I have read Amy Jeffs two previous books 'Storyland' and 'Wild' and this one completes the set. Beautifully written and atmospheric book that brings the legends of Britain’s early saints vividly to life and gives the reader a glimpse of the social, cu ...more |

Just not for me, its not my sense of humour. People suggest its like Monty Python-- I think I've seen one Monty Python comedy and hated it. To each their own. To me it reads like a teenager wrote it and I think it would have been better as a screenpla ...more |

I was disappointed by this, this didn't read like an epic, sweeping, fantasy romance. It was a compilation of dull essays written by his son plus some of Tolkien's poetry that gave us a glimpse into a love story he was writing. I would have enjoyed t ...more |

| Dr Kate Lister’s Harlots, Whores & Hackabouts is everything I love about great public history: rigorous, witty, deeply humane, and utterly absorbing. Lister has a rare gift for taking subjects that are often sensationalised or flattened into stereoty ...more | |

| There Are Rivers in the Sky is a luminous, quietly ambitious novel that moves like water itself—sometimes gently, sometimes with emotional force, sometimes with an undercurrent you only notice once you’re already carried along. Elif Shafak weaves tog ...more | |

| As always I love Anais Nin. This is a novella of a complex woman's ardent meandering thoughts. Similar to Duras' writing, Nin's style is diary-like and reads like a fever dream. The prose is so lush and gorgeous I found myself highlighting so many mo ...more | |

I love Marguerite Duras writing style-- meandering, dreamy, diary-like. The story is told by an unamed French narrator of her youth living in Vietnam, of her struggles with her mother's depression and her brother's aggression, of her loneliness in a w ...more |

Its Valentine's month...What can I say? I actually really enjoyed this novella. The erotic scenes were good, I'd have preferred at least one scene to be a bit more romantic for it to feel authentic as their 'relationship' blossoms from purely physical ...more |

“I call on your many names!
Inanna!
Asherah!
Ishtar!
Astarte!
Isis!
Aphrodite!
Great lady of the stars, sea and soil!!
From the Kopet Mountains to the Caspian Sea,
From my heart to the vault of the skies,
I am devoted to you in all languages and in all hearts,
And in all your names.
in all the rain soaked earth and in all the stars.
Asherah I cherish you,
My unbridled Queen of queens,
I bow to you,
I am bound to you,
Oh Sacred heart,
Great goddess of love and hate,
Of life and death, of passion and peace,
Of all the holy contradictions,
maiden of the ascension and descension,
of the looping serpent’s Ouroboros,
Guide me through my darkness,
So I may see the light.
So that I may rise from the fall,
With the wings of the dawn,
of your everlasting Arammu
Of your all-embracing Ahavah!
Excerpt from “Asherah: High Queen of Queens” - Featured in Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree.”

“And so my advice to you is this:
Explore the wilderness in your heart.
Love vastly.
Daydream constantly.
Make love genuinely.
Dance regularly.
Breathe deeply.
Be nonsensical.
Unravel your shining soul.
And enjoy every moment.”
