June 22 2023 The Witch Daily Show (https://www.witchdailyshow.com) is talking Litha celebrations Our sponsor today Is Glamcraft Book (https://witch-way-magazine.myshopify.com/products/glamcraft-hardcover-limited-edition?_pos=1&_sid=d43ebccb8&_ss=r) and ( Want to buy me a cup of coffee? Venmo: TonyaWitch - Last 4: 9226 Our quote of the day Is: ― “It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.” ― Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy-Tacy and Tib Headlines: "I wouldn't hate if we did little "what to do during this retrograde" following the retrograde calendar for the rest of the year. It was a great little add in. " FIND ARTICLE Saturn Retrograde June 17 – November 4 Saturn is the planet of rules, karma, and discipline and when it enters its retrograde periods this is a time where important life lessons will be served to you on a silver platter. These hard-hitting moments may make you feel swept up in life's current, but they are “meant to happen” moments to help you make sure that your priorities are in check and that you are playing your role in life to your fullest potential. But as Saturn rules karma, you will see great rewards from its mastery. In 2023, we will have one (long) instance of Saturn retrograde in the dreamy sign of Pisces from June 17 to November 4, 2023. During this time, your relationship to spirituality, your belief systems, self-discipline and creative expressions will be the focus. Take this time to find proper balance between your dreams and your reality, your work and your pleasures, and the ways that you are expressing your deepest and truest feelings.

Chantel of Chantel Reads All Day and Hey Reader runs an annual "Read Your Bookshelf Challenge." Simply put, she challenges you to read the unread (lonely, miserable, aching to come alive in your brain) books on your bookshelf. To do so, she gives you twelve prompts, one for each month, and basically says, "Have at it!" Okay, there are prizes, too, but... really, it's about reading those books. Well, this year I did it and had a BLAST. But more than helping me read the books I already owned, one particular prompt helped me find a new author and fabulous book. Listen in to see why you need to read The Space Between Words by Michele Phoenix (or reread it if you already knew the brilliance of this book! Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. How a Reading Challenge Helped Me Discover a Great Book Like I said in the episode, there are lots of reasons to join reading challenges or read-a-thons. Aside from the sheer fun of it, the comaraderie of the community of folks going, "Hey, that's a cool one! I chose xyz for "cozy or nostalgic," but now I need to read that, too" is a huge one. Okay, so maybe it's a TBR builder as well as reducer, but seriously! Two of my favorite reads this year I found because of Chantel's challenges/read-a-thons. The first was Emily of Deep Valley (to fulfill the Maud Hart Lovelace prompt with the You've Got Mail Read-a-Thon). Seriously, I LOVED that book and want to read more by her now (I previously didn't like the books of hers I'd read). And then there was The Space Between Words. I bought the book because I needed a white book. Seriously. That's why. Because "a mostly white cover" was the prompt, and I didn't have a book that was a mostly white cover. That's the reason. I am ready to gush all over again, but first... Challenges. I meant it when I said that challenges are great for helping you find new books and authors, but they're also wonderful for getting you out of reading slumps! And, for people like me, they're also great for helping me reduce the number of books in my home so I have room for more! EEEP! A few reading challenges for you for 2023 The first two I think I'll be doing, but there are many more! Scout around and see if one tickles your fancy! The ones I've listed are either ones I've personally considered OR are ones mentioned by BookTubers that I follow and watch. Read Your Bookshelf Challenge Angie Henderson BooksandLala Oceana GottaReadEmAll (This one is a Christian Romance challenge) And don't forget Avid Readers of Christian Fiction and many other Facebook Groups that have their own. And if you're new to BookTube, here are a few of my favorite channels! These are the ones I watch pretty much every video. And Read Another Chapter Chantel Reads All Day Mitzi Reads and Writes Miriam Elizabeth Reads BooksAndJams Grace Filled Reads Do leave a comment and let me know if I'm missing out on any great BookTubers! But the gush... You know I love a good book rich in story and faith. Well, The Space Between Words definitely has that. This book had a twist I should have seen coming, but it is so well-written and engrossing that I missed it and got blown out of the water. Fitting considering the plot. One of the best parts about this book is how it doesn't pretend that being a Christian and standing firm in your faith is easy. We weren't promised easy. Despite the easy yoke and light burden Jesus offers, this world is full of death, sorrow, sin, and decay. And it's hard. It hurts. The Space Between Words shows that pain for the ugliness that causes it and the beauty that God brings from it. If any book can beat out The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip as my most-recommended book of the year, this will be the one. The Space Between Words by Michele Phoenix Award-winning author, Michèle Phoenix, weaves an unforgettable tale of hope and survival in The Space Between Words. “Several scenes in The Space Between Words will leave readers without words, the ability of speech replaced by the need to absorb all the feels.” —RT Book Reviews, 4½ stars, TOP PICK! “There were seconds, when I woke, when the world felt unshrouded. Then memory returned.” When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she can think of is fleeing the site of the horror she survived. But Patrick, the steadfast friend who hasn't left her side, urges her to reconsider her decision. Worn down by his loving insistence, she agrees to follow through with the trip they'd planned before the tragedy. “The pages found you,” Patrick whispered. “Now you need to figure out what they're trying to say.” During a stop at a country flea market, Jessica finds a faded document concealed in an antique. As new friends help her to translate the archaic French, they uncover the story of Adeline Baillard, a young woman who lived centuries before—her faith condemned, her life endangered, her community decimated by the Huguenot persecution. “I write for our descendants, for those who will not understand the cost of our survival.” Determined to learn the Baillard family's fate, Jessica retraces their flight from France to England, spurred on by a need she doesn't understand. Could this stranger who lived three hundred years before hold the key to Jessica's survival? “An unforgettable portrait of courage and reclaimed hope.” —Kristy Cambron, award-winning author of the Lost Castle series.

If Alli had to describe this episode — not to mention the associated book! — in one word, that word would be COZY. On Episode 161, she and her guest take a long walk down memory lane for a discussion about Maud Hart Lovelace's beloved Betsy-Tacy. They talk about the series' massive fandom, how the books came to be, and why they endure for so many generations of women. They also discuss the experience of reading a book featuring such young protagonists, consider how the author handled heavy emotional moments, and get sentimental about everything from paper dolls and birthday parties to dress-up and the first day of school.

Welcome to A Healthier View Podcast with Hosts Beth and Chris with Special Guest Lorna Landvik, Author and Comedienne! Topic: A Healthy Laugh with Lorna Landvik Meet Lorna: Who were your early influences as a writer? When I was a girl, I thought Maud Hart Lovelace wrote the ‘Betsy-Tacy’ series for me. Even though the books were set in the early 1900s, I was Betsy, the girl who wanted to be a writer and was able to talk her friends into mischief. I also devoured the Little House on the Prairie books but in a cage match, believed Caddie Woodlawn would whup Laura Ingalls Wilder..
