Welcome to Litsy!

I really wanted to love this. I do love the term hagitude and I am finally embracing my cronehood. But there was too much psychology and not enough mythology for me. And then the author states that there should be gathering places for women who were born as women, basically saying that it's OK to exclude trans folx in certain cases. So yeah, not great. We don't all need the exact same experience to relate.

April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?

📖 Sun Dancing: A Vision of Medieval Ireland by Geoffrey Moorhouse

I read this a long time ago but really loved it. I keep meaning to read more in the series. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who observe it. My husband made this Guinness and Baileys Irish creme frosting cake. (He used Guinness zero in the cake, and Irish cream flavored coffee syrup with Irish butter for the frosting to make it sober friendly.) My tea was Irish Breakfast. Carrigaline pottery.

4 Stars • Tricked is the fourth book in The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. In this novel, Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2,000-year-old Druid, teams up with the Navajo trickster god Coyote to fake his death and avoid the wrath of Norse gods. This leads to confrontations with skinwalkers and other supernatural entities. The book includes themes of cunning, betrayal, and survival, maintaining the series' blend of humor, urban fantasy, and mythology.

It was after the name Conn-eda the province of Connaucht, or Conneda, or Connacht, was so called.

Good morning everyone! #thinkpositive #LoveisResistence

In this week of thrifted finds, I bring this set. This looks like an interesting fusion of sci-fi and fantasy. While I have all three of the trilogy, the last isn't original to the others. I can tell because the page ends have aged differently, and the cover has silver around the artwork. The order of books is The Copper Crown, The Throne of Scone, and The Silver Branch. I've heard on Instagram that these are complex and beautiful.
