The OG book that illustrates the #spiritualjourney and creates space for #personaltransformation / self-reflection all while it takes you through the main characters‘ #adventure 🙂‍↕️ Amazing read!
A book I will come back to again and again as it will forever live in my personal collection!! What is #alchemy if not a way of life? 👁️🧠🧿

I decided to give this a try after seeing good reviews and while I enjoyed it, I didn‘t love it. I found the early part of the story engaging, but starting around the middle of the book, my interest started to flag a bit, as there a sections that I felt dragged. A low pick for me.

It's a f%£#@ teardrop, asshole! A m@#£f!@#£% tear from your cousin who's dead and you living it up in Barcelona knocking back a vermouth with olives! So the least you can do now is help me, or are you going to back out now?, have some respect for the dead, asshole, you owe me that, don't think just because I'm dead I'm not gonna find out, I can assure you I'll find out, little cuz, even if I'm a f@#£% ghost.

Another book that was just okay for me. I liked the beginning a lot more!

I really enjoyed Six of Crows but was less a fan of Ninth House so I'd been undecided on picking this one up before getting it on my #AuldLangSpine list from @Laughterhp . It took me a moment to get into it but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting of the Spanish Inquisition was great for a historical fantasy book, and I really loved the character of Santangel. @monalyisha

monalyisha That does sound like a time period rife for a fantasy novel! 1mo

A novella about a woman who goes along with her partner‘s desire to have a child even though she doesn‘t want to be a mother. Her intentions are good but of course everything changes in their lives. Powerful emotions run throughout these pages, from isolation to desire and back again. An undeniably strong story that I liked but didn‘t quite love.

sarahbarnes Great review. I felt the same way. 1mo
Suet624 It appears that I read this book but I can‘t remember any of it. 😳🥴 1mo
Jas16 @Suet624 That happens to me more times than I care to admit. 1mo
