My Book House by Olive Beaupre Miller - 1927 // I only own volumes 2-6, but that's okay with me. I got it at a rather nice discount, around $70. It isn't the edition I wanted, the endpapers are different in these books, but I'm quite proud of having it on my shelf nevertheless. I grew up reading them because my grandma had them on her shelf. She still has the ones I grew up with, and I am no-contact with her due to personal reasons. But yeah, these are wonderful! They are full of old folklore and fairytales, and loaded with charming illustrations. They smell fantastic too. When I eventually have children, I want them to grow up with them as well. It added so much magic to my childhood, I'm so happy it was in my life.

The Hobbit - (2001 soft cover edition) // My beloved cousin got me this book for Christmas on year, and I've always loved Lord of the Rings. I love this edition especially because of its cover. I love the art style and every time I look at it, I'm taken back to my childhood dreams. I read this book dozens of times as a kid, and while it sort of just sits on my shelf, it serves as a reminder of my roots and a calling to freefall into my dusty imagination to tidy it up and make something magical.

If Women Rose Rooted - 2016 // This book holds no sentimental value, but I have found it valuable regardless. I am a wounded woman who has found healing in its pages. It's a book written from a Celtic-identifying woman's perspective, because we do have our own niche problems (I can't put my finger on anything specific, but I know they are there). I am not exactly Celtic, because I reside in the United States, but as this is part of the Anglosphere, I find it very relevant to my life (and rather tantalizing as well, due to the descriptions of Irish cottages the author visited ). I have cried a lot reading the first chapters and had to take a break from reading it because of all the traumas it dredged up from inside me. I suppose one could call this book a tool in shadow work, because I have found it very useful in my own shadow work. Please, if you are a woman that feels as though she is languishing away in a soulless existance, read this book!
