mountaintops. Some whispered through roots, rivers and wombs. This book by Charlene Spretnak was a quiet, but powerful reclaiming of the divine feminine in Ancient Greek mythology. Spretnak breathes life into the long-forgotten goddesses-wisdom keepers, life-givers, and spiritual guides—eclipsed by patriarchal retellings. A reflective, scholarly read for those craving…
The Undiscovered Self | Carl Jung
Finished reading this lovely gem. But can one truly be done reading any of Jung’s books once? Absolutely not, at least in my opinion. The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung is not about Jungian psychology as you might expect. Not in the way we are familiar (for the Jungians). It’s about discovering one self in the collective. Understanding to be an individual and the responsibility that comes with…
Meditations | Marcus Aurelius
This book has been on my “tbr” list for ages, and I thought it would be perfect to take along on my trip. It pairs perfectly with the atmosphere of the cottage by the sea. I’m only a couple of pages in, so I don’t have thoughts to share yet. However, I do like that in the introduction we get a brief history lesson on Marcus Aurelius, his father and reign. Have you read it? Did you enjoy it?
Whale Fall | Daniel Kraus
I’ve been behind on my reviews! Get ready for an influx of book reviews on the blog! I had the pleasure of reading Whale Fall by Daniel Kraus. The novel follows Jay Gardiner’s gripping journey as he battles for survival after being engulfed by a sperm whale. The narrative weaves together Jay’s harrowing ordeal inside the whale with contemplations on his complex connection with his deceased…
Empire of the Damned | Jay Kristoff
This review is way overdue! I’ve been traveling abroad with little to no internet and its about time I get back to my book reviews! This series is a must-read. The second book is engaging, offering a recap of the first book through a historian’s account of the characters’ fates in Empire of the Vampire three years prior. Introducing new characters adds to the appeal. The book delves deep into…

Snippets | Thoughts
“Myth is other people’s religion, and religion is misunderstood myth.” -Joseph Campbell What a great book. This is from The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I’m still reading it, ever so slowly. Taking my time to read slowly and process his words. I approach Jung’s work in the same manner, dedicating my focus and attention to fully grasp the depth of the material. Do you also take your time with…

Ecstasy | K.V Rose
📖 I was taken aback by how much I enjoyed K.V. Rose’s book – it turned out to be nothing like I expected. This was my first read from her, but it certainly won’t be my last. The novel tackles personal relationships, addiction, and mental health, and I was deeply immersed in the turmoil and conflict between the main characters. 🤓As someone who is cautious about reading new authors in this genre,…

Update | Anatomy of Bibliomania
If you have been following my journey with Anatomy of Bbibliomania, you have probably noticed I’ve not post my daily thoughts on it. I think I may have underestimated this project- HA! After reading a chapter a day and writing my thoughts for a while, I quickly realized that I may have added more into my schedule than I anticipated. Sadly, my current schedule does not allow me for daily writings.…

Of Books In General | Anatomy of Bibliomania
“..a room without books was as a body without soul.” Cicero, as cited in Anatomy of Bibliomania, p 35 This next chapter of the book was lovely to read. Jackson was able to weave together the love for books not only from himself, but from various poets, authors, philosophers, and clergyman into this chapter. Such as Cicero, Plato, Whitman, Milton, Thoreau, and Liu Tsung-Yan to name a few. He…

Introduction | The Anatomy of Bibliomania by Holbrook Jackson
Quite a surprise.. Well, how to begin. First, I’d like to mention that I did not research, looked up the author or skim through the book. The most I did before embarking on reading one chapter a day since the day I bought it was read the title and table of contents. I had no prior notions or thoughts about the book. The book is section off by parts instead of chapters. In this case, I am going…

A Chapter A Day | Possible New Series
I’m going to start something, an exploration or new series. Continuing with my conversation about “books about books,” here’s what I am thinking. I’ll read one chapter a day, starting with my most recent purchase, The Book About Books: The Anatomy of Bibliomania. Then, I’ll write a snippet about my thoughts, interesting tidbits and so on. This would not only motivate me, but it will be…

Antimatter Blues | Edward Ashton
This was such a fun read. Antimatter Blues is a science fiction story where you follow Mickey7, who is an expendable heading out to explore the new world for the human habitation. The world building was excellent. It was lighthearted, humorous and the characters were easy to follow and enjoy. They each had their own charm. When I got this, I didn’t realize it was the sequel. I did eventually…

Once Upon a Tome | Oliver Darkshire
This was a delightful read. Who wouldn’t enjoy a book about booksellers, particularly antiquarian booksellers? This memoir describes how the author became an apprentice bookseller at an old bookshop in London. It was a clever and interesting look into the antiquarian book trade. Well written and packed with intriguing book-related information. I enjoyed his stories about cataloguing, book…
