This was recommended on the Fortelabs blog and I am finding it really interesting. The authors are occasionally a bit derogatory for my taste. And their viewpoint doesn't really take into account the whole picture. Despite that, I am enjoying the exa...

Another recommendation from the Fortelabs blog. Not gonna lie, it was 85p on kindle and so I would have bought it anyway. I have yet to start this one- it is next in the To Read pile. Bought for the story telling aspect which is something I am thinki...

Now that we are past the Summer Solstice almanacs are cheaper ha. All joking aside, I became interested in the almanac when caring for my day. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world. I started thinking about days in terms of how muc...

I'll be waiting for this one for a while- priced out at 9.49 for the kindle book. Oy with the poodles. It does sound like it will be a valuable addition to my arsenal as I try to work my way to a better state of mind.
