Depression is so frightening and isolating. I feel so lonely. Sally Brampton's book Shoot thr Damn Dog and William Styron's Darkness Visible are both brilliant.

Rent is too darn high

when someone says my last name correctly!

They are not cozy. They have very intelligent books. With interesting plots.

Happy Birthday

Thank you so much!

🙋🏾‍♀️ Hey Tara. Apparently I've been living under several layers of rock....Blackathon?? If not for binging on your vids today, I may have neva heard about this . And it's March now sooooooo *sigh lol. 😊

Look at those butterflies! Love the herbs and your tomatoes have done very well

So much Beauty!!!

Great video!

👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍💕💞💕💞💕

I so appreciate this podcast. As someone with chronic physical and mental illnesses, I often use the concept of productivity to flog myself into more suffering. Because *that* helps.😆

The blooms are Gorgeous!

Love all of this! And especially the piece about seeking professional help if that’s where you’re at. Talking it all out with a counsellor really helped me. And she gave me permission/reminders to take time for me and do things just for fun and all the things we think we know and inconveniently forget when we really need them lol

The Feeling Good Handbook sounds like exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for sharing and the warning about how lame it looks 😅 I'm not sure I would have considered it otherwise I'm loving patreon and creative companions (this is Emily, btw 😊) I have been having a very hard time with motivation and overwhelm the past couple of months but making the time to work with a little accountability has helped a lot!

⭐️🌙☀️loved this!! Thank you. 💖🌈 my emojis are for astrology!

Hi Tara! I'm also gardening and love listening to your videos where you talk in such detail about how your plants are doing and where they came from and how you are mulling over what will come next and what has been learned. I've missed you! I've been busy with a 3 year old and I'm just now feeling unfuzzy enough to recall that I have interests and needs and a cup that could use some filling. Sometimes it's hard to remember that gardening is my fun and enthusiasm chasing time. Honestly, I started the project with more of a practical need. But when I get into it, it makes me happy and I try not to worry so much about if it will work and just enjoy the process. I thought I was going to be a calm, cool and pragmatic mom but the world and the task of raising my son in it is far more complicated than I thought I was mentally prepared for. Hooray for doing our best!🥴 I've still got my compass.

Hi Tara, long time no see! It's so nice to have you back again. I was in your Maker community many years ago and loved it. Greetings from Norway, Nicole

So glad you are back, I participated in a few of your programs for my business and loved them. 4 years ago I moved my now 92-year-old mom in with us to be her full-time caregiver. IT has been much more of a life change than I expected and indeed my business has taken a giant hit but I don't regret one moment of it. Now as she is in the twilight of her years I will certainly need you again! Thanks for being here

Thanks for the reviews of these-it gave me ideas for new stuff to read. I decided to give Alafair Burke a try. Find Me was available on Libby, so I borrowed it yesterday morning and ended up the whole thing by the end of the day. 😄

Glad to see you are back! I can totally understand how life, kids and especially these past years have forced everyone to pivot things. Definitely curious to hear about your new business too. Wishing you and your family the best!!!

I'm thrilled you're back Tara! I loved your business podcast and I'm excited you've found something new, and now I can't wait to hear what it is ;)

Happy 40th Birthday, Tara! I'm glad you enjoyed your day.. time for yourself is wonderful.

Tara, I loved your garden tour...this a great start for your first garden! It's lots of work to keep up but so worth it, especially with your little ones. It's a good idea to experiment - you learn more about what works every year. Keep up your good work!

Such an astonishing and intriguing stuff :) So superb :)

Happy birthday! Those are the same covers as on my copies of the Anne books. A sign of how old mine are-the original (new) prices on mine are $1.95, $1.95, and $2.50. 😂

Happy birthday

Such an incredible idea 🌱❤️

I won’t mind my Art being a business but would need to leave my job to do it. Don’t think I’m ready for that yet so my sister in law talked in into showing my Artwork at a festival and I’m stressing about doing something wrong for selling items. It’s a very small town so probably won’t sell much of anything except to my family. Lol.

Great work on this list! What amazing variety <3 I've heard Pachinko is actually getting an adaptation soon! I think I'll put that further up my list, thank you so much for your research.

I really enjoyed Here and Now and Then! I also liked Mike Chen’s recent one, Light Years From Home. I tried reading the couple of books he wrote in between, but couldn’t get into them. I checked Libby just now and The Cartographers was in, so I borrowed it. I’m intrigued. 😃

Have you read CS Lewis’ Till We Have Faces? I read it time #1 at age 17 and it moved me so much in ways I could not, then, put into words. I read it again in my 30’s and loved it so much again. I think my 50’s requires a third read!! (Also loved his space trilogy as a teenager when I was soooo immersed in evangelical upbringing… he widened my world, at that time, in ways that didn’t get me in trouble-haha)

Thank you for posting about a vulnerable topic. I do know reading allows me to shut off my thinking about the "what if" of the future.

A belated welcome to the booktube community! 😊

I’m like you-it’s just so hard to choose favorites, mainly because I read SO MUCH. That said, if you flat-out asked me for one favorite, it would be Mercedes Lackey.

Seanan McGuire is a favorite author for me, but for different books than the ones you like. 😄 I read the first 2 or 3 Wayward Children books because I’d read other stuff by her but just couldn’t get into them. Her Incryptid series, on the other hand, is one of my all-time favorites. And I’ve enjoyed the October Daye series as well.

This was really fun to watch! I had the same idea about Agatha Christie and what her books would be like so I'm very curious about trying out her books. Would you have a suggestion of good books to start with by her? Also I would LOVE a video on children's book authors you love! I have a 2 and a 4 year old and I usually don't have time to really check out the books I'm buying while shopping with/wrangling them, haha

Love this video! Just subscribed!! Making book videos myself so love the inspo!! ❤️

Could you help me with the same business plan? Also, great video!

I’m just now reading The Kaiju Preservation Society, halfway through, and I just realised that I see the protagonist Jamie as a woman. Maybe I missed something in the beginning of the story, but now I can’t change how I see her… him… you know what I mean 😂 Definitely having a blast reading it!

I have a feeling I also learned your toilet paper roll update…

Thank you for sharing this Tara! 💕 I also go through ups and downs with anxiety and depression. I haven’t thought about what we use to escape before aside from the obvious like social media.. I actually think listening to podcasts is mine. I sometimes have them going for an entire day, and listen most days for at least a couple hours (since like 2013). I can see that it’s in part because I don’t want to let my mind spin (I also love learning about business, it’s def a mix of reasons!). It’s a fine line between whether it’s making you feel inspired or more exhausted. Interesting to think about. Sending a hug! 💖

I haven’t read any of these. I just put a hold request on the first one on Libby so I can give it a try.

oo heard good things about this author

Tara, I'm so glad you're getting back to reading the Inspector Gamache series! I've been reading them in order for awhile and am now in the middle of The Great Reckoning #12. They're so well written, with wonderful character development, intricate plots, and surprising elements as the human condition is explored throughout solving murders.

I just read Abandoned in Death (the most recent in the series) this morning! I started reading them back when there were only…3? or so books, and I like them a lot. I’ve really enjoyed the development of different characters (and addition of new ones) over time. I did a reread of the entire 50+ books last year when my brain wasn’t up to reading new books.

I've read the entire In Death series. It's one of my favourites. I have the shirt of the Anne of Green Gables book too! The fabric is so pretty!

I always appreciate you sharing your journey over the years of following you. I think our life is like a Starship. No matter what your goals/activities are we are always exploring, learning, and growing. And even when we re-visit the same places (like our experience of depression) it might feel the same but we are exploring and learning new and deeper ways to cope and thrive. You’ve got this, it’s hard but you aren’t alone. I also used books as my coping throughout my life. It’s very disassociated feeling. Maybe check out Kati Morton’s videos about disassociation and maladaptive daydreaming. It really describes my experience of maladaptive reading, and I appreciate her suggestions. I’m constantly trying to find the balance between reading for fun/learning and for escape. I’ve also heard great things about Better Health. I haven’t tried it myself but it sounds flexible and helpful in finding the right fit and being online will give you more options for possible providers.
