Welcome, autumn

It's raining properly for the first time in months.

When I got up, there was a chill in the air, but the sun didn't come to burn it and chase it away.
Instead, the clouds rolled in and started to let droplets loose.
Said rain droplets are making a comforting sound as the wind lashes them against my window, a sound that I have missed dearly these summer months.

I have just finished a mug of tea, and am trying to talk myself into getting up for another.
I have some samples of loose leaf tea that I am currently really enjoying, and a very cozy mug.

I have some fairy lights going in some fall themed candle holders, and I've got the "Your Favorite Coffeehouse" playlist playing on spotify.

I have my very large, very pretentious tome of Irish Fairy and Folk tales here by my side, and Goodreads tells me that I'm roughly 70% through.

I've done some writing, some editing, and some general musings.

I'm huddled up in my cozy hoodie dress and leggings, and the world's softest comforter.

And I just have one thing to say:

~Welcome, autumn~

A Treasury Of Irish Fairy and Folk Tales Review

Image
This is my very large and very beautiful volume of Irish Fairy and Folk Tales. It's seven hundred pages, with embossed, intricate Celtic designs, gold edged pages, and the size of an old church bible. I purchased it shortly after Christmas last year, and have been chipping away at reading it for the last five months (according to my Goodreads activity). I got it because I love me some Irish folklore; I find it fascinating. You can't go wrong with folk tales that tell the legends of a giant named 'Finn MacCool'. There's a fantastical 'magic-is-always-around-the-corner' feel that permeates these tales, and they have a very 'telling stories passed down from generations past around the family hearth' vibe. I find short story compilations slightly discombobulating. I have no problem with a 700 page book when it's all one linear plot, but to have roughly 70 10(ish) page stories makes it hard to stay focused, because you're always

2017 Wrap Up: Non-fiction & Series

Image
I'm combining these into one blog post, because it's already February {Edit: Now it's March? when did this happen?}  and I think that these 2017 year-in-review posts are dragging on. So here's a quick wrap up of my favourite nonfiction and series from 2017. If I was a put together person I would have finished these way back in January, but clearly I'm not on it, so here we are. In March. Still reviewing 2017 books. But in my defense I found out that I've apparently been battling the flu for a month or so. So motivation for blogging and life in general has been at 0%. So here's a quick last 2017 Wrap Up post, and then we're back to our normal schedule (of sporadic posts/no posts at all. Depending on how fast I can kick the last vestiges of the flu out of my system). First up is my favourite non-fiction reads of the year: Nonfiction: Sacred Mundane by Kari Patterson This book is a celebration of the mundane. Sometimes, when
