Looks like an exciting blend of Celtic and Norse mythology - I hope they’re everything you are hoping for, Amaris! Happy reading 
Look at you go! Nothing wrong with savoring a book - some are quick and easy reads, while others require more time to digest. I hope you enjoy the final few chapters - good luck! 
Question does listening to a book on CD… i know, yes CD. Does this count as a "reading " a book and can be a part of book club? Just wondering 
Yes, it absolutely counts!
Regardless of what form they take (novel, audiobook, CD, tape, podcast, etc) - all books are welcome in book club. Happy listening! 
Awesome, this is great to know. I added my book: Norse Mythology By: Neil Gaiman
It’s a fabulous book 
I love it so far. I found it in a free book library on my street while we were doing the nordic challenge. I took it as a sign and then listened to it on my Road trip… i pretended i was in a fast chariot while driving the whole way…

I’m in the middle of reading The Little Book of Mushrooms by Alex Dorr and The Crystal Witch by Shawn Robbins and Leanna Greenway 
I’m halfway through the mushroom book but less than halfway in the other. Both are excellent reads and I adore the art and pictures in both of them. My sweetheart gifted me both books so they’re special to me x3
My thoughts on The Little Book of Mushrooms so far: I like the simple, clean format the author used on the pages. The foreword is worth reading too since the author explains what mushrooms are, how they grow, and what each part of a mushroom is. He also explains common mycology terms that the reader will see throughout the book, which I appreciate. For the entries on the mushrooms, there’s a painted illustration on the left side, with information on it on the opposite page. Some entries have more than one page. I researched which shrooms are native in my state and I was delighted to see that the author covered most of them!
My state’s native edible mushrooms are:
Black Trumpets (Craterellus cornucopiodes)
Chanterelle (Cantharellus)
Dryad’s Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus) - Also used for papermaking.
Giant Puffball (Langermannia gigantea)
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) - Also known as Hen-of-The-Woods. Not to be confused with Chicken of The Woods!
Morel (Morchella esculenta)
Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus) - Also used for mycoremediation and nematicide.
My state’s native non-edible (and deadly!!!) mushrooms are:
Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa/Amanita bisporigera/Amanita ocreata)
Deadly Galerina (Galerina marginata) - Also known as Funeral Bell, Deadly Skullcap, and Autumn Skullcap.
Death Cap (Amanita phalloides)
False Morel (Gyromitra esculenta)
Fool’s Funnel (Clitocybe rivulosa) - Also known as the False Champignon.
Poison Paxillus (Paxillus involutus) - Also known as the Brown Roll-rim, and Common Roll-rim.
Yellow Stainer (Agaricus xanthodermus) - Also known as the Yellow-staining Agaricus, and Yellow-staining Mushroom.
I am definitely adding the info of all of these to my herbal grimoire!
