“You deserve more than what you’re allowing yourself to have.”

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

CBR14Bingo – Cozy: It’s just so adorable and comfy and chockfull of found family feels and tea! I’ve read several of this author’s YA releases, so when I heard she was coming out with an adult romance – and then saw THAT COVER – I was desperate to read it. Add in a slow burn grumpy/sunshine romance? Pure comfort. It’s the book equivalent of sitting by a crackling fire with a hot drink on a rainy day, all warm and cozy under a blanket with […]

The power of story

Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett

by 2 Comments

I am going through a stressful time work wise and personal life, so have retreated to books i know i enjoy. I have certainly read this in the past, but it has probably been a decade.  In recent years i have been more interested in other strands of the Discworld than the witches. This is the second book in the witches line, or the third if you incorporate Granny Weatherwax in Equal Rites. It takes the three witches of Wyrd Sisters and mixes in stories […]

An unintentional Mercy Thompson reading binge.

Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs

CBR Bingo: Series I usually take my time with my urban fantasy series. I like to savor them and read a few worlds at a time. To not let the reviews pile up (again), I usually read one or two books in a row. Not this go round. I’ve read five in a row for the OG Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I’ve also fallen in love with the first three books in the spin-off Alpha & Omega series. Once I got going, it […]

One Turnip Child to go please

Alcatoe and the Turnip Child by Isaac Lenkiewicz

by Leave a Comment

I do not know who Alcatoe is in Alcatoe and the Turnip Child, but I do know this book by Isaac Lenkiewicz is a silly folktale with a few odd twists and turns. Okay, that is not totally true, Alcatoe is a grumpy old witch (they came to magic late in life at age 54), who does not fit in. They do not like the other witches, think the kids of the story are annoying and wants to cause trouble wherever they go. The story […]

A witch and a witch-hunter, sitting in a tree . . .

Boss Witch (Fix-It Witches, #2) by Ann Aguirre

by 2 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 21/30 Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audio ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I liked this better than the first one! By quite a bit. The romance was very nice. I liked both Clem and Gavin, and thought they had lovely chemistry. The book really took off though when the non-romantic plot got going. I’m glad to say that the fact that Gavin is a witch hunter is not wasted, at […]

Witchy Woman

Magic Lessons by Alice Hoffman

by Leave a Comment

This is a prequel to the better known Practical Magic, which I have not yet read.  I am knocking a star off the rating, because it has that slight awkwardness of having to back into a previous opening, by their very nature, an issue with prequels.  The prequel trilogy of Star Wars is a classic example.  But it did make me want to read the original, so mission accomplished, I guess. Magic Lessons covers three generations of a family of witches and their allies.  Their […]
