#14Books14Weeks , book 12. Almost done with number 13, hopefully tonight. Part way through number 14. ?? I admit, I chose this book for the cover alone. I mean, really, don't you just love it? (Turns out Anjuli is "not an animal person" and she admits that "holding the rooster on the cover of this book was a scariest thing I've ever done".) The content is pretty solid; filled with honest, touching, sometimes (cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy heartbreaking, insightfull, inspiring anecdotes from the authors life. Anjuli writes with wonderful insight, gives sone good advice, and reasonable action stratagies. This book weighs in heavily with a religious standpoint which I'm fine with, but for some reason, I had an issue with the author continually referring to her readers as "sister". Yes, I know the meaning behind this. But for some reason, it seemed over used and was slightly annoying to me? Overall, I enjoyed this book, Thanks to goodreads and the pub for sending it to me ? 7mo
Soscha True facts here: I am an animal person & non-domesticated roosters not raised to be handled like a pet can ef you TF up. Pissed off chicken baby velociraptors. (Who were their antecedents, theropods! 🦖) (edited) 7mo
Soscha I love them to death though. Check out “Bree & Me”. Bree is a companion, raised as one. 🐓 7mo

Book 11 of #14Books14Weeks . Yes, I'm behind LOL! But, the final 3 are all in progress. And although they may not all be finished by Labor Day night, they will be finished soon. I love anything by Claire Cook, both her fiction and nonfiction. Life Glows On is such a good book about embracing who you are. And where you are in life. About finding and tapping into your creative side. Whatever that may be, and however, that may look for you 👍😊

#TBRTarot #14books14weeks

My last book of August just under the wire. This was a fantastic imagining of Joan of Arc. From her childhood, her rise to fame and her fall it is just incredible to think she was a teenager. I knew a little but this book makes me want to know more about this badass woman warrior.

Well I only got halfway done with my #14books14weeks reading challenge hosted by @TheHeartlandBookFairy I'm pretty proud of myself haha even though I didn't finish! I'm still gonna work through this stack throughout the remainder of this year! Thanks so much for hosting.

TheHeartlandBookFairy I'm so glad you joined this, nothing ventured. Nothing gained right?! I have 4 more to finish my self. I'm in some stage of progress with 3 of them and will be into the fourth one by Monday. I won't finish the mall by Labor Day. But, I will finish them all soon. We are in the same boat 😁 7mo
KateReadsYA @TheHeartlandBookFairy That's amazing!!!! I'm glad you got most of them read. Which was your favorite of your stack?! Mine has to be between the yellow wife and the ghost bride. Both 5 star reads for me. 7mo

Mehso-so

Alice has to juggle a protective mother, Nightmarish creatures from Wonderland only she can fight, promises to friends, & a recently poisoned mentor who needs a hidden artifact to be cured. But no big, right?

I enjoyed this a lot. I liked Alice as a character. I liked the balancing act between real life & the mystical forces she fights. But I felt really unsatisfied with the ending, & there wasn‘t a lot of character depth beyond Alice.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

BookmarkTavern #NoBuy2023 @PuddleJumper On your shelf for over a year, #JolabokaflodSwap gift from @TheDaysGoBy Thank you again for the gift! I‘m sorry it took so long to get to it. 😅 Ah! Forgot! This was also a #14Books14Weeks read! @TheHeartlandBookFairy (edited) 7mo
TheDaysGoBy Aw no sweat! Sorry it was only a so-so! Always nice to get it off the book shelf though and make room for others 7mo
