The Ex Hex: A Novel | 
pickI loved this book! The vibe is small town obsessed with Halloween and I am living for it! Some wonderfully spooky elements but overall, a charming romance. It would‘ve been a 5 star read had it had a touch more depth. It‘s light and fluffy. Definitely a feel-good read. #mystery #halloween #witches #romance
pickIt's been a while since I read through a book this quickly. This was seriously such a fun book. At one point I laughed so hard, I scared one of my cats. 🤣 I'm looking forward to the next book.
Started this book last night. Enjoying it so far.
pickI loved this read. I was laughing out loud in parts and am so glad I picked up this cozy witchy romance. Thoroughly enjoyed every chapter.
so-soTwo romances (both witchy) read in one month is highly unusual for me. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-ex-hex
#BookReport
Managed to finish something this week despite working twelve days in a row and probably working like 60 hours in five of those. Also still have plugging away at my book club pick.
#WeeklyForecast
Goal is to finish Daughter of the Forest and a chunk of Watership Down. Fingers crossed that now it‘s slower at work I‘ll actually be able to do it.
pickCute and light which was just what I needed after a tough week. Definite fall vibes but I miss fall and am dreading summer so it was a nice escape.
pickThis book is adorable. Witches exist in this book, and a girl curses her ex, not realizing it will actually work and curse her whole town, too. Now she has to partner with said ex to try and save the town from disaster. Very cute, Halloween themed romantic comedy.
pickA charming romance novel about witches. Vivi realizes she may have accidentally cursed her ex when he returns to town 9 years later and they have to work together to save the small Georgia town that is her home and his family namesake.
pickKind of like Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic!
Huge fun with a great ‘sister‘ relationship (technically cousins), a fantastic and very cool aunt, a cat with attitude and curses!
Easy reading romcom
Amazing AMAZING package, thank you!! And ooooh you have no idea how bad I wanted The Ex Hex!!! I pushed my coffee for this month aside to have this coffee, cannot wait to try it in the morning. My 7 year old literally faught me over the pen (she won the battle but I will win the war!) and note there are eggs missing already (I hid them WAY up high, winning the war and all). Thank you!!!! #coffeebeanbookclub
panFell asleep before I could upload this pic of girls‘ night.
This book is as sweet as candy corn and twice as corny. A peppy Halloween read for sure — but the thrilling bits feel rushed to fit in the romantic ones. #romance #bookofthemonth #halloween #
pickThis was a fun, flirty, magical rom com. Not a ton of substance but very enjoyable.
so-soThis book was really just meh. It seemed to be a lot of buildup for little reward, which was a bit disappointing. I loved the author‘s voice, and the character interactions, and I hope Sterling writes more for Grave‘s Glen.

pickThis book was a quick read filled with magic, love and some steamy scenes. If you enjoy rom-com like reads, you‘ll definitely enjoy this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#catsoflitsy
pickThis one is best read in a spooky mood and with a fun open mind. If you like a little witchy mystery and heavy petting, you‘ll adore this book. Was it a little silly? Of course, but was it a lot of fun? Absolutely. I‘ve heard it may have a second book around characters already introduced and I can‘t wait.
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very cute romance that I thoroughly enjoyed.! I wish I'd been able to get to this last Halloween, but better late than never. 🤗
so-soThis was a bit lukewarm. Had so much potential and some bits were ok, but generally… it was kinda cheesy and while I don‘t wanna judge anyone, the main characters feelings just didn‘t make sense to me, they were inexplicably all over the place. I prob overhyped it bc it had been on my library hold for a long time. At least it was short and easy, so no harm done 🤷🏽♀️
A little out of season but this is my snow day reading! It‘s been cold here so other than a quick outside walk around to see the snow and clean off my car, I‘ve been inside. No complaints from my cat. #catsoflitsy
...“The kind of day that made one want to take up painting or maybe develop some kind of poetry habit.“ --Erin Sterling “The Ex Hex“
pickImagine a Christmas Hallmark movie but with Halloween. It definitely had more 🌶 than I expected but I'm not complaining. I only wish the end had a little more story, it seemed rushed and missing some of the conflict that the rest of the story carried.
I wish I had read this is in the fall but 🤷🏼♀️ library holds come in when they come in.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
so-soRomance isn‘t my most favorite genre but this sounded like fun and good break between all the horror books for the month of October.
It was cute but the pacing seemed a little off to me and there wasn‘t much substance. The ending felt super rushed compared to the rest of the book too. Overall just a so-so.
December 2021 #bookreport and last one of the year! :)

Kicking off my #NewYearSpecial #20in4 #readathon a bit late for me by I may just go by EST instead like most of you guys. My goals are:
📚Read 3 books
⏱Read for 30hrs
🎧Read different formats
🎉End 2021 with a bang not a whimper!🤞
Starting with The Ex Hex to lighten up the mood hopefully. Here‘s to an end to a pretty dreadful year & to the start of a better one🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️
pickMy New Year goal is to try and read more! And The Ex Hex was the perfect start to that! (Okay, I understand it's not the end of the year yet...but we're counting this one)
This short but sweet rom-com had me hooked, I'm a sucker for Witchy themes too, so an absolute bonus! Although, I definitely wasn't expecting so much...spice 😅
All in all, a great read! ✨

pan2 STARS - this was a big miss for me. I liked the Hallowe'en vibe and magical locale, but the story lacked substance and failed to deliver on its premise with a predictable ho-hum romance (even with the spicy Hail Mary), not enough humour or magic. It didn't live up to its hype.

Thank you so much Sam for this awesome notepad 🐈⬛ and for this book 📚 🖤 I can‘t wait to read it!! You are the sweetest 💞 thank you for your friendship ❤️ love you 🤗
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

pickThis was a fun, witchy romance. I enjoyed the contemporary take on witchcraft/magic, it did actually feel unique. The romance had plenty of spice, but I think I would have been more invested in their second-chance plot if there had been a prologue or something showing them falling in love the first time at 19, rather than just being told about it. I will definitely check out future entries, as it seems like this is going to be a series.
For those of you who don‘t know- the two times that everyone with a criminal record looses their sh** are summer and Christmas 😂
Thank you so much my overly generous friend @Avanders for this box of joy. For the above mentioned reason and so many others 🥰 I can‘t wait to read these and try the goodies! I‘ve never had marzipan!

I'm #currentlyreading multiple books and partaking in festive beverages for #TeamGameSleighers #WinterGames2021
pickFinally got this one from the library & loved it! I may end up buying it because I would reread it—maybe during the Halloween season. Only thing that bugged me was toward the end—the fact that they live in different locations is not an insurmountable problem. But, romance books often rely on lack of communication. Lots of witchy fun though. #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick 16pts #wintergames
so-soThis was a very quick read which was just ok for me. It was fun but the main problem I had was the romance between the two main characters, it just wasn‘t believable at all. They dated for 3 months 9 years ago, neither have been in touch but both say they couldn‘t forget each other? Hmm I‘m not buying it. The book was fun and lighthearted but a bit overhyped
Whimsical, magical, funny, and a bit sexy. Just enough cliche tension and denial for a romance novel and set against magic & Halloween. A delight to read!
Using the early morning quiet to get Christmas cards done while I listen to a Halloween book 😂🤣🤷🏻♀️
