Madwitch Booknook series: Wilde Grove by Katherine Genet

[@houseofhag]

Loving Booknook G! I adore Emma Restall-Orr. I've met her a couple of times (over 20 plus years ago now!) and I remember them clear as day - what a magnetic being!

Just ordered those books - thanks for sharing. They sound like just what I'm looking for. Now that gardening time is over I love to curl up with a good book. Hair cut? Looks beautiful.

This was lovely, thank you! I thoroughly appreciate you sharing what YOU felt while reading the Wilde Grove; many times, people will just share books they bought but haven't yet read, and, I'll be honest, I find that annoying LOL (yes, I'm a grumpy old crone sometimes). My own spiritual path is an eclectic broad-ranging one that I could never put it in a 'box' -- Goddess has definitely come to me in many of Her guises. I will get the first book in the Wilde Grove series in Kindle first because that's such a nominal monetary investment, but from the way you describe it, I can see I will likely end up with the full series in hard copy (because, other than a quick gander at a book on kindle, I prefer to read a physical copy). I adored Emma Restall Orr's book "Wakeful World" -- brilliant philosophical treatise as I recall. At this point in my life after many decades of Wicca, Goddess, witchcraft, etc., I'm more interested in someone's reflections and deep insights rather than practical lessons. I concur with your thoughts on menopause completely; but then, if one is truly nature-based in their spirituality, clinging to the natural phases that have passed is a bit of a disconnect, isn't it? And, yes, some women experience challenging physical symptoms - I did - but I found profound lessons with them. I look forward to another Booknook episode! Blessings!

@@DaraDione I completely agree! I use kindle to 'test the water ' on books too and audible ! Its important to invest in things that feed our souls. I know there are times when we need to challenge the norm but the cost of books is not cheap...I love hearing from those who have walked their path a long time because for me I am inspired by others, I will look to get the book recommendations but I wish I could find them on audible read by the authors how cool would that be ! Thank you sooo much fir taking time to watch and comment 💐💐💐

[@lisaf9316]

I just read The Gathering. Loved it so much that I bought the other 3 in the series. Now I'm reading The Belonging. Awesome books. ✌🏻

I feel the same way about Genet's books. I bought copies for my 2 children and my sister immediately when I finished The Gathering!

​@@madwitch9977 you speak from the heart and that is the best review anyone can give. I would recommend any of Emma's books think I've read most of them but Kissing The Hag comes to mind and The Wakeful World x

These books are so deep aren't they and so amazing. I've read the first 3 books as well, but I find them hard to read sometimes as so much going on and lately my brain has needed softer books. There is also a series she has written about Selena and her story. I've not read those either, but one day I'll get back to them. Looking forward to more of these book nooks :)

[@isabel-bluesapphire]

Oh and loved the little intro with your witch friends ;)

[@valeriesnyder2670]

The Salena Wilde books are written in a different style that make for an easy read. Authors need breaks too and to have fun flexing different abilities 😊 I love both series equally, but I'm biased. Full disclosure: Valerie Snyder Genet

[@isabel-bluesapphire]

@@valeriesnyder2670 That is great to know - I will have to try those out. I do love the books especially because they are so deep so when my brain allows I will be heading back to them xx

Hi lovely, I totally understand, we read different books at different times and I am just the same. I didn't know about the other series so that will be next, but good to know @valeriesnyder2670. xxx

@@AntoinetteTarot I think I only saw one on there but yeah they would be amazing in audible xxx

[@valeriesnyder2670]

Audible pays authors around 65 cents which is then split with the narrator. It's priced much lower than other books outside of audible on Katherine's website to make it as close to a win win for everyone as possible.

[@madwitch9977]

@@valeriesnyder2670 I don't have them on audible I have hard copies but I would have auduble as well but I would have to buy them and as that would mean I have both I think im OK with that ...im sure that in the publishing industry everyone takes a cut and the poor authors are not at the top of the distribution...the world is too greedy by half ! ..thanks for sharing that..its good to know x
