Sunflowers in February-Phyllida Shrimpton

Image by Noluthando Good Day Bibliophiles! Its been while, but I can explain . . . I just could not find a perfect book for while. Ive read a few, but couldn't really finish them and it didn't feel fair to blog about something I hadn't finished. Worry not I have just finished a brilliant book! Sunflowers in February by Phyllida Shrimpton is just the right amount of everything that I have been looking for in a book in the past month. It is made of just the right amount of tragedy, a sprinkle of love and a good amount of adventure.  The blurb reads: Lily wakes up one crisp Sunday morning on the side of the road . She has no idea how she got there.  It is only when the police car arrives,  and she sees her own body, that she realises that she is in fact... dead. But nobody can see or hear her, however hard she tries. So what is she supposed to do next? Then Lily is given a once-in-a-deathtime opportunity. Will she take it? Okays so . . . ...

The Invitation-Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Good Day Bibliophiles! For as long as I can remember I have always been a little interested in the idea if meditating. The idea that I had the capability to really silence my mind for a few minutes, completely silence the hustle and bustle of life, background noise and everything in between.  I am happy to say that Oriah Mountain Dreamer has made this even the tiniest bit possible for me. A few months ago, when I was on my mission to silence my mind for a bit and truly relax even for a little bit, I searched and searched for the right way to do this. I searched on Youtube, asked around and finally took a look around to see if I could find any books. It took a while, it was difficulty to find a book that I could truly understand on this topic. Thankfully I came across a quote by this author in one of Oprah's books, I cant for the life of me remember which book , or what this particular quote was. . . clearly I am getting old 😉?.   Anyway I did some research ...

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.  Absolutely loving this book!!! Review soon to follow 🎕🎕🎕

A Quiet kind of Thunder-Sara Barnard

image by Noluthando Dube Why hello there Bibliophiles,  I have never really understood when people would tell me that they just couldn't find the time to finish a book in a month; I have to admit that I kind of understand this now. The December period made finishing just this book hard enough, but fear not I have finally finished reading A Quiet Kind of Thunder By Sara Barnard.  First things first, I am sure that you are wondering why I picked this book? Or as I usually say how did this particular book pick me? Well here's a free piece of information about me that I don't mind sharing with you. I have always wanted to learn sign language since before I could remember if I am being quite honest. As soon as I landed my first retail job, it became more apparent;  I crossed paths with many deaf customers, and the need to learn became even greater. However my subjects clashed in University and I was never able to learn. Fear not there is still time.  Anyw...

Happy New Year Bibliophiles
