I keep my heart safely between the pages of this book…

August 9, 2021 by chelz.hawk 3 Comments

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. She sprinkles spells, rituals, and recipes throughout as well as practical tips on how to incorporate self-care into one’s daily life. […]

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 […]

A pretty quick re-read but there’s no shame in that!

The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery

July 22, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Self Care: a book I’ve wanted to re-read for ages which I finally did–and little did I know that work was about to get rough, so it was well timed 😀 I’d had a pretty chill time of it at work, and thought I’d blow up my sleep schedule by starting and finishing this book in the time zone known as “GO TO SLEEP.” I’ve found myself wanting to re-read a whole subset of books for a while, and I’m thinking about giving myself a […]

Bird by Bird – Anne Lamott (1994)

Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott

July 22, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

CBR13Bingo – Self-Care A collection of essays and memoir pieces connected to writing that shares wisdom and thoughts on both writing and publishing. Mostly this collection is focused on publishing fiction, the slight irony being that I would argue that this book, in solitude, and maybe some of the nonfiction recent pieces, are 100% of how people think of Anne Lamott’s writing in general, and not her fiction. That said, the advice is funny and humane and solid throughout. I wish Anne Lamott would just […]

The Title is (kind of) a Lie

The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should be Easy by Caroline Dooner

June 4, 2019 by sistercoyote 3 Comments

  Two notes: First, I’m not interested in having the “fat = unhealthy” argument in the comments. BTDT. If you’re the type of person “worried” about fat people’s health, I know. Keep it to yourself, kthx. Second, this is apparently the year of reading books that heavily feature “the F-word” and I swear there was a book out there somewhere about that word in particular that I should probably find, buy, and close the year out by reviewing.   (And now, some filler to keep […]
