What the Kitchen Witches read in March...
The Sidhe - Wisdom from the Celtic Otherworld by John Matthews
From EarthStar
Is quite
simply a brilliant book, I have read it twice, once in 2012 when I bought it
and again quite recently.
Essentially,
he writes it as a story, but it contains channelled messages from the Sidhe or
shinning ones.
Sidhe
pronounced Shee are he say's living within our world and a far advanced race of
beings now coming forward to bring messages to help us help our world.
The story
based in Ireland is about a friend of his who is an archaeologist that
discovers very interesting finds in burial mounds, the story is true but
written as fiction to preserve the secrecy of the place in Ireland and calls on
John Matthews to come and give his opinion on what he has found there.
I couldn't
put the book down, it changed me significantly forever.
The Silent
Companions - Laura Purcell
From Natsu No Kuma
This is a
gothic creepy as story which has left me with so many questions. It shifts
between two time periods and three settings and revolves around these wooden
'companions' that keep appearing in the protagonist’s home.
I highly
recommend this book and I have a feeling it will be one of my top ten reads of
2018.
All Souls Trilogy - A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness
This book
came to me highly recommend and I dived in trusting the information without
having read the synopsis.
Well I was
met with a shock. Not only did I find it hard to get into it took me a good
month to read. The characters although I did eventually warm to them came
across as bland at first and the plot seemed very similar to Twilight. However,
according to my Fitbit I have had 2 hours 50 minutes of sleep and that is because
the final few chapters brought me in and I had to keep reading. It was a shame
to finish the book, but I am relieved that I came to this series late as all
three books are available. So now I am speed reading The Hazel Wood, so I can
pick up the second instalment.
La Belle Sauvage - The Book of Dust Volume One - Philip Pullman
From Sunchylde
I read and
enjoyed "His Dark Materials" trilogy many years ago, so I was excited
to read another instalment from the world of Lyra. Philip Pullman didn't
disappoint with his great story telling. The story was captivating, and I love
the character of Malcolm. The second half of the book was filled with tension
and had me on the edge of my seat for most of it. Really looking forward to
book 2
Voyager - Diana Gabaldon
I've become
completely obsessed with everything Outlander and spent last month reading
Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
I don't want
to give away any spoilers, but the story picks up with Claire back in her own
time having left Jamie at the beginning of the Battle of Culloden. Is this the
end of the romance across the distance of time? You'll have to read to find out...
