Hey everyone it has been a few weeks since my last update. It has been extremely crazy between working, taking care of my house, family, and just trying to navigate this thing that we do while on this planet. I have been able to squeeze in some book time which also equals therapy time for me as well. And we all know that everyone needs therapy time. I thought it would be fun to revisit some of my favorite reads that may not be so well known but holds a special place in my heart.
Faery Tale by Signe Pike. This is a memoir and before you say anything this doesn't read like your typical memoir but a beautiful and at times sad adventure that Signe goes on to face her personal demons. The cover work on my copy is beautiful and I believe it is what caught my attention. The story is a course centered around Signe who at the time lives in New York City with her cat and fiancee. While in New York City she is working as an editor for Penguin. Her father recently has passed away and she begins to think about her life growing up with him and her childhood. She decides to quit her job and goes on an adventure to rediscover moments that she had with her father while also searching for myths and legends about the fae folk. She travels to Mexico, Ireland, England, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Now, who has not dreamt of quitting their day jobs and traveling? I know personally, I have this dream several times a day because I personally have dreamt for so long that now I do not know if it ever will become reality. I highly would recommend this book to anyone that needs a little magic in their life. Please ignore the readers on GoodReads that have left negative comments because they did not understand the meaning of chasing your dreams and revisiting your childhood, especially after the loss of a parent. This book has been one of my favorites and I pick it up every time that I need to deal with some of my inner demons. Read this with an open mind to discovering one's self sprinkle with a little bit of fairy dust. Plus I have always wished and believed that the Fae Folk were real.
Just because here is a photo of my sweet Gizmo.
Happy reading,
