What are you currently reading?
Roy & Lesley Adkins and Victoria Leitch - The Handbook of British Archaeology I only started this one this evening, I'm on page 23 and have read the section on The Palaeolithic Period. It's definitely reminding my why I love the subject, and I remember how useful it was being in sections by time period - made it useful on the go, as well as a reference book.
DK Publishing - Feminism Is... I've been trying to use my local library more, and for reading books that I wouldn't usually read. This is one I picked up using the Libby app. I am loving the straight-forward approach the book has to the topic
Alix E Harrow - The Ten Thousand Doors Of January This is just as beautifully written as The Once and Future Witches, I really feel transported to the magical places the book is taking me
I am typically reading three books at a time - one fiction, one non-fiction, and then a library book that I've picked specifically because I'm trying something new.
What did you recently finish reading?
Alix E Harrow - The Once And Future Witches I completely fell in love with this book within pages. Harrow's writing style is - as mentioned above - just breathtakingly beautiful. It's exquisite and I cannot recommend it enough. Feminism, witchcraft, equality, the symbolism from so many paths and a story I feel everyone can connect with. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me do both at the same time, it made me fall in love over and over and it gave me goosebumps!
Frederick Joseph - The Black Friend: On Being A Better White Person This was exactly as eye-opening and challenging as I expected it to be. I am a decidedly middle-class white cis-gendered woman - it's made me aware of some unconscious biases I have, and made me examine some of the language and assumptions I use/make about people. It did exactly what it was supposed to be have done and made me uncomfortable in the process. It was not an easy read but it was incredibly educational.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The book at the top of each of my three piles are
Christopher Catling - A Practical Handbook of Archaeology
T.J. Klune - The House in the Cerulean Sea
Raynor Winn - The Salt Path
