This book centers on the Herbana Witch, which is a type of witch who is connected to nature. The book is divided up into the 4 seasons and provides witchy information on plants, animals, and activities to do during each season. It was highly informative and I learned a lot of new things, especially regarding the properties of certain plants.

5⭐️ To say that I enjoyed the book would undermine the story that Ms. Beaton told in this #graphicnovel. What the author tells is a very powerful story, despite the complicated nature of the story. It‘s really hard to pin down what I liked about the book. But I think it was her being honest about went on in the camps in northern Alberta which made it a winner for me #2023 #nonfiction #memoir #bookreview #bookstagram

SamAnne One of my best reads of the year. 5d

When I was reading this I legitimately didn't know much about this game as I don't know much...OK nothing about rugby. At the end of this book I couldn't read fast enough to find out how it was going to end! Another one I highly recommend if you're looking for a solid #nonfiction read.

So a co-worker of mine suggested this one after I read Edurance saying I'd be sucked in...she wasn't wrong. Although I have zero interest in climbing a hill let alone a mountain like this one I was totally invested in the history and story. And of course I've ordered a few books mentioned in this one. #nonfiction #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

KristiAhlers This one was so good! He will be sucked in. 2w

Wow! First in America we aren't taught much about this conflict so I came in with a little knowledge conflict wise...but little to nothing about Churchills involvement. This man was so daring and audacious at the same time. This reads like a fast paced thriller...not what it is a very informative #nonfiction read. Highly recommend this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Hmmm sounds interesting and I'd never heard of Churchill's involvement, but I think it would make me too angry to read. Interesting how the people controlling the narrative get to call the other side "rebels" - and I suppose they damn well were! From the description the book sounds very pro-colonialism and Kitchener was a horrible man with the blood of countless women and children on his hsnfd 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Great review!! 2w

Am I listening to the Spotify playlists I found for the nonfiction comic I'm reading right now? Yes. Is it the most 70s music I've ever heard? Also yes. #BookPlaylist #MusicHistory #Nonfiction

IndoorDame I read that comic like 10 years ago, and I think I‘d have gotten WAY more out of it if I‘d had access to Spotify back then 3w
Kenyazero @IndoorDame I could definitely see that! I am not familiar with any of these artists, and this playlist has really helped me get an idea of what their styles were like. It's also fun hearing the music and learning about its context at the same time. 3w

Whilst this isn't a large book...it has a lot of interesting information as well as breaks down what is the Belle Epoque and how it influenced so many. If you're a fan of history and love the romance of the Edwardian time period along the French culture and its many influences you'll like this book. #bookspin #nonfiction @thearomaofbooks

No one is ever going to accuse me of being a science person...with that said I inhaled this one. A ton of history, a lot of science but in a way that's easy to explain and a lot about the countries and islands of the Dutch East Indies. I didn't want to put this one down. #nonfiction #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2w

For my #nonfiction #bookspin reading month I started off with this one. It was chilling, sad, and at the same time a total page turner. There are several first person accounts of this tragedy. Highly recommend this one. @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 2w
