I can’t lie.
I bought this book for the
title alone….
it just made me happy
in a David Bowie kinda way…
But it was a good read…
biographical fiction that is
based loosely on the life of Talitha Getty
who was beautiful and interesting
and slightly tragic and sad…
It took me a little bit to get into it…
at first, it felt like one of those
”trying too hard” kinda books…
but it grew on me.

NEXT UP:: BOOK OF LONGINGS - SUE MONK KIDD
Oh, how I loved this book.
Once again, I really wasn’t expecting anything.
I don’t even know where I got this one…
and I had just bought like 3 new books
but saw this one sitting on my end table
(where it has sat for about a year
untouched
in full view)
and for some reason,
the blue-green cover suddenly caught my attention.
And it kept my attention.
The writing was beautiful, lyrical, sensory
and full of evocative imagery…
I realized after that this was a Reese book club pick
and then I was like yeah, I can see that.
I always love the books they pick.
Anyway, it was a beautiful read.
I was sad to see it come to an end.

NEXT UP:: SISTER STARDUST - JANE GREEN
I feel like lately the only thing
I get on here to write
are “whatcha readin’” posts
which is good in a way…
it means I have been reading a lot
but I haven’t been saying much more.
There is lots going on for sure
and now that I have figured out
how to write blog posts
OUTSIDE
well…….
you may be hearing a lot more from me
(which may be good
or bad
depending…heehee).
Back to the book.
I picked this up
because of the cover and
the title
and the author’s name
which seemed so perfect
for a book about witches….
Hester Fox.
Like…..yeah. ♥
It was a good book…
It was a nice quick easy read…
the writing felt a little….
young to me,
if that makes sense.
But it was an enjoyable read.

NEXT UP:: THE SCENT KEEPER - ERICA BAUERMEISTER
I love when I accidentally
come across a “Reese’s book club” pick…
this was one.
I really enjoyed reading this.
The writing was pretty, the story line was
interesting and it was a pretty quick read.
I just read that it is now part of a trilogy
and that a movie has been made of it
so I may have to check that out.

NEXT UP:: A LULLABY FOR WITCHES - HESTER FOX
I picked this book up
while I was still in Halifax
but at the tail end of my dad’s stay
in the hospital…
it’s not my usual kinda book purchase
but it ended up being a pretty good choice…
a lot of twists
a lot of turns
a lot of thinking you know
what’s going on
and then a lot of realizing
you don’t actually know
what’s going on….
so…
kinda like life
in a nutshell.
(seriously
every time I write about a book
I have read
I feel like I need the disclaimer
that this is
obviously not a
real book review…
this is just me saying
hey, so I read this book
and then going completely
off topic
with whatever seems
to be currently occupying
the space in my
brain….)
