I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts


I couldn't resist. Much like I couldn't resist ordering a book called Tantric Coconuts. As much as I do my best to not choose books based off of the covers, I absolutely choose them based on titles. And typically it works out okay.

Coconuts! Also yarn, because I'm actually an old lady
Finding a little brown package on my doorstep is always exciting. Remembering that it has a book inside, even more exciting. Accidentally setting my oven on fire while reading my new book, pushes past exciting and towards terrifying.
Look at that cute little fire extinguisher 
 Despite filling my entire house with smoke, using a fire extinguisher and discovering that our smoke detectors don't have batteries, I still managed to finish half of this book in one night. Because its awesome. After airing out my house and scrubbing the inside of my oven, I snuggled back down with a well deserved pumpkin beer (s/o to Blue Moon, you did fall right) with Tantric Coconuts. Because its awesome. As of writing this, I'm only halfway through. Because I had to go to bed. Because I'm an adult, sort of.

Delicious reward for not burning down my house
Several days later... my house is still standing and the second half of this book reads more like a crash course in every religion ever. If you're looking for a fun way to understand different religions and spirituality, this is a great read. It's not at all what I was expecting, but was silly and thoughtful at the same time. The story follows Ted, an awkward lawyer, on a cross country adventure to figure out where is stands spiritually. Angel Two Sparrows teaches him about religion in a crash course, and thus teaches the reader about religions, in a crash course. Not what I was expecting, but definitely educational, and fun. This book, I like it, another!
