#creepy #booktoscreen

This was interesting, but I wouldn't say I loved it. The writing was nothing special, the characters were not easy to connect with, yet the premise is super intriguing. I had to find out what was behind all this, and I had to find out the ending to the protagonist's story even though I didn't find it very enjoyable. I am looking forward to the movie adaptation though.

I‘ve been reading a lot of #nonfiction recently. This is one of the better of the many crystal books I‘ve checked out lately. The Chevron Amethyst at the top of the page was one of my lovely gifts from the #witchpleaseswap

 @sprainedbrain By the way, I love the #crystals you chose for me, and I‘ve been using the pendulum daily. It‘s perfect!

I love this book. I‘m only on chapter six, and I already want to savor every page.

Life has been super busy so I haven‘t been around as much 😕 but I am reading the tagged book right now and loving it! Very good so far.

#TheCupIsFantastic #witchpleaseswap

Thank you so much @sprainedbrain 😘 I love everything so much! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I love the herbs, and the crystals and the tarot deck. I connected with the amethyst pendulum immediately. And the books 😍😍😍 I cant wait to dive in, especially tagged book. The datebook is super cool! It‘s right up my alley. I love it all. 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤 Thank you!

I‘m so excited my #witchpleaseswap package arrived yesterday! @sprainedbrain I can‘t wait till opening day! 🧡 🖤🧡🖤

#philosophy #enlightenment

This is the most accurate description of enlightenment I've read so far. I really love the way he articulates the awakening process. Anyone who has tried to express in words what the awakening process is like, knows how difficult this can be. This is, by far the most accessible book I've read regarding this topic. I recommend reading this in tandem with periods of reflection and meditation instead of all in one shot.

I just finished this and I am so in love with this world right now. ♥️🖤♥️🖤♥️ I wanted this book to last forever. I loved everything about it, beautifully written.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first. It's a bit confusing in the beginning, but the premise is incredibly intriguing. At a certain point I couldn't put it down though, because I wanted answers.

I didn't find it crazy scary or anything, but I did find it thought-provoking and entertaining along with a creepy atmosphere. I liked the ending a lot, especially knowing the original was different.

#horror #Halloween

Anyone watching this? It‘s totally not like the book, but I love it! We‘ve been binge watching with two more episodes to go. The bent-neck lady is creepy! Perfect for the season.

#bannedbooks

Just finished this short story. I see why it has left such an impact.

I got it all packed up! I‘ll be mailing it out tomorrow.

#tarottakeover #WheelOfFortune

My pick is one of my favorite books. Many tarot elements to be found in this book, the wheel of fortune being one of them. This book explores how much of our destiny is decided by the patterns and cycles passed down to us by our family, and is it possible to break destructive cycles or are we bound to repeat them?

#currentlyreading
I just started this one today. I think I like it so far. I‘m not totally sure. 🤔

#unpopularopinion #graphicnovel

Meh, just ok. I feel like I should like it, but I didn‘t. I never cared about the protagonist, even though I should sympathize with her. The dynamics between characters were shallow and hard for me to believe. I might have liked it when I was younger though.

I liked this more than I expected. When I was younger I was an extreme introvert, so it was very relatable. Funny and quirky. I‘ll be reading more of this author.

#TarotTakeover #TheEmpress

When I saw today‘s card I immediately thought of tagged book. At first glance this seems like the antithesis to The Empress card, and it is. This gives an example of a society who has gone to extremes to repress and oppress the essence of The Empress. This is what a society might look like if The Empress was completely absent.

This card is from one of my favorite decks - The Paulina Tarot.

#ya #favorite

I loved it. Rainbow Rowell is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. The interactions between Eleanor and Park seem completely genuine. I love all the feels I get from reading their story.

The other part of the book was hard to read. Eleanor's home life is rough, and reading about it was painful at times, but good nonetheless.

I can see how the ending would seem unsatisfying to some. I personally liked it as it was written.

#octoberphotochallenge

This is yesterday‘s challenge for #tarottakeover -The Sun card. Vitality, Enlightenment, Invigoration. This book represents The #suncard to me very well. When I think of awakening, I think of the sun waking up. Plus, the cover is orange and yellow!

#philosophy #truth

This is a collection of truth related talks he gave over the years. He asks us to question for ourselves the ideas he brings forth. Ideas relating to truth, what it is, and how do we see it? Is truth static or changing? Can we observe it without judging, acting or reacting?

I also appreciate his take on gurus,teachers and religion much more than Osho or Ram Dass. I'll be checking out some of his other books in the future.

Interesting spin on the Jesus/Judas story. I enjoyed it!

A wrapped a few things for the #witchpleaseswap this morning. I‘m waiting on some more things to arrive in the mail, but other than that, I think I‘m almost done. This has been so much fun! @monalyisha

#science #faith

I know the placebo effect is legit, but wow!

#philosophy #classics

I see why it‘s a classic. A simple, yet thought-provoking and emotional read. So much meaning packed in a small book. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 💜

Thank you again @wanderinglynn for send me this lovely book!

This was a cute, engaging, super-fast read. It takes me back to my naively innocent youth. Lara Jean has no idea what she really wants, is afraid of commitment, and she definitely sends a clear goody-two-shoes vibe. Some readers may find this annoying, but I found it relatable because even though I am no longer that girl, I used to be that girl.

#ya #currentlyreading

So sweet. Brings back memories.

#witchpleaseswap

Only one away from blackout!

I‘m almost done shopping because if I don‘t stop soon I won‘t be able to fit everything! I‘m waiting on a few things I ordered, and unless I see anything else I can‘t pass up ( which is entirely possible) I am done. I‘m just having so much fun shopping for this swap. I still might make something too, but I‘m not sure what yet.

This book was an enchanting portal to another world. I really loved this one. A lot.

A fairy tale with a remarkably magical atmosphere, one I want to revist. It had a fantastic storyline with the perfect amount of creepiness woven in. The heroine of the story was amazing; I really loved her.

This has been one of my favorite reads this year and I can't wait to read the next one

#ya #blameitonlitsy

I just started this one this morning. 💜

#philosophy #classics

My first time reading Plato. I really like it so far. At over 800 pages, I won‘t be finishing anytime soon.

I took a break from shopping for the #witchpleaseswap to read some more of this magical book. 😁

I really love everything about it 😍 The atmosphere is magical and creepy. The storyline is intriguing, and I love the main character. I‘m not yet finished and I‘m already excited to read the next two.

#ya

I just finished a #reread of this wonderful book! It wasn‘t as life altering the second time around, obviously, but still such a great read. I relate to Stargirl on so many levels. I 💙 her!

Thank you so much @wanderinglynn 😘😘😘

I came home from work and found this package waiting for me. This totally made my day! You are so thoughtful! I am excited to read all three of these books. I love the bookmarks. I love the card. I feel special. 😊 Thank you! 💜

#witchpleaseswap

I‘m pretty sure I chose “I‘ll go a little overboard” when I filled out my #witchplease swap form... I think I might be crossing over into “100 percent overboard” territory at this point. I haven‘t had this much fun shopping for someone else in a long time.

#currentlyreading #blameitonlitsy

I‘m halfway through and completely entranced. 💜

I didn‘t love this one like I loved Everything I Never Told You, but I still liked it a lot.

The two mother‘s are presented as being on each end of the spectrum. Interestingly enough I identified with both. Early in my motherhood I was much like Elena, then my life came to a crossroads and I became much like Mia. (Continues in comments)

#philosophy #truth

I‘ve been interested in Krishnamurti for a while now, ever since I read about his history with The Theosophical Society. I finally started reading one of his books this summer and I‘m finding myself resonating with huge portions of it. I‘m also seeing why he and Osho didn‘t see eye to eye.

#philosophy #truth

#graphicnovel

I loved it! It was really funny, and had some great themes, like acceptance of oneself. I will definitely be reading the author‘s other books.

I started this one yesterday. This is the first book I‘ve read by this author. I wasn‘t sure at first, but now I‘m really starting to like it.

#blameitonlitsy #favorite #witchybooks

Circe is my new favorite literary witch. I adore this book. It was such a pleasure to read; I would read anything by this author now. It also piqued my interest in Greek mythology again. I would have never chosen this book if it wasn‘t for all the rave reviews here on Litsy. Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜

#graphicnovel #memoir

It was okay. I'm not sure if it was a case of high expectations, or what. I liked the ideas it was bringing out, but I found it slow and not very engaging. I almost bailed a couple times. The beginning and the end were good, the middle just dragged for me.

I had an excellent reading month: I finished quite a few books and a lot of them were excellent. Only 2 DNFs, which is low for me. My favorites this month were tagged book, Circe and The Hazel Wood.
