part of my currently reading/up next stack ♡

I've been a busy, busy bee 🐝 editing a few books over the past several weeks while I try to balance my "day job," household tasks, taking care of my daughter, etc. But! slowly but surely, the mood reader in me is certainly out in full force as I read bits and pieces (of both physical and digital books, of course—we're chaotic over here!) of so many wonderful stories.

P I C TU R E D:

📚 The Lost Queen by Aimee Phan

📚 His Face is the Sun by Michelle James Corpora

📚 The Peculiar Gift of July by Ashley Ream

📚 Vatican Daughter by Joni Marie Iraci

📚 For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn

📚 Narrow the Road by James Wade

So now, here's my QOTD—

Do you also (sometimes) read several books at a time, or are you a strictly monogamous reader?

... Read moreAs an avid reader, juggling several books at once can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Here’s a closer look at some of the titles featured in my current reading collection: 1. **The Lost Queen by Aimee Phan** - A captivating tale that explores historical complexities with a fresh perspective. 2. **His Face is the Sun by Michelle James Corpora** - A gripping narrative that delves into personal struggles and triumphs. 3. **The Peculiar Gift of July by Ashley Ream** - An enchanting story that promises unique twists and emotional depth. 4. **Vatican Daughter by Joni Marie Iraci** - A fascinating rendition of secrets and intrigue within a remarkable setting. 5. **For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn** - A heartfelt exploration of relationships and choices that resonate deeply. 6. **Narrow the Road by James Wade** - A thought-provoking read that challenges perceptions and invites reflection. Reading habits vary from person to person. Some thrive on the thrill of multiple narratives weaving together, while others prefer to immerse themselves fully in one story at a time. If you find joy in exploring various tales simultaneously or favor the depth of a single book, remember that there’s no right way to read. Each reader's journey is unique and can lead to unexpected discoveries along the way.

Started reading this book on Thursday and so far I’m obsessed it’s an amazing read. I want to get more out of ritual work. I feel like for the most part I’m copying what others do and trying to make it my own. Which feels forced and like I’m not connecting to my craft in the way in which I should.

When I'm lost for words, poetry becomes my voice. It speaks to my soul in ways I can't explain. That's why I love it so much. It's like having a friend who understands everything without me saying a word. Poetry fills the gaps when I can't find the right words, and that's pr
