It’s been a long time since my last bookstand post (which you can read here) so I decided it might be best to start over. Plus, who knows what I might buy while attending the event I will be at later today! As an update to Post #16, I finished Promposal, and wrote a post about celebrating the author’s debut with her which you can check out here. I also finished Belladonna by Adalyn Grace which I really liked. It had a dark and gothic witchy vibe, which was fun to read and loved how it ended. Medusa was a good read and the art was stunning. More YA than I like to read, but the way it looks on my bookshelf almost makes up for it. I also managed to fit in Fairy Tale by Stephen King which was a solid story, but not one of my favorite books by him. I felt it could have been a little shorter and still read pretty much the same.
I have a lot of non-fiction on my TBR right now, mostly to help me figure out what to lean into as far as my strengths. Have been reading a lot of The Dear Writer series by Becca Syme, as well as some books that came recommended by her Write Better Faster Course. I am also diving back into Zoe York’s Romance Your… series.
“The Oddessy” by Homer/Translated by Emily Wilson is still on my list, but I am setting aside my mythology reads for things a bit more Witchy. Most of the books I have on my TBR are for research and are hard to choke down. I am currently reading a number of them simultaneously since I am a complete mood reader and mostly just need to flip through them until I find the answers I need:
- Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials by Marion Gibson
- Witchcraft Medicine: Healing Arts, Shamanic Practices, and Forbidden Plants by Claudia Müller-Ebeling, Christian Rätsch, and Wolf-Dieter Storl
- Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods by Jason Mankey and Astrea Taylor
- The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers
- The Essential Oils Handbook by Jennie Harding
- The Witch’s Book of Shadows by Jason Mankey
On the fiction end of things I just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah on audio… which if you haven’t read I highly recommend! Heart-wrenching and eye-opening in the best of ways. I also have a ton of books I added to my digital TBR which I don’t even want to think about tackling, but here are a few worth mentioning:
- How To Fake It With A Fae by Amy Boyles
- Soul Of The Witch by Deanna Chase
- The Trouble With Witches by Kristen Painter
- Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins
- Before He Kills by Blake Pierce
What books do you have on your TBR pile right now? I would love to know! Especially if you have just read something that knocked your socks off! I am especially looking for suggestions on anything Witchy, Witchcraft, and of course, Mythology! Bonus points if it is a story about Aphrodite!

In the meantime, happy reading and all my love and wishes that you stay happy and healthy! XO
