I loved this book! So beautifully illustrated I could have spent hours just looking at the images.
This new age, moon work book easily guides you through each monthly moon phase, showing the reader how to live a spiritual life. It demonstrates what powers/energies can be drawn and provides opportunity for goal setting and mindful living.

Thank you to Netgally and Quarto Publishing Group-Rock Point for the opportunity to read this advanced digital copy

Full of interesting information about the moon and it's cycles, Living Lunarly also shows how you can harness the power of self-care in conjunction with the moons annual cycle. Included are mindfulness exercises, gratitude practices, yoga exercises, journaling and intention setting exercises amongst others. Kiki Ely draws from all different areas of spirituality, psychology and beliefs to create a unique amalgamation of self-care acts for a wholistic approach to health and connection in a positive and gentle way.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Not able to read as I downloaded it to my computer but it was not compatible - by the time I found the email address for my kindle the book had been archived.

Thank you to Kiki Ely, Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point, Rock Point, and Netgalley for a free copy of Living Lunarly: Moon-Based Self-Care for Your Mind, Body, and Soul for an honest review.

I madly loved this book from flipping into the first page, and I wanted to own a copy before I'd flipped even ten pages through. This is wonderfully broken down by each of the moons, then the phases of each of the moons within it, and there are specific spells, rituals, and focuses already aligned to each of these. I suggest this to anyone and everyone who is on a path following the lunar cycles. You will get so much out this book!!!

I can't wait for publication, so I can get myself one (to work through all the year with) and several gift copies!

This is a beautiful book filled with a plethora of interesting facts! From information on the yearly full moons to the phases of the moon to intention settings for each new moon and how to harness the power of the lunar cycle. The book is divided into specific full moon, monthly chapters. Within each chapter the other phases of the moon are addressed as well as respective plants, self care, journaling, meditation, breath-work and crystals for each phase of that month’s moon. This is an easy to read, and easy to use book. Definitely worth having in your personal library.

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Recently, I've been doing a lot of studies around moon cycles and how they relate to the menstrual cycle. So l was a little surprised to see that this book wasn't about that. However, the surprise was pleasant. Living Lunarly, is almost a workbook filled with journal prompts, activities, and fun facts. I loved how easy to read it was and the focus on naturally flowing through states of being during different parts of the year. This made the subject matter very approachable and something I wouldn’t feel awkward sharing with less spiritual friends/ family members.

Living Lunarly is a month by month guide of the moons and what you can do to make use of each phase and their energies. This would be perfect for beginners. A year of doing this would definitely get you into the swing of things!

The artwork is STUNNING. I want prints of everything. Absolutely beautiful. I loved the month by month format, it's extremely easy to follow and understand. There's a good mix of things to do, rituals, more simple things and also visualisations. These in particular were very good. There's also a lot of cute projects, especially with plants which I also enjoyed.

However, there were a few weird social things, such as writing a letter and actually sending it, that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing, but I think you could try and adapt those if you feel the same. It also was a bit repetitive, BUT I read it all in one go, so I wouldn't really recommend that. I would just obviously read the introduction then skim all the moons and go month by month.

My favourite quote: "you will find yourself howling at the moon..and you will likely find her howling back. " 🌙 🐺

I will be buying a physical copy of this book and I do recommend it!

This book is so aesthetically pleasing, and I love how each moon is set out over the year.
I feel like it's a good starting point to setting intentions and mindfulness through the months!
It would be a lovely gift for someone interested in self-care and holistic health.

Surprisingly informative, with detailed exercises of intent and affirmation for every moon phase. The author pulls from all sorts of sources from First People to Hinduism straight on to more modern forms of self care and wellness. There is a lot to sift through and even if you don't get on with everything it's possible to cherrypick what works best for your needs.

This book was actually a very quick read, the graphics and information put into small chunks so it's easier to read. There's also an exercise for every month which I highly appreciate.

Majority of the stuff is stuff I know or do already but I would say this is a nice little book for beginners and isn't too stand offish.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for letting me review this

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

This book is definitely beautiful! I love the artwork and illustrations. I think the illustrations make the book.
The information included felt a little formulaic and repetitive. I have read a few books on this topic, and I didn't really learn anything new from this book.
However, what I did like was that it focussed on the different type of moons - blue moon, wolf moon, strawberry moon etc rather than just the different stage of the moon (waxing, full, waning etc.) This was a interesting take on the information. But it did just feel repetitive.
The artwork is the main reason I enjoyed the book as the information included was the same-old-same-old.
