Derek Laufman has a new fan

The Witch of Wickerson by Derek Laufman

March 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

   CBR15Passport, New Author  The Witch of Wickerson by Derek Laufman is a fantastic book with amazing illustrations and a clever story. I could see a series and/or a movie or animated series adapted from it. While it has twists and turns, and can be dark, it is a slightly easier and less intense than Redwall. The adventures are based in fantasy elements (a mouse wearing clothes, talking animals, a witch) can be intense for young or sensitive readers. And there is the kidnapping of the […]

Hex the Patriarchy

VenCo: A Novel by By Cherie Dimaline

February 28, 2023 by finnyfinfinn 5 Comments

I will automatically read any books about witches or libraries, my two weaknesses. If I ever found a book about a witch library I would probably explode. VenCo fortunately is not that book. Within the first few pages we are greeted by the leaders of the North American covens (CoVen=VenCo). A tattooed Maiden, a Mother with her pit bull, and a Crone dressed in Chanel walk into a meeting hoping to change the world. From here I was hooked and I hadn’t even met the […]

Halloweentown Gets Sexy

The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

February 26, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I don’t typically like romance unless it’s got some other genre along to help build story and character; just the relationship parts gets kind of one note. I picked up The Ex Hex and it’s got enough magic going wrong that it works with the relationship. What I don’t quite get is why/how putting a Welsh magic town in the North Georgia mountains is even slightly believable. I know this is both romance and magic, so it’s not exactly realism forward, btu that’s going too […]

The Witch and the Boy

Witch of Mine Vol 1 Autumn Song by Haeyoon

February 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Oh, that Witch of Mine! The things she knows, does, and teaches us and the characters of the first volume of the Haeyoon and Mas manga graphic novel. You learn she is a witch, do not know she is the sister of the scape goat of the village (until later, then in the “all witches are sisters” way), pretends she is the mother of a younger boy and her familiar (a girl child in their cat-human form), and later she becomes the lover of that […]

Give me all the cozy fantasy you have.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

December 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Such a cozy, heartwarming read. I’m so glad I read this, and that I saved it for my Christmas read (even though I barely got any reading done at all on Christmas Eve or Day, because I somehow always forget that my mother does not read and needs to be entertained—anyway we spent all day doing a 1,000 piece Christmas puzzle and then watched Glass Onion, and it was all very good but I wish I could have read more of this book). If you […]

Payback's a Witch

Can I live in Thistle Grove?

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

Lana Harper’s Payback’s a Witch introduces us to the magical small town of Thistle Grove. Four families of witches founded the place. They compete in The Gauntlet every few years. The winning family is bestowed with good fortune. The wealthy and pretentious Blackmoore family has won for decades. The Arbiter of the competition is the Harlow family. Emmy Harlow left town after high school and never wanted to come back. Her breakup with Gareth Blackmoore soured her on the place. She also was sick of […]
