I'm glad you enjoyed Murder by the Book - that one sounds the most fascinating!

It's always so disappointing when a book spoils another book. 🙁 Hopefully your December books will be much better! I cannot stand to be super busy for too long...I need some calm and downtime. I hope life slows down for you soon.

Hi Heather, Am building my nonfiction collection. Will look up The Secret Rooms. I'm with you on technical self care books. I've never had enough mental band with for them. One tool I use are oracle decks. I have four. of them and pull one card a day. They've really provided a sense of balance and focus for my anxiety brain. Since we love all things Arthurian I'd recommend the Avalon Magic Cards. I actually just pulled the Holy Grail card this morning. For NFN I read Under the Tuscan Sun.

Interesting! I've always been interested by tarot cards, but they and horoscopes tend to stimulate my overthinking rather than calm it. Prayer, stretching, and distraction seem to help best.

@@freshparchment Oracle is actually a different system to Tarot. The decks are smaller and the intention of each deck is what the user makes it. I use them as daily meditation. Being vision impaired I can't really relate to art. My decks have themes I'm familar with farries. the moon, King Arthur and unicorns. Since these are fantastical the ideas don't conflict with my Christian journey.

Sorry you didn't get a thrill for your NFN, especially the anticlimactic "Secret Rooms" which you were looking forward to. I didn't get my best experience either--I have been reading "An Immense World", which is popular right now, but so much technical science is included, it's taking a lot of "bandwidth" for me.

A reason why I want to celebrate nonfiction more, but for a lot of the year my brain cannot handle all its technicalities, and I feel badly for it.
