Old journal entries

A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier

The book of Romans and the book of Joel and the book of Psalm in the Bible.

Still A History of Western Philosophy. And almost done with The Power of Habit. I need to dive into books more! Also reading You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. Also Harvard Business Review's 10 Must Reads on Mental Toughness. Also The David Foster Wallace Reader. Ha. I need more discipline to finish all these books.

The bear and the nightingale ....it’s written like a Russian fairytale.....

Oooh, that sounds good. I used to read fairytales by the hour.

Alas reading the reviews on Amazon, I'm not sure I would like it though I love most things Russian.

I have an old Russian soul.

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews on Amazon...I just checked it out from the library so it was free. If you don’t have a digital library Account yet I highly recommend it.

Thanks! I know, there were a lot of negative reviews on Amazon about the book. But one of them talked about how it was Anti-Christian so IDK. That is the one that kind of stopped me. I'm kind of wary of it now, but let me know when you finish it if you think it's good.

Oh yeah i haven’t seen anything like that but I believe they’ll be magic later....

I'm okay with magic--although my parents probably wouldn't let me read it. They still won't let me read Harry Potter. But they might not pay that close of attention to it with not having anything in the title to suggest magic.


Bookblogger71 on Amazon said it juxtaposed mysticism with Orthodoxy in a good vs. bad battle (with Christianity being all bad). That's where I went uh-oh. I'm cool that people have different beliefs than I do. Everyone has the right to believe whatever they wish. This is America after all. I certainly don't want to force anyone to believe what I believe. But at the same time, I just bought a Russian Orthodox Cross necklace. My faith is important to me. So then I was sort of like, oh crap. My parents would totally freak out if they read any of it and I probably would be uncomfortable.


But I want to like it. I even like the title. I love Russian history, Russian forklore, Russian names etc. I collect Russian stacking dolls. But I don't think I could get the second or third book past my parents anyway. One of them has "Witch" in the title. Even though there's the great classic book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. For crying out loud, my parents didn't even let me watch Carebears or Smurfs because of the magic in it!

But maybe I could check the local library to see if they have it and see for myself if it's what the reviewer described or that is just their opinion. Sometimes people take things too literally when its just a story.

Oh well, I'll take a chance and just order it. I never make it to the library. I want to like it. I hope I like it. If not, I think I have a friend who will like it.

Yeah you know what I think it is...so the girl sees woodland spirits but the step mom classifies them as demons...she sees them too. For me it’s kind of like a hallucination/magical in that there is a sprit of the horses or a house spirit that does the mending...but to th step mom they are demons....so there is that juxtaposition ....but yeah it’s probably not the best for you.

It might not be for you....i don’t mean to push it on you....

I'm listening to the audiobook of Crazy Rich Asians. I saw the movie, but didn't like the end. I thought it was unrealistic.

I'm reading Joel in the Old testament. It's pretty cool. Short book but killer locust are in it.

No worries SP!

I read The Woman in the Window yesterday by A.J. Finn. It's a psychological thriller. I totally had no idea who did it until the end when the author revealed it. Read it cover to cover in one sitting yesterday.

Oh and still in Amos.
