10 books is amazing! I do love audiobooks but unfortunately I tend to fall asleep listening to them 😂 I really want to read The Last Cuentista but I am on a no spend spree at the moment so may have to add to my Christmas list.
In October I read…
One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns. They are a two book set and I highly recommend them, dark and gothic but fun.
Wise Women by Sharon Blackie who I am loving at the moment, it is all about old women in European Folk Tales.
Witch in Darkness by Kelly-Ann Maddox which is just amazing, combining self and witchcraft beautifully.
Persephone’s Pathway by Jennifer Heather - it was ok.
Gruesome Fairytales by Annalee Adam’s which was the chosen book in a book box I ordered. I didn’t like it! It was badly written, it was just dark and depressing bordering on torture porn so not for me.
Mother Earth is Calling You by Sonraya Grace. I picked this up in a charity shop and it turns out that she is a local author and hosts lots of spiritual events which is cool. The book was ok, it was a bit too ‘spiritual’ for me.
The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore. Not really my type of book but the Facebook group that I am part of kept going on about it and it was available on Kindle Unlimited so I thought that I’d give it a go and actually I quite enjoyed it. It was a an easy comfortable read and I finished it in an evening.
I started the Throne of Glass series in September and got half way through before I needed a break so I’ll probably go back to those this month.
Ooooooh! I am definitely going to check out wise women and the one dark window duology. I am on book 3 of throne of glass. I want to listen to it but I don’t want to do audible. Why can’t the library just have it 😭 thanks for sharing all of these!!!
I also need to do a no spend… we’re going to ignore how much I’ve spent in 3 days hahaha.
I've only read the last cuentista from your list and I also loved it! This month I've been reading a lot of nonfiction. I finished What it takes to heal by Prentis Hemphill and it was great. I'm listening to Braiding Sweetgrass. Last month I read We, a Russian dystopian novel by Yevgeni Zamyatin. It's supposed to be one of the very first dystopian novels and it inspired George Orwells 1984. The author was exiled from Russia and was never able to return or publish his book in his country. It was good and important in my imagination studies. I might do a review or reflection in my newsletter.
Oooooh! How fascinating! I look forward to your Substack on it whenever you get around to it! I am finding myself transitioning out of fiction and into spiritual nonfiction. “Meet the Neighbors” is a book I’m listening to right now, and it’s about animal science. So while it’s not spiritual in genre, I feel like really studying animals and connecting with them is inherently spiritual. I’m excited to learn about the animals in this book 🤭 we were definitely a ZooBooks family growing up!
