Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May...
15 Feb, 2024
An enlightening read throughout.
I bought Katherine May's 'Wintering' some months ago; it was recommended by Miranda Mills on YouTube. I have had mental health issues (depression, anxiety and stress) for many, many years and when Miranda reviewed 'Wintering' I immediately ordered it online. I was very pleased with this wonderful book and I felt, as I read my way through from cover to cover, that I could identify the symptoms that Katherine described. Sometimes you can feel very alone with your thoughts,but Katherine's words were heart-warming and reassuring. I was sorry when I came to last page and read the last sentence, the last word and saw the full-stop; end of book. ''Wintering' relates to parallels you can identify in the world around you. There are no mystiques or complex medical terminology. It is written from the heart in good old fashioned plain words that mean something and are tangible. I have been receiving counselling for my mental health and I'm drawing nearer the final two sessions. My wife read 'Wintering' after me and she suggested that we give my counsellor a copy at my last session; the book I purchased from eBay is here in the livingroom, along with a second copy, also from eBay, I've bought for a friend.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 2)
28 Oct, 2023
A delightful read and one to frequently revisit.
I read 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' many, many years ago, but through time the book disappeared. I'm now 70 years old and I've started revisiting the books I read in younger years. This edition of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' from 'The Chronicles of Narnia' is lovely and is a great read at the end of the day. It is as good a read as I remember and the addition of art work is a nice touch. The book has the feel of a quality product and is comfortable to hold while settled down in a cosy position. Not too large and not too small. Looking forward to reading the next Chronicles of Narnia novel in the series.
