    Can someone suggest me a book about cults or something similar? I gor intrestwd in the theme as of lately but I can't find solid choices. I'd prefer if it was fiction and with horror or thriller vibes and please don't say Bunny by Mona Awad.

  • ereader help!

    hi all!!

    i’m stuck in the middle of a bookish decision and i need something advice!! i’ve been looking at the new paperwhites - i currently have a kindle oasis that i got in 2018.

    while i love my oasis, i’ve noticed its slowing down, and the battery life has gone down a LOT (a full charge gets maybe two or three days) which as a slow reader is frustrating. i also carry my kindle in my purse and i think something a little more compact could be useful.

    anyway- i’m torn between if i should upgrade or just stick with what i have rn! any advice is appreciated!

    ”Eating with the seasons is a way of honoring abundance. By going to meet it when and where it arrives. A world of produce houses and grocery stores enables the practice of having what you want and when you want it”

    My mom once said to me, "I only eat food that comes from the store, not from the ground." When the shock subsided and I could finally form words again, I asked, genuinely curious, where she thought the food from the store came from. She told me that she knows it comes from the ground but she doesn't have to see it so it's different. Different in the same way that people couldn't fathom killing a cow but would happily eat a burger. (I'm not judging, nor am I absolved of the hypocrisy - I eat fish). But the point is we are so far removed from reality that we could never even fathom not having our favorite foods available every single day of the year. And yet there is still such a terrible scarcity mindset. "If I don't buy it now, if I don't have it now, I may never get the opportunity to again!" This way of life carries over into every aspect of our lives and creates an atmosphere of constantly living for the future rather than living for what we currently have.
