I love reading this book and it seems like I find something new every time I read it. The spiritual symbolism in his books are so amazing.

The Magicians Nephew
I know there is debate about the order in which to read this. But I always like to start the series with this book for two reasons. #1 it makes the whole series flow a lot better and #2 its how C.S. Lewis stated the series should be read. Who am I to question one of the all time greatest authors ever on how to read his books. :0)
I really love this series and it seems like I can have a different take away every time I read it. The characters are so fun and likeable. The symbolism in this book and series is so amazing. It has been years since I have read these books, so I am excited to finally re-read them again.

Braiding Sweetgrass
This was a recommendation by my husband. It was a very interesting and eye opening book to a whole new culture that I don't know much about. It was also interesting hearing about some of her tribes folklore, legends and religion and how it so closely aligns with some of the same stories and beliefs that I grew up with and believe in. I also learned a lot about various plants, trees, flowers, etc. and their varying attributes. Honestly it did make me a little sad that I am unable to have my garden anymore. Listening to her stories of spending time in her garden with her kids did make me homesick for my garden and for my families garden growing up as a kid. It is definitely something I am really hoping I can have again in the near future (5 year plan).
I really enjoyed her relation of the legend of the windigo to modern greed and discontentment. That was really very eye opening and made me reevaluate where I stand and if I am letting the windigo take over meand my family. This book was also a great reminder of gratitude and being thankful for what you have. I am very glad I read this book.
