After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Great for first-time gardeners
I’ve wanted to grow my own vegetables. This book made things simple by explaining which plants grow best together and why. I liked that it includes tips for small spaces since I don’t have a big yard. The step-by-step instructions helped me feel more confident, and I’ve already started planning my first garden. Wish me luck!

Inspired to Get Out and Garden!
The summer before I went off to high school, my father made me a deal: If I would weed and cultivate our big family garden, he would pay me for the produce. It was the best summer job I ever had -- not easy, but deeply rewarding. During that three months, a love for the soil took root in my soul.
It lay dormant for many years until my mid-50s when I dug up a sunny corner of my yard and gardened again. I didn't test the soil or count the hours of sunshine -- I just planted what appealed to my appetites. My harvests were irregular and unpredictable, as you would expect. But I enjoyed the same therapeutic feel of dirt between my fingers and the sharp fragrance of freshly pinched tomato suckers.
And then we moved to a home with luxurious grass and sculpted flower beds, but no garden. My inner gardener hibernated, patient, waiting for the conditions to change.
When we took down a birch tree in 2023, we suddenly had a wide swath of flower bed available. I dug up some of the roots, dumped in some potting soil, and planted a few tomatoes and kale. They exploded! I did the same in 2024 and added two hills of zucchini and summer squash. I probably would have repeated the process this spring.
But then I read Companion Planting for Beginners, and now I'm seeing my backyard flower bed with new eyes. There is tremendous, untapped potential back there! Inspired by this beautifully written and information-packed book, I have bought a soil testing kit. I am perusing the seed catalog, deciding whether to start my plants from seeds instead of buying them at the farmers' market. I am getting ready to rip out the rest of the birch tree roots to make room for beets, radishes, beans, eggplants, and more. I'm excited to steer clear of herbicides and harness the synergies of companion planting. And perhaps most important, I'm anticipating restful Sunday afternoons with my hands in the dirt, sun on my arms, and the delicious sights and smells of living things all around.
The joy and wonder that Gardener Sage derives from his garden infuses every page of this book. Listen soon to Companion Planting for Beginners -- spring planting season is just around the corner!

Great for New Gardeners!
I’ve always wanted to try gardening, but I had no idea which plants worked well together. This book explained everything in a way that actually made sense. I learned how to naturally keep pests away and improve my soil without using chemicals, which was really important to me. I’ve already started planning my next planting season using these tips. If you’re new to gardening and want healthier plants without the guesswork, this is a great place to start!

Inspirational, Literary and Practical All in One!
Most gardening books are very dry reading but right from the first paragraph of the introduction, ("Imagine your garden - greens of every hue stretch out, punctuated by blush red tomatoes...") this book is a pleasure and inspiration to read. It is full of metaphor ("Think of it as choosing who to sit next to in a busy cafe") and alliteration ("Worms wiggle... making tiny tunnels"). In addition to being a delight to read, this book is packed with practical information presented in an easy to understand format. It includes chapters on all the individual steps of preparing the soil, planning and planting your garden and harvesting. The many charts, lists and photographs aid initial understanding and make later reference easy. Each chapter has a "Key Takeaway" to sum up what was covered. This book is designed to make beginning gardeners successful but experienced gardeners will enjoy reading it too because it is so well written.

Worth a listen
I picked up this audiobook because I’ve been trying to get a little backyard garden going for the past year, and let’s just say my tomatoes last summer were more of a bug buffet than a harvest. I’m no expert—honestly, I barely know a trowel from a shovel—but this guide made me feel like I could actually figure it out.
What hit home for me was how they explained using marigolds to keep pests off my veggies. I tried it after listening, planting some near my zucchini, and I swear I saw fewer of those creepy little beetles this time around. The part about soil health clicked too. I started mixing in some compost like they suggested, and my plants look perkier already. It’s not preachy or overly technical; it’s just practical stuff I could use without feeling judged for being a newbie. If you’re like me and want to grow your own food without losing it all to bugs or bad dirt, this one’s worth a listen.
