Do you already have a vague idea of what self-care is? If yes, you can skip this book

The Witch's Book of Self-Care by Arin Murphy-Hiscock

July 29, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

BINGO – SELF-CARE Arin Murphy-Hiscock endeavors to instruct in practical self-care through a witch’s lens. She begins with an introduction to what self-care is and isn’t and how the idea of self-care has been co-opted by some many people and industries to make a buck. She then breaks down modes of self-care into Mental and Emotional Self-Care, Physical Self-Care, Spiritual Self-Care, and Household Self-Care.

“I’m not sure what the difference is between sleeping and time travel”

Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson

July 27, 2021 by Malin 3 Comments

4.5 stars CBR13 Bingo: Rep (features honest and sometimes graphic descriptions of life with a variety of mental and chronic illnesses) It’s no secret that Jenny Lawson, known online and to her followers as The Bloggess, suffers from a large number of ailments, both physical and mental. She has dealt with various kinds of chronic illness throughout her life and manages to be mostly very light-hearted and humourous about it. I chose to get this book in audio, because Jenny Lawson narrates her own books, […]

Burnout, or, Why to Stick It to the Man

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia Nagoski

July 26, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

This is my “Self Care” bingo entry.  I just finished reading Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. I’ve read so many self-help/self-empowerment/self-care books, that I feel like Burnout wasn’t necessarily presenting me with information that I didn’t already know, but it was putting together information that I already know in a surprising way.  Burnout is written by two sisters – Emily and Amelia Nagoski – and it is specifically aimed at woman-identified people and the specific stressors we […]

Don’t avoid this book like the plague!

Magical History Tour #5: The Plague by Fabrice Erre

July 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr13bingo New Series (started in 2021) The 5 here is rounded up.  While I love the Magical History Tour series, I am always looking for more, so Magical History Tour #5: The Plague is a 4.5 read. However, ages 7 to 10 are the perfect ages for this book and the text and information is perfect for them making this most likely a 5 for them. Fabrice Erre has once again researched history and this time has come up with the plague. Or more accurately, […]

Gender Pirates: An Assigned Male Comics by Sophie Labelle

The Best of Assigned Male by Sophie Labelle

July 16, 2021 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

cbr13bingo Rep (as Stephie is autistic, plus transgender people telling their own stories in a positive light, and not just about their transitioning or having transitioned, are not seen as much. Stephie is a normal kid getting through school, friendships, babysitting, growing up, dating and more.) If you ever find yourself reading anything by Sophie Labelle’s Assigned Male comics know this: the greatest thing and the worst thing about them is the same thing: They are in your face. They make you uncomfortable. They make […]

Buddhism meets Psychology

The Trauma of Everyday Life by Mark Epstein

July 6, 2021 by Claire Badger Leave a Comment

Maybe the title is contrived, but something about it made me curious when I saw it in the store. After we’ve all lived through a worldwide trauma, there was something appealing about a book that would look at the regular occurrences we all endure and help them make sense. I’ve been reading a lot about psychology, and a lot of modern psychologists are starting to urge people recovering from trauma towards mindfulness and meditation, as studies are now confirm the real and lasting benefits of […]
