Found this one for my #ThematicCozies theme (festival) since it was in the title! I couldn't find a “first book in the series one“ so -- fingers crossed this one is good despite it being Book 8 of 10. I mean, they would have to have all the characters fleshed out, right? Anyway, another plus was a paranormal twist :)

@JulieClair

julieclair The cover image is intriguing… a mermaid in the desert? 11h
ElizaMarie @julieclair I started it. There is a whole cast of supernatural characters, so far- a siren, gargoyle, chupacabra, witch, and vampire. 10h

Cults scare me so, so much! This book was so sad, the stuff she went through - I am so terrified of being caught up in something similar (but I don't have the $ for them to really want me).

It was cute. I really like the Hades/Persephone story. I tried really hard not to compare it to Lore Olympus (I wouldn't have liked it as much). But I enjoyed it for what it was. And the artwork was beautiful!

Also, people frequently get my name wrong, so this hit home.

I‘m listening to this one - and although I‘m enjoying it and believe the info id important it just feels like a lot. The world feels scary and ugly and listening to about how women have been marginalized for years just — I don‘t know if I can consume all this at this time — not sure if I am gonna DNF yet —

So this one was “okay” just really was a #NotForMe type of book, maybe if I did audio I might have liked the accents or get more of the drama - or I don‘t know, I did like the MC eventually standing up for herself but felt like it took too long for it. Looking forward to the #RiseUpReads discussion

This was a decent book, but --- It was a #NotForMe type of book. I can see why people loved it, but I found it pretty predictable and sappy, which - I guess it's the type of book it was supposed to be. Oh well.

I really enjoyed this #DayOfTheDead #ThematicCozies book. I am hoping to find the next one on Libby :) --- Growing up, my family celebrates the Day of the Dead. My husband and I have tried to keep this tradition in VT with a little offering we keep in our home, but I really need to find a better area to put it in our home, so I can tend to it properly.

Pic is from a Doggie Church in VT that reminded me of home.

julieclair I have never heard of a doggie church! 🐶🩵 I love how you are keeping up your family traditions in a totally different location. 🫶💝 3w

I am not in menopause yet. But I am getting nervous about it being around the corner. As a true book nerd, I am going to be researching the hell out of it! Anyway, this book was written in such a lovely way. I love the “down-to-earth “nature of this book, which allowed me to really feel less scared. #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

ElizaMarie @dabbe Thanks! I am worried thats gonna happen while I am with a difficult patient (knowing my luck). But thank you for being open/honest with me about your experience. I was thinking of coming up with a perimenopause group or something. Like a little support group - maybe in the same of Self Care Type of group. 1mo
ElizaMarie @MemoirsForMe YES thats why I am trying to get more info - so I won't be lost! 1mo
dabbe @ElizaMarie That's a fabulous idea! I only remember one specific time when I had one during class; I just stepped out in the hall until it passed. You might not be able to do something like that. Most only last a few minutes, and most of mine occurred when I was sleeping in bed for some reason. 1mo
TEArificbooks I have good days and bad days with it. There are way more symptoms than you realize. I completely understand “Karen‘s” now. Kinda like a period, as time goes on the symptoms start light and then increase then decrease. But each stage can take years. I just picked up Naomi Watts book about it. 1mo

Need to take better care of myself, my mental and physical health. I have been on the way side with taking my medications daily, exercising, and maintaining hydration. Stuff like that. I need to get into gear and create good habits, to carry me into the next phase of life - not here yet but - soon

Today:
💚 I did some yoga - need more movement and stretching in life
💚 I am going to f/u with my Drs
💚 Already filled water bottle !!!

Read4life You‘ve got this! I find making myself start is harder than actually doing the things I know are good for me. 2mo

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpinView (thanks for the tag)

1. I tend to drop books on my face, so I kinda have to read sitting up.
2. I love how honest this book is. The amount of information and normalization of what is happening to our bodies is something I really needed. So a #PerfectTiming type of book (not in menopause yet, but premenopausal).

Come play: @Aroyse @ElaineReadsNRambles @Morr_Books
