Book Description
A middle-aged wedding planner. An ancient enemy. And a whole lot of plants. I never intended to kill. That’s the thing about a midlife crisis—intention matters. To be clear, I was a well-known murderer of houseplants from the start. As a boutique wedding planner with a black thumb, I’ll get you that fabulous dress–just don’t ask me to pick out the bouquets. But when the bottom fell out of that life—losing my job, my apartment, and my only son to grad school all in the same week—my world came crashing down. Then a letter from a family lawyer changed everything. I packed up decades worth of memories and headed for Whiskey Row. But instead of my dream boutique, I walked into a nightmare. As I attempt to tame the veritable jungle and evade enemies unseen for millenia, I’ve learned that midlife brings some unexpected magic. Yet nothing could prepare me for witches, shifters, and fae in my shop at all hours–and those are just the customers. If you love character-driven adventure, houseplants, and a little spice with your urban fantasy, this page-turner is for you. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll head out to buy your own Monstera deliciosa. A Circle of Stars, the first book in the Four Crowns series is a grownup romp that celebrates friendship and snark with a hint of slow-burn romance as the heroine shows that midlife is a starting point, never the end. Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Travis Baldree, and Delemhach.

Brady's Book of Fixed Stars
Author: Bernadette Brady
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1633413365
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
A richly detailed, in-depth look at fixed stars and their role in affecting astrological predictions. Since prehistory, humanity has been held in thrall by the night sky, captivated by the mystery of the stars. Seeking to make sense of such a magical overhead landscape, people used the stars to relate beliefs, creation stories, and mythologies. And just as the fixed stars have ancient origins in human life, their astrological interpretations get right to the heart of our lives. Celebrated astrologer Bernadette Brady melds modern astrological techniques with Egyptian and early Greek mythology to bring astrologers to a deeper understanding of the horoscope and provides delineations for using fixed stars in chart interpretation. Her methods open a window on the fixed stars, revealing how a major star in a person’s chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active and how it affirms the person’s life journey through the mythology that the star represents. Though the fixed stars have been watched and studied for all of human history, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars continues to be the astrological bible for how to use them in practice. This is an essential resource that should be on every astrologer’s bookshelf. The book includes Paran maps, star maps, star phases, and mythologies for over sixty stars, New insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrology, Extensive appendices of graphs and tables to help astrologers find rising or setting dates for any given location, And a listing of 176 stars with their 21st-century positions. Originally published by Weiser Books in 1999, this Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Chloe Margherita.

Book Description
EJ inherited a royal treasure…but who will wear the crown? My specialty is guest lists and cocktails, not casting spells and hawking houseplants–but when I became heir to faery portal along with a plant nursery, I had to get creative. Now, rumors are flying that a long-lost crown of the ancient realms has resurfaced and everyone, from the rogue fae to my gorgeous, grouchy neighbor, wants it. No one knows that the glittering artifact has already been found—by me. But when a coven member begs me to help and I’m dragged into the hunt, I’ll have to learn how to use my new abilities and deflect the competition, all while planning a huge party for a sexy demi-god. A day in the life, right? It’s risky, it’s reckless, and the crown’s draw is darker than anyone knew. But hey, if I survive the evil lurking on Whiskey Row I’ll pick up some new skills—and tattoos—along the way. If you love character-driven adventure, houseplants, and a little spice with your urban fantasy, this series is for you. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll head out to buy your own Lithops amicorum. Tiara Borealis is the second book in the Four Crowns series and celebrates midlife is a jumping off point, never the end. Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Lauretta Hignett, and Delemhach.
