Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings
By Maria DeBlassie

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings is my first book by Maria DeBlassie. To be honest I was not sure what to expect and I am also not sure this book was for me.
On saying that this review will be on the writing style of the author. What we have here is reflections on the magic that can be found in life. This book has been written in such a way that in most cases you feel part of the story. I did find that in some parts of the book it did have me thinking that we need to take time for ourselves. While I was not totally into this book there will be those of you out there that will absolutely love this book.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie is a collection of Essays that were created on a blog. I have never read any of her blog posts before but I enjoyed this book and would definitely read any other thoughts she decided to write down. It’s different then reading a book for sure but it was still quite fun and entertaining. It is a very descriptive look at the author’s life. I would rate 4 stars!

This book is a breakaway from my normal genre. I really like that while it’s a ‘book’ it doesn’t necessarily have to be read cover to cover. You can use this as a daily inspirational/meditative guide to remember that life is short so look for the good in everyday, because it really is there. Each short daily entry is very well written with incredible imagery. It captured all 5 senses and I felt like I was right there with her during each daily entry. Well done. 4 stars.

Everyday Enchantments by Maria DeBlassie a four-star read that will leave you musing. This wasn’t what I was expecting when I picked it up, it’s a collection of writings, some better than others, but I am sure you ill find some that will call to you in them. There are musings on many subjects in this and you will be sure to find some that will appeal.

This isn’t a story but instead short individual thoughts and well…musings, like the title indicates. DeBlassie helps you take a different look at the world around you. At the world you live in. A way to look at life that you might not have looked at before. Sometimes the musings were as simple as cooking breakfast but then lead to a deeper feeling of better health, maybe even an awakening after a bout of depression. A feeling of being in a rut but then climbing out of that rut.

Each musing is a little different. With titles like “Let Me Be”, “Cruising to Work”, and “Confessions of a Flower Eater”, you never really know what you’re going to get.

I recommend this book if you are looking for “everyday enchantments”.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie is a four star novel. When I first started this book, I had no clue what it was going to be about. I hate reading the descriptions of books for fear of disappointment so I survive and choose books based on covers, friends telling me about it or a book blog recommendation. That is how I happened upon this book. I did not expect to be tasked on a journey through the author’s life and how she could find happiness in everything she was doing. Magic, or belief, helps us to move through life with good intentions and good spirits. I liked how the author was able to find joy and happiness in nearly everything she came into contact with.

by Maria F. DeBlassie

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading this book, but I found it to be original, enriching, and fulfilling. This book makes every day life better, I found myself going back and reading passages that spoke to me on a deeper level. I feel like my review can’t really do this book justice because it reaches your soul in ways that are hard to explain. This book is very rich in detail and It changed the way I see everyday mundane things for the better. This is truly a gem. I highly recommend this book.

This is so so different than any other book ive read, but in a great way. Its filled with short story type or blog style stories. Its all about finding the magic or the positives in everyday life, that I admit find hard to do some days.
I had to read this after my kids went to bed as I needed quiet, which is a first for me while reading. It was very relaxing and I really wanted to be able to picture or feel what i was reading in a different way than I was used to.
Will be looking forward to more from this author.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie is a book that is absolutely nothing like any other book I’ve ever read. I honestly never knew that books like this existed. I had never read any of this author’s work but the book came highly recommended, so I decided to give it a go.
Everyday Enchantments is a series of short essays which cover just about any and every subject possible and shows how you can find the magic in them if you look hard enough, even including very mundane things like cooking. It makes you evaluate your life and see that there is much more to it than you previously thought. You see some things very differently.
This wasn’t a book that I could read for long spells at a time. For me, I liked to ‘dip in’ for little bursts, reading a couple of essays at a time. I found that I got more out of the essays that way.
As I said, this book is totally different to anything I’ve ever read so if you are looking for something that little (or big) bit different then you should give this book a read.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjuring by Maria DeBlassie. This is a new to me author, I enjoyed this book. It was out of my usual genre. I pretty much went into this book blind. I will say that I did enjoy it. It was definitely different but sometimes different is good, as I learned while reading this book.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maria DeBlassie’s Everyday Enchantments is a collection of short reflections on the magic of everyday life. DeBlassie’s writing is wonderfully descriptive – I could often taste and smell what I was reading!
At times I found stylistic inconsistencies a bit jarring. Although most of the book was written in second person, immersing the reader in the scenes described, there were occasional passages in first person and a couple in third. This could be a hangover from the blog posts that inspired this book, but editing could have produced a more consistent, flowing style.
This is a good book for dipping in and out of, although it can also be read cover-to-cover. The reflections remind the reader to appreciate the world around them and make time to look after themselves. It’s an inspiring, comforting read!
For me, this is a three-star book. I enjoyed the descriptive detail in many of the passages but overall found the style a little odd. The second-person narrative would work better if the book was less focused on the author’s personal experiences – whilst there were some that were relatable, the vast majority at least included aspects that I had little or no experience of. A first-person narrative might have been more appropriate.
I would recommend this to readers interested in magic and how it relates to everyday life. If you’re not sure whether or not to get this book, why not start by reading DeBlassie’s blog to get a taste of her style!

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic and Daily Conjuring’s by Maria DeBlassie was a unique read. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I do not normally read non fiction but this was a refreshing read. I enjoyed getting a look into the authors mind and so many of the short stories felt right at home with me. I felt a sense of calm wash over me when I started reading. It made me want to focus on myself and my internal thoughts versus just running through the everyday tasks of life.

This was a completely different read something I wouldn’t usually pick up but I’m glad I did I really enjoyed every second of this book. I was able to sit back with a nice cuppa and indulge in this novel I was just glued to it, it’s not a very long read but it still had a captivating storyline one that will keep your interest throughout. This novel is just such an unique read it certainly isn’t something I’ve read before and it isn’t for everyone but from my opinion I would still give it go you never know you may love something different!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It is a collection of short essays about everyday things that occur in our lives and how we miss how magical and unique these experiences are.

Maria DeBlassie has put together a book of essays and the style of writing and the descriptions of the things that are experienced really makes you stop and look closer at all the little things you would miss in everyday life.

Its a great book for someone who would like to relax and look closer at what their lives hold apart from all the stress and work we all have to deal with.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie took me longer to read than expected, not because I didn’t enjoy it but because reading it seemed to bring a calming peace and I found myself wanting to nap while also making me think about what she was saying.

I don’t know which of the musings I liked the best, I enjoyed them all but I did like the reference to crocheting since that is something I do. It made me see it in a bit of a different light.

This is not the book to read if you’re in a hurry or looking for a quick read. This is a book to read at your own pace and savor each word and thought.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she blew me away. I have not read a spiritual book in a long time. This book gave me peace about life. When I started this book I could not put it down. The writing style made you feel like she was talking to you personally. It only took me a couple of hours to devour this incredible book.

This book is short stories that the author documented for a full year. She walks you through all kinds of different spiritual ideas and things to look for. This book will make you feel good and special. This author will have you thinking about your life and the decisions that you make. I’m so happy that I read this book. I can’t wait to see what this talented author will write about next.

Everyday Enchantments is a love letter to the magic of everyday life, the sweet moments and the profound that we often overlook in our hurry to get from one place to the next.

This novel is a short collection of essays that really make the reader see life in a different perspective. It helped me to see beauty in the average daily thing such as cutting an onion. I really found the authors work fascinating. I felt very relaxed and mellowed out while reading this book. It was great to really step back from life with this book.

This is a very unique book and a very refreshing author. This is my first time reading this author and I have to say that I found this book to be quite interesting. The whole concept of magic in everything is just so refreshing. I really found myself getting caught up in the creative world the author was creating. I found that it really made me look at life and see just how magical it really is.

There is just so much going on in this book that you really need to just get lost in it. The author
brings so much creativeness to this book. You can easily get lost in the ramblings of this book. It
was such a unique book and I am so glad that I was able to read it. This is like a trip down a road less traveled and everyone should read a book like this at least once if not again and again I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings By Maria F. DeBlassie. I think we could all benefit from enjoying life’s small things and that’s what I took away from this book. This isn’t my usual read but I’m really glad I took a chance because by the end I had a bit of a different look on life. This book is filled with thought provoking experience and I love the writing style. There’s many of lessons that could be learned from this book. There’s emotion written in that readers can feel. While this is a more thought provoking book it’s a very relaxing book to read. The perfect book for a Sunday afternoon, cozy chair and hot cocoa. I’m giving this wonderful book a five star review and highly recommend it to anyone no matter what your reading likes are.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria F DeBlassie was a different interesting read, that was very soothing, and at times almost had me asleep.. in a good way.

This isn’t your normal style book. It’s a collection of sorts, with no real direction. Just soothing emotions, calming situations and a insightful look into the world around us. It did take a bit to get use to the style of this journal like writing, but once I found my stride I was pulled into each new enchantment and let myself see the way the author does, and it was a bit of a wonder. A little weird, but a wonder.

Having the room quiet, and reading such words, I was in such a relaxed stated that my eyes felt heavy. I’m sure if I had any light music or a warm blanket I would have dozed off. I know, falling asleep while reading. But I have to tell you, this was a good thing, because this book puts you in that state of mind. In saying that, if you need a good bedtime read, this book will get you to a place where your mind is calm and relaxed.

I think this might be a re-read book, when my mind won’t shut down, and for that I thank the author for putting such words on paper.

With that said I give this book my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

I chose to read Everyday Enchantments because I was looking for a little magic in my life. Everyday Enchantments by Maria F. DeBlassie is a collection of stories like Chicken Soup for the Soul books. However, I enjoyed reading Everyday Enchantments over any Chicken Soul book. There is magic all around us, we just need to open our eyes to look for it. I did not rush through this book to find an action pack, fist thumping, or a cliffhanger book, but instead I found a story to lift your spirits through the little stories. It is a difficult world that we are in and the little things are often missed. This is a book to remind you to stop and notice the little things again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a different take on the ‘self-help’ novel approach. I found it to be quite meditative. Everyday Enchantments encourages the reader to take our simplest of mundane tasks, the ones that often drag us through the dirt the most, and teaches one to find the pleasures in it. Simply stopping and smelling the roses a bit more. Too often we get swept up in life. We wake up, do the chores, get the kids to school, work, pay the bills, do more chores, put the kids to bed, wash rinse repeat. Marie DeBlassie encourages us in Everyday Enchantments to find that joy in the small things once again. Whether it be reading our favorite books, or finding a new one, cooking something yummy, walks in the rain after dark, the possibilities are endless. The idea is we need to find time to find the magic in our lives. It is always there we just ignore it. Normally non-fictional books aren’t a strong read for me or much above a three star rating but this one I would give a solid four stars.

This is not something I would normally read but am so glad I did, it was awesome, and even though it’s not my normal choice of reading it was definitely interesting and had me walking away from it thinking more about things that happen in my everyday life…How even though I try not to I absolutely take so many things for granted. It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life and because of some of the stories in this book I will be looking at things a little differently from this point on.

The writing in this book was beautiful and flowed smoothly, it was nice for a change to not have an ongoing story that doesnt give me time to break. I will definitely be checking out more from this author.

Awesome
