_Poems of Paul Celan_ translated by Michael Hamburger
_Poems of Paul Celan_ translated by Michael Hamburger Somewhere I found this title on a list of books that one should read and so I put it on my Amazon wishlist of paper books to remember for later. My mother likes to give physical presents rather than ecards or vouchers so one Christmas a couple…

_H.R.H._ by Danielle Steel
_H.R.H._ by Danielle Steel Well, it has been years since I last read a Danielle Steel novel. She had been my writing hero for many years. In fact, I emailed her once to get advice on how to write as prolifically and successfully as she. Although she did respond, I was a bit disappointed and…

_Station Eleven_ by Emily St. John Mandel
__Station Eleven_ by Emily St. John Mandel This book hit the popularity scale a couple of years ago, but I have been a bit slow with reading what is popular. Mostly I have been reading from the AWN Book Club list, but as I was away on holiday, I thought that I would expand. 😛…

_The Power of Habit_ by Charles Duhigg
_The Power of Habit_ by Charles Duhigg I believe I started this book some time ago and then got distracted from it due to Book Club, life etc. My completion rate of books seems fairly dependent on either my holidays or time on the treadmill. 🤣 Since I have had no holidays for over a…

_Mornings in Jenin_ by Susan Abulhawa This month’s Book Club reading was this one, which I had never heard of nor of the author. Seriously, there are so many stories to be heard and read! 😅 Having just finished this book a few moments ago, I am still processing the whole story and trying to…

_The Bamboo Stalk_ by Saud Al Sanousi
_The Bamboo Stalk_ by Saud Al Sanousi The October Book Club for AWN is this book. We meet next week to talk about it, but I thought I would go ahead and write about it here now that it is fresh in my mind. Unlike last month’s title, this one was so easy to…

_King Leopold’s Ghost_ by Adam Hochschild
_King Leopold’s Ghost_ by Adam Hochschild Last month I joined the Book Club of the AWN (American Women’s Network) where I have been spending a lot of my time being active in meeting people and other things. While I never in my life expected that I would become a “book club lady”, I did…

_Yoga Therapy: A Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Yoga and Ayurveda for Health and Fitness_ by A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan This text that was required for my yoga teacher training course was one of my favorites. It is easy to read for explanations on yoga as therapy looking at the whole person rather…

_The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity_ by Julia Cameron
_The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity_ by Julia Cameron I started this book quite some time ago in hopes of getting myself back into writing regularly. It took me some time to get through it as I wanted to be sure that I was ready to make what Cameron said work for…
