Welcome to /o/Books!
This circle is for discussing books of any kind, regardless of genre or subject. Share a book you’ve recently read, request recommendations, post articles about books or authors, share photos of your bookshelves.
Our goal is to encourage reading books of all kinds, and to be a place for open and civil discussion about any book or author. Whether you read occasionally or every day, whatever your reading tastes and opinions, we hope you will join in and support other members.
Use the appropriate flair (post and add afterwards) and use the NSFW option if applicable. No books are prohibited here, but please be mindful of the Ovarit Sitewide Rules when discussing challenging or controversial content.
If your post reveals details of the plot of a recently published book, consider adding “Spoilers” to the subject and in your post. Spoilers aren’t required for older books or very well-known by most people.
If you want to discuss feminist books, please visit /o/FeministBooks.

This post links to a podcast interview led by Meghan Murphy with Jungian psychologist Lisa Marchiano. I was only able to access an excerpt of the interview the other day, but I guess she is releasing the full recording, so here it is! Blurb on MM's page copy-pasted below:
What do women lose in rejecting their heart’s desire in exchange for “appropriate” femininity? Is passivity, accommodation, and nurturing really all we have to offer? And if so, why does that make so many women feel resentful or unfulfilled?
Yes, some aspects of femininity are part of our evolution, but is that the whole story?
Lisa Marchiano offers that “within every woman lies a powerful force: a vibrant, sizzling spirit that lives life to the fullest,” and that, for many, “the burdens of responsibility, caretaking, and social expectations cause us to bury this essential part of ourselves under six feet of niceness.”
How can women find their true selves and stop pushing aside their heart’s desire?
Lisa Marchiano is a Jungian analyst, writer, and host of This Jungian Life. Her new book is The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire. I spoke with her about why women need to seek out and nurture our outlaw energies (and how to do that).
