Welcome to Litsy!

At the beginning, the storyline felt like a PBS period drama with witches (which would have been my cup of tea, indeed)…but the back half got derailed by increasingly awkward and convoluted plot points. It did provide ample #scarathlon word search points, however.

Made a trip to the library today. Picked up these two books. I also went to The Last Chapter bookstore downtown while I was out. I picked up 4 used books and had them pre-order the next Murderbot book which comes out Nov. 14th

Hopefully I can finish tonight

Perfection. That‘s the word I would use to describe this book, I was drawn into this historical setting from the first page. Strong female characters, magic, apothecaries and family bonds with beautifully descriptive writing gave me everything I wanted and more
5 ⭐️

Finished my #bookspin book!

I enjoyed this one and will be checking out the series. I‘d say this would be good for anyone who was a fan of the Practical Magic prequels

Getting in to my #bookspin book this month and had to share this quote that rings so true

I‘m really enjoying this novel by Louisa Morgan,The Age of Witches here at the beach… kissing the end of summer good bye … #summerreads #beachreads #witchbooks

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Age of Witches". I thought the author had a strong storyline and did a great job handling all the details of each story.

📚: This is a book about the self-determination that lives within women and the powers, albeit sometimes hidden, that bind them together. 😊: I liked the feminist overtones, discussions of herbalism, & it‘s Gilded Age setting. 😑: I didn‘t like that the writing drags at the end & reliance on some tiresome fairytale tropes. 📣: I recommend this book for fans of Alice Hoffman (the ✍️ is not as good), stories about witches, & tales of strong women.

It‘s a great evening for some tea and a book. ❤️

"She was a witch, and she thought the word was a marvelous one, with connotations of knowledge and power and independence."

Absolutely loved it!!!

This was the first time I‘ve read this author and I shall be on the lookout for her back list. Set during the Gilded Age this is a story of family, power, and witchcraft. A great fictional escape.

Happy Pub. Day 🤗

I enjoyed the family rivalry, with the 2 lines of magic. The writing was really well done, the characters were interesting and the story was paced nicely. Thanks to Netgalley for ARC.

Probably between a pick and so-so for me, but I did generally like it, so I‘m rounding up! This historical fantasy novel involves the descendants of one witch as their magical differences come to a head over the treatment of Annis. Told in multiple perspectives, there are no real surprises or twists, but it‘s a pleasant read and an entertaining escape. Thanks, #NetGalley!

4/5🌟A generational tale filled with magic!
What a beautifully crafted story this is! Morgan expertly balances world building with character development. The female characters were strong and interesting. I dont usually enjoy a lot of romance but there was just enough here without being too much for me. This is out April 7th and it was the perfect read to get me out of our current reality. #bookreview #bookstagram #magicalreads

Read my review of a brand new paranormal fantasy novel The Age of Witches by Louisa Morgan due this April.
A story of witches and their conflicting wills and intentions. How far will they go to win and how much are they willing to lose?

I thought this was great. It's fun. It's a historical novel with witches. How do you beat that?
