Well, it seems like spring has finally found us here in Fallon. Don't get me wrong, there's always the possibility that we will see some more random silly winter-like weather again soon, but this week sure has been a welcome change. I feel like after the seemingly never-ending winter we have had, we are all ready to soak up some sunshine.
Since I'm feeling all of the springy/nature/earthy vibes this week, I have to tell you about one of the best books I have read so far this year. I just can’t stop talking about “Weyward” by Emilia Hart.
Told in three separate timelines spanning six centuries, “Weyward” follows three generations of women from the Weyward family: Altha, Violet, and Kate. Each individually deals with the toxic men around them, faces their own personal witch hunts, and struggles to break free and be in control of their own lives. Throughout the book, the three women uncover their connection to each other and their Weyward family roots, which are plagued with accusations of witchcraft and dark intentions. They discover their unique relationship with nature and how to use their newly found gifts to empower themselves as well as the future women of the Weyward family.
“Weyward” is such a beautiful book, both inside and out - I mean, look at that cover. But as gorgeous as the cover is, the story that unfolds inside is even better. The grit and tenacity of these women – and the descriptive, almost poetic style of the author - had me turning pages as fast as I could, and I was so sad to see it end.
Well, that's it for my Book Report this week. Happy spring, Fallon. Now, if you need me, I will probably be outside, dreaming about having my own Weyward Cottage, watching the trees and plants, wake up after a long winter, and talking to the birds and the bugs. Oh, and of course, reading and rambling over on Instagram @allison.the.reader.
