As a fan of books that empower us to take charge of our bodies and promote healing, diving into "The Kitchen Witch's Guide to Healing and Self-Care" was an enriching experience. Maggie Haseman invites readers into a world where the kitchen becomes a sacred space for nurturing both body and soul.

One of the standout features of this book is its accessibility. Haseman's writing style is welcoming and easy to understand, making complex concepts about holistic healing approachable for readers of all backgrounds. Each chapter is like a journey through the pantry, exploring the healing properties of various herbs, spices, and ingredients commonly found in our kitchens.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Haseman beautifully weaves together practical advice on nutrition and self-care with insights into the importance of mindfulness and intentionality in our daily lives. Through simple rituals and recipes, she demonstrates how we can harness the power of our own intuition and the natural world to promote healing from within.

I appreciated the holistic approach taken in "The Kitchen Witch's Guide." It goes beyond just physical health to address the importance of emotional well-being and spiritual nourishment. Whether you're looking to alleviate specific ailments or simply cultivate a greater sense of balance and vitality, this book offers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical tips to support your journey toward holistic wellness.

Overall, "The Kitchen Witch's Guide to Healing and Self-Care" is a delightful blend of kitchen wisdom, herbal lore, and self-care practices. It's a book that not only teaches us how to nourish our bodies with wholesome foods but also reminds us of the magic that resides within each of us to heal and thrive. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their connection to themselves and the healing power of nature.

Exceptional. A journey from the first roots of wisdom to elaborate art and culture, this book feels like a jolt of hope that would open a whole new door of life for anyone who reads it. And it's mind-blowing for me to think that this was just... A blurb of philosophy. Every human should read to comprehend the big WHY of life. Will definitely go back to this several moments in my life to come.

Much like reading, crocheting has always been a passion of mine. Even though I don't regularly crochet amigurumi, I have made a few things with this technique, and I'm constantly on the lookout for any books that discuss crochet so I can get my hands on them. One such book that I enjoyed reading is Crochet Magical Creatures by Drew Hill.

The book, in my opinion, was unique from the crochet books I've read. Two sections comprise the book: We learn everything we need to know in the first section, which is essential before we begin. The different features, such as the placement of the face, hair, eyes, nose, limbs, and legs, as well as the fundamental stitch that will be used, the materials needed for crocheting, and so forth. 

The second section of this book includes 20 magical creatures and step-by-step directions for creating them.

Also to my liking, the book's opening section introduces us to each creature. The book includes appealing and well-lit photos.

My favourite creatures in the book are: 
- Gala and Iris the cloud sprites
- Gus the Enchanted Mushroom 
- Pippin the Jackalope

I shall definitely make them for my future projects.

Thank to Netgalley, the publisher at Callisto Media and Author Drew Hill for this ARC.

As the name suggest, this is truly a amigurumi book for beginners. The book covers all essential topics from yarn and hook selection to basic stitches used to master the art of Amigurumi. The book also has 20 projects with beautifully written instructions and pictures where ever needed. The author has also given the toys fun and charming names, I did like Sammy the Speedy Turtle. He looks cute and adorable. Can’t wait to try my hands on each one of them.

This book is best suited to someone who has not yet been diagnosed with ADHD and has not yet done much, if any, research on what it looks like in women but is curious about whether they could have it.

It is a very basic introduction to the topic and the information provided never dives much below surface level.

I did not find the workbook sections to be useful, and the sections on strategies are super basic. If you are an adult with ADHD you probably already do most of the things they suggest naturally and they only provide a brief paragraph to introduce each of them before moving on to the next.

Not my favorite resource by far, but I could see myself recommending it to someone who is wondering if it's possible that they could have ADHD but has not yet decided to seek assessment.
