#SeptemberSenses Day 15: Spinifex was to weave simple metals into gold by the Millennium, otherwise he is “finished” as commanded by the King. I like the fact that Spinifex was portrayed like this mad scientist reading gilt-edged tomes of knowledge, spilling chemicals every which way – and essentially being the researcher that he is. It appeals to my geeky #sensibility. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-3f

I got this book from our Library over the weekend. It is such a difficult read due to all the inner reflection and lessons that you can take out of it, so I decided to rather go and buy a copy for myself. This is not a novel to help fill your bookshelf but rather a compass each of us should own, then every now and again take out of our pockets just to make sure that we are still heading in the right direction and have not lost our way. #alchemist

I love that the author chose this particular artwork as the #Frontispiece

This was illuminated by #Renaissance #Alchemist, #NicolasFlamel and is an allegorical piece illustrating the transformation of #Mercury as a crucified snake

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path and to follow our dreams. I enjoyed listening to the audio. The story had a lot of wisdom and inspiration. Recommended for those who like inspirational books.

ReadZenRites To me, this book is one of the finest examples of how a rich story can be told in concise, spare prose. 😊💕 6y
EadieB @ReadZenRites I saw some reviews saying that it was written for sixth graders. That‘s what I liked about it. Concise and right to the point. Hard to please everyone! 6y

No matter how long or how difficult, we will undo whatever that Moroi boy has done to you."

I managed a wavering smile, tasting blood in my mouth. "You sure about that, Dad? Because he's done everything to me.

Adrian tipped my face up toward his and kissed me. Like always, the world around me stopped moving. No, the world became Adrian, only Adrian.
