Rating: 4 out of 5

This is one of three calendar-synced books I read that have monthly chapters. My friend bought this for me after I introduced her to the author’s podcast earlier in the year.

I haven’t always managed to read all three on the same day. This is the one I’ve prioritised, though, because it’s the only one specifically about this year, and it includes a helpful list of notes for the month ahead.

It covers a lot: stories, gardening tips, recipes, songs, and even some information about ancient astronomy. Not every single section was equally useful (that’s normal!), but it did give me the heads-up to see a lunar eclipse back in March.

It’s well-written, interesting, and just a really good accompaniment to the year.
