wintersolstice

Happy Solstice! Blessed Yule! This day reminds me to take a deep breath, enjoy the light and feel some hope in the chaos around me. I love slipping away from the commercial world to have moments of focus back on nature. I will have wassail and a fire tonight , my family tradition for 9 years- and Brynne is home to make the wassail!!! 🕯️🤍🕯️I hope all of you experience some calm too💙(tagging some who celebrate but wishing for everyone)

Taking this for a spin, thanks to @TheBookHippie

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie this collection is WAY better!!! 7d

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Yes. I like it very much. 🤍❄️ 6d

TheBookHippie It‘s a series I need the rest!! 6d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I saw that. I got Once Upon An Autumn when I got the ebook version. Autumn and Winter are my favourite seasons, so I thought I would start there. I‘ll have to get the paperback of Autumn (along with Spring and Summer) when I get a job. The ebooks aren‘t bad at $4.99 each for the wonderful writing I have experienced so far. 6d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘ve only read the first two stories so far, but they are just far and away better than the last book, and I‘m seeing the allegory in the first story. I did not see that ending coming, that‘s for sure. 6d

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I love this book, however I‘m in the minority 🫠🤣🫣 so welcome to that 🤣🤍❄️🤍 I think there‘s a good mix in this book. 6d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie people don‘t like this book? Seriously? Wow 6d

The Return of the Light: Twelve Tales from Around the World for the Winter Solstice | Carolyn McVickar Edwards

bailed

I‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.
#CarolynMcVickarEdwards #TheReturnOfTheLight #unpopularopinion #DNF #bail #couldntdoit

GingerAntics Of the 12 stories, only 6 can be readily found independent of the book in any form. Of those 6, three are either misnamed or given the wrong location, and a fourth is heavily changed, to the point of being a different story. The final story is part of Epiphany celebrations in Italy and nothing new to Catholic school pupils who had creative religion teachers. 7d

GingerAntics The “solstice” songs at the end are Christmas carols she changed some of the words to. The activities are slightly augmented Christmas traditions from around the world. She has sources, but even those don‘t come up for half the stories, so she‘s either changed them beyond recognition or combined multiple stories. 7d

kspenmoll Great review! 6d

The Return of the Light: Twelve Tales from Around the World for the Winter Solstice | Carolyn McVickar Edwards

Okay, so no part of this paragraph makes any sense. She has velvet in her ears? I tried looking up the original story… IT DOES NOT EXIST! Is she just making this up (poorly) as she goes? That certainly explains a lot.

Dilara 😂 😂 It's got to be some kind of purple prose spoof! 1w

GingerAntics @Dilara that is a perfect description! I haven‘t read a word of this book since then. I‘m thinking it may be time to just cut this one loose. A lot of people love this book; I‘m just not one of them. 1w

Dilara @GingerAntics Yes, some books are just not worth our time 😃 1w
