#BookReview: “Nothing But The Truth: The Memoir of an Unlikely Lawyer” by The Secret Barrister

I recently read “Nothing But The Truth: The Memoir of an Unlikely Lawyer” by The Secret Barrister for my local book club, and I borrowed the book from my local library.

Read my review to see if I recommend the book and where you can buy it.

My Review of  “Nothing But The Truth: The Memoir of an Unlikely Lawyer” by The Secret Barrister

This was a very entertaining book to read, and I can see why it is so popular. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it opened my eyes to the internal workings of the British justice system, most of which did not surprise me. This a good book for true crime enthusiasts and those interested in the law profession. I was interested to read about the gender inequalities that still exist among barristers and judges, and about the accused individuals that provided so much entertainment in this book. It was easy to read but there are a lot of footnotes explaining legal jargon and citing references, so be prepared for some additional research as you get sucked in to the world of The Secret Barrister.

About the Book

The Sunday Times bestseller

Full of hilarious and shocking stories, the Secret Barrister’s memoir Nothing But The Truth tracks their transformation from hang ’em and flog ’em austerity-supporter to celebrated, campaigning, bestselling author.

‘Masterful, compassionate and hilarious’ – Adam Rutherford

In a diary that takes us behind the scenes of their middling ambition, Nothing But The Truth charts an outsider’s progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar. By way of the painfully archaic traditions of the Inns of Court, where every meal mandates a glass of port and a toast to the monarch, and the Hunger Games-style contest for pupillage – which most don’t survive – here is the brilliant reality of being a frustrated junior barrister.

With a keen eye for the absurd and an obsessive fondness for Twitter, SB reveals the uncomfortable truths and darkest secrets about life in our criminal courts.

Buy the book: Amazon; Waterstones; WHSmith.

#BookReview: “Acceptance: The Beginning” and “Acceptance: The Reality” by Rebecca Heidt

I received copies of “Acceptance: The Beginning” and “Acceptance: The Reality” by Rebecca Heidt from the publisher.

Read my review to see if I recommend the books and where you can buy them.

My Review of  “Acceptance: The Beginning” and “Acceptance: The Reality” by Rebecca Heidt

I received these books from the publisher in return for an honest review. I decided to review the books together on my blog since they form a collection that will eventually include a third book. While I struggled to read the books at first, I did enjoy the story, although it didn’t capture my imagination completely. I enjoyed reading “Acceptance: The Reality” more than I enjoyed “Acceptance: The Beginning.”

The story follows a mystical adventure set in modern-day Stockholm, and our protagonist, Selena, lives a solitary life with one close friend, her beloved Uncle (who hides secrets that we learn as the story unfolds), and a steady job in a bar. She enjoys casual dating of both men and women, making this a nice LGBT story that introduces an alternative lifestyle as a natural progression for the individual.

The focus of the Acceptance trilogy is about emotions and how they control our lives. Selena struggles with extreme emotional responses to events in her life and we later learn the reason why she is different. We also learn with Selena that emotion is normal and that we can learn to live with our mood swings rather than be controlled by them, and sometimes we just need to open ourselves up to new people and new experiences.

I recommend that you read these books with an open mind and recognise that they are written differently to mainstream fiction but that doesn’t mean that they are worse for it. The literary world needs to open up and welcome diverse writers, and the Acceptance Trilogy is a good example of contemporary fantasy fiction for the twenty-first century.

About the Books

“Acceptance: The Beginning” by Rebecca Heidt

Selena Wilson seems completely normal on all accounts except for her family’s secrets, glowing eyes, unusual strength, and other random occurrences. Now, as others’ paths start to intertwine with hers, the uncertainty within her begins to bare its fangs. Especially when a mysterious girl named Skylar walks into to her life, and her world is turned upside down. Inner peace is her goal, but will she be able to find it as she is forced to accept the unthinkable while discovering who she really is?

“Acceptance: The Reality” by Rebecca Heidt

With Selena’s journey continuing into new unknown areas, hard truths and emotions are surfacing. She has to learn how to navigate them while staying focused on what needs to be done becomes harder and harder each day.

Between seeing Skylar almost daily and lines drawn on the ground, things are about to take some unexpected turns.

Out manoeuvring Ryder and his pawns may be more complex than it looks. Trust, loyalty, and alliances will be tested. But is that all this rebellion is about? Or is there something more?

In the second book of the LGBT fiction Acceptance trilogy, Acceptance: The Reality, Selena realizes she must accept her new way of life- but does she feel ready to give in to it?

Buy the books: Amazon; Waterstones.

#MummyMonday: How has Work from Home changed since the Pandemic?

Do you work from home? Have you tried working from home and since returned to the office following relaxed health and safety restrictions during the pandemic?

Read my blog post and join the conversation about working from home versus working in the office and share your thoughts in the comments.

Image of a person sitting at a table working on a laptop with glasses folded up next to them. Text reads, “#MummyMonday How has Work from Home changed since the Pandemic? Join the discussion at SpookyMrsGreen.com.” LGBT fantasy book writer Catherine Green at SpookyMrsGreen mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
#MummyMonday: How has Work from Home changed since the Pandemic?

How has Work from Home changed since the Pandemic?

I have worked from home as a freelancer for the past twelve years, with a few casual part-time jobs outside of home at different times. I now have a part-time job working as a store assistant, but I still work from home with my book writing and blog writing career. It seemed that there was a wealth of possibility for working mothers that needed flexibility due to childcare when we began to explore the convenience of Zoom meetings, Microsoft Teams meetings and what could be achieved working from home when compared to working in the office. This is a challenge I have considered for a very long time, way before the Covid-19 pandemic, and I was pleased for the people that found their work and home life vastly improved with a more relaxed approach to the work habit.

My experience searching for work-from-home jobs

Having spent some time applying for more demanding jobs recently, I am noticing that the option to work from home seems to be diminishing, unless you are self-employed. If I apply for a job as a social media manager, for example, the job description invariably states that I would need to spend some time in the office with the possibility to work from home. Reading between the lines, I know that the flexibility I would require would most probably not be available. I have instead chosen to work a minimum wage job for which I am over-qualified, while continuing to chase the author dream, for which I receive no payment, simply so that I can work from home and be available to care for my children and my pets.

Now that my children are older and more independent the childcare is not so much of an issue. What I do struggle with is organising time off with them during school holidays, getting them to and from after-school clubs, being available at weekends when they need to see me and being available to attend medical appointments and parents’ evening meetings. Fortunately, I can fit these easily around my part-time store assistant job, but what about all the other parents who experience a lot of personal stress trying to juggle work and domestic responsibilities?

Have we moved forward with attitudes to work?

Wouldn’t you think that we have moved forward now, with new attitudes and better tools for working? Apparently not. The traditional nine-to-five office model still stands, but with added responsibility of constant emails via phone and tablet, endless demands on personal free time, and people feeling torn between progressing their career and being a good parent. I have observed all these behaviours from conversations with working people and stories I hear in the media.

What choices do you make?

Tell me, what choices do you make, or have you made between domestic responsibilities and professional obligations? You might not have childcare concerns, but our pets require a lot of attention and I think we need to address this when animal charities are struggling to cope with surrendered and abandoned pets. And then there are people who care for elderly family members that live at home but need supervision. Our lives are complicated. Why can’t we fit work around family without all the stress?

My Review of  “A Spell a Day: 365 Easy Spells, Rituals and Magic for Every Day” by Tree Carr

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review. This is a lovely hardback book with contemporary yet magical feel. I like the cover design and the illustrations inside the book. While I couldn’t literally read the whole book to review it, I did flick through and have a look at the spells you can use, and one of them seemed relevant to me immediately. It is a spell to help your home renovations run smoothly, and on the page opposite this one is a spell to banish the fear of money loss. I think I need to utilize both of these if I want to progress my home renovation dreams!

Aside from these you can learn how to create sacred space for spell casting, how to cast a circle, how to work with the elements and how to prepare your toolkit so that you are ready to practise the spells listed in the book. You can find quick spells for a daily fix and more intricate spells for larger projects or intentions. There are spells that use Tarot cards, spells that incorporate your phone, and spells that work with higher energies. I am excited to practise these spells with my daughters, and I do recommend this book.

About the Book

🌕✨ Witchy Wednesday: Harnessing the Enchanting Energy of the February Full Moon✨🌕

Greetings, fellow mystical souls! Welcome back to SpookyMrsGreen for another edition of Witchy Wednesday, where we delve into the magical mysteries that surround us.

Today, let’s explore the captivating energy of the February full moon and uncover the potent spells that can be woven under its luminous glow.

Witchy Wednesday: Harnessing the Enchanting Energy of the February Full Moon

The February Full Moon: A Dance of Ice and Shadows

As winter’s embrace tightens, the February full moon, often referred to as the Snow Moon, casts its silvery radiance upon the wintry landscape. This celestial spectacle occurs when the moon is at its fullest during the month of February, signalling a time of reflection, transformation, and preparation for the impending spring.

Meaning and Mystique: Unveiling the Lunar Secrets

The Snow Moon embodies a duality of energies, balancing the delicate dance between light and shadow. It is a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is believed to be thin, allowing for heightened intuition and connection with the unseen forces. Embrace the introspective vibes of this lunar phase, as it encourages self-discovery and inner growth.

Magical Spells under the Snow Moon’s Spellbinding Light

1. Purification Rituals: The Snow Moon provides an ideal backdrop for purifying and cleansing rituals. Cleanse your sacred space, tools, and even yourself using elements like salt, water, and incense. As you banish negativity, visualize the moonlight purifying and revitalizing every corner of your magical haven.

2. Love and Self-Love Spells: Channel the tender energy of the February full moon into spells that enhance love and self-love. Create a love-infused potion using rose petals and moon-charged water or cast a spell to strengthen the bond with yourself and those around you.

3. Manifestation Magick: Leverage the manifesting power of the Snow Moon to bring your desires to fruition. Craft a manifestation spell by focusing your intentions under the moon’s glow. Use candles, crystals, and symbols that resonate with your goals, charging them with the moon’s energy.

4. Divination Journey: Embrace the heightened intuitive abilities during this lunar phase for divination practices. Whether through tarot, scrying, or dream interpretation, allow the Snow Moon to guide you in unravelling the mysteries of the future and gaining insight into your path.

5. Transformational Spellwork: As winter begins to wane, tap into the transformative energy of the Snow Moon to shed old habits and welcome personal growth. Craft a spell to release what no longer serves you, symbolically letting go of the past and making room for new beginnings.

Closing Thoughts: Embrace the Magick Within

As the February full moon bathes the world in its ethereal glow, seize the opportunity to connect with the mystical forces that surround us. Whether you’re manifesting dreams, purifying energies, or seeking inner wisdom, let the Snow Moon be your guiding light on this enchanting journey.

May your spells be potent, and your path be illuminated by the radiant energy of the Snow Moon. Until next Witchy Wednesday, stay magical, my friends! 🌙🔮✨

How to Entertain Kids at Half-Term with SpookyMrsGreen.

Embrace the Magic of Spring with Your Little Ones

1. Craft an Enchanting Atmosphere:

Transform your home into a mystical retreat by incorporating nature-inspired crafts and decorations. Engage the children in crafting delicate paper butterflies or creating artwork inspired by the changing seasons. Enhance the ambiance with soft lighting and calming colours to set a serene, magical mood. Encourage your little ones to dress in light, flowy fabrics reminiscent of the coming Spring.

2. Magical Movie Moments:

Set up a cosy movie nook with blankets and cushions, and let the kids select their favourite nature-themed movies. Whether it’s animated tales of woodland creatures or family-friendly films celebrating the beauty of Spring, a movie marathon is a perfect way to unwind and revel in the magic of the season. Don’t forget to include wholesome snacks made from fresh, seasonal ingredients.

3. Nature-Inspired Cooking Adventures:

Invite the children to join you in the kitchen for some Spring-themed cooking. Bake flower-shaped cookies, create fruit salads inspired by the vibrant colours of Spring, or prepare herbal teas using fresh, aromatic ingredients. Cooking together provides not only delicious treats but also an opportunity to connect with the changing seasons.

4. Whimsical Games and Activities:

Organise a series of delightful games and activities to captivate the kids. From a nature scavenger hunt to a flower crown crafting session, there are endless possibilities for enchanting indoor play. Consider organising a seed planting activity or a storytelling circle focused on the magic of Spring to foster a deeper connection with nature.

5. Virtual Gathering of Kindred Spirits:

Connect virtually with like-minded friends and family for a shared celebration of the approaching Spring season. Encourage everyone to share their favourite Spring traditions or engage in virtual activities that celebrate the natural world. This way, your kids can embrace the magic of Spring alongside loved ones, even from a distance.

6. Magical Crafts and DIY Projects:

Set up a crafting station and let the children express their creativity with nature-inspired crafts. From making pressed flower art to constructing mini fairy gardens, there are endless possibilities for whimsical projects. Display their creations around the house to infuse your space with the magic of the season.
