5.0
This book was a wonderful book to read and I am planning to gift this book to the friends in my life. I found this to be an enlightening, enchanting, and often hard to read book about dealing with the anxiety one has from climate and a changing world. I loved how the author included a short "what you can learn in this chapter section" as well as questions and practices to guide you in dealing with and learning about dealing with climate change. 6/5 stars if I could.

The Witch's Door: Oddities and Tales from the Esoteric to the Extreme by Ryan Matthew Cohn, Regina M. Cohn
2.5
This book was not what I expected - I expected more photography and less memoir, and I was a little disappointed that the authors didn't really talk about the ethical implications of what they were doing by collecting remains like this even if they talked about the legalities. Not a bad book overall, but not something that I think I would purchase on my own. 2,5/5
In Focus Manifesting: Your Personal Guide by Stephanie Keith
4.0
An interesting, well thought out book that’s a great guide for those wanting to start manifesting but are unsure how to go about doing so. I really enjoyed the call outs and illustrations in this book and found the prompts and activities to be really helpful. 4/5

A cutely illustrated book that was a quick read. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really great either. 2.75/5
Quick and Easy Low Carb Snacks: 75 Delicious Keto and Paleo Treats for Fat Burning and Great Nutrition by Martina Slajerova, Dana Carpender
3.75
This book was certainly filled with interesting and yummy looking recipes. My only issue was that several recipes appeared to be missing from my copy when I downloaded this book. Not sure how many of these recipes I'll actually try, but they do seem to be well written and good.
The Astronomers' Library: The Books that Unlocked the Mysteries of the Universe by Karen Masters
4.5
A beautifully illustrated/photographed book about how astronomy was contextualized and used in books historically. I found this incredibly fascinating and it gave me some ideas and books for future reading of my own. This would be the perfect book for astronomy lovers, book lovers, and for anyone who likes photos and illustrations. 4.5/5
How Do I Sexy?: A Guide for Trans and Nonbinary Queers by Nillin Lore
4.5
I found this to be a well written book that is geared towards newby trans and queer folx learning more about and exploring sex and sexuality. I think that this is a good book for older teens and beyond, especially the more explicit sections. However, the point of this book is about feeling sexy and sex as a queer person, and I think the author fulfilled that goal with this book. I also really really appreciated that the author included asexuality and aromantic people when talking about sexuality and attraction. Finally, I also really liked how the author bolded terms and words that might be unfamiliar to the reader and provided definitions in a glossary at the back of the book.
