Lazy Witchcraft for Crazy, Sh*tty Days (Easy Spells and Rituals for When You’re Stressed Out, Wiped Out, or Just Have No More Spoons to Give by Andrea Samayoa 

US pub date - 10/15/24

I’m a long time fan of witchcraft books, and ones that are 1) catered to spoonies, 2) on a proverbial shoestring, and 3) lazy? Count me in. 

I loved the spoons per recipe, and the layout was appealing, but this one didn’t really work for me. I don’t know if it was due, in part, to the awkwardly placed swear words, but I found it all a little cringe and wasn’t able to connect with the message (this isn’t anything against the book, it was me). 

Thank you to Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for the PDF

The Great Menopause Myth: The Truth on Mastering Midlife Hormonal Mayhem, Beating Uncomfortable Symptoms, and Aging to Thrive by Kristin Johnson; Maria Claps

US pub date - 9/10/24

What worked - 

*non-HRT suggestions provided (if with judgment) 

What didn’t - 

*not remotely vegan friendly 

*the authors really push HRT - and make it seem like the only reason not to is when one medically cannot - not everyone wants HRT 

*not everyone who menstruates and goes through perimenopause is a woman 

This wasn’t one of the better books I’ve read on the topic of menopause and if you’re not interested in hormonal therapy, this isn’t a book I’d recommend.
