pickThis remarkable, engrossing history of witchcraft and black magic extends from 1800 to 2015. Waters looks at the influence of imperialism and colonial cultures on England against the rise and fall of black arts. It's thoroughly researched and well written throughout.
Highly recommended.
I'm in dire need of some serious distraction from shingles pain.

Those is my happy palce this week. This is the book I read before I go to sleep at night. I‘m also reading “Outside Looking In” by T.C. Boyle and “The Dissident” - a book about Alexey Navalny. Neither one of them makes me smile, but I keep sighing and thinking what a broken world we live in. 😳😢But before lights out I learn about sheep with underbotes, and unruly Shetland ponies….

so-soJane Austen wrote & published most of her works during the Regency Period (1811-1820) & this book gives us a snapshot of the type of food that those who were quite well off would have been eating in this period. With recipes taken from the time, alongside quotations & short sections on different aspects of Georgian dining, this is a pleasant accompaniment to Austen's novels.
pickSally Urwin is a 4‘ 10” former corporate marketer who became a farmer‘s wife when she married Steve a sheep farmer based in Northumberland) and started writing a blog recounting her experiences. This entertaining book that reinforces how difficult farming is both physically and emotionally (made worse by the perilous economics within the industry) is based on some of Urwin‘s blog entries and tracks a year of living on the farm.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
