Witchlings | 
so-soI didn't care for the book at first, but somehow, by the end, I was actually interested in the story. I think the first part was a little slow for me, but it did set up some of the stuff to come later in the book. There was quite a bit of world building that had to happen without being overwhelming. I think the author did a decent job of it. I found the concept interesting and will probably read the next book in the series.

This coming-of-age story centers around the Witchlings, chosen by their town leader to be “spare” witches. They are singled out as unnecessary in their community, and this isolation brings to light both systemic abuse revolving around class and familial abuse. I really wanted to like this book, but I found the pacing and plot to be too messy and incongruent. The characters were great, but everything else felt sloppy and unbelievable.
pickGreat pacing, a fantastic plot, and great character growth. Imaginative. If you love Morrigan Crow, you will love this.
pickEveryone is a witch in this world. When you‘re a kid, you‘re a witchling and are sorted into your coven. All but 3 people (I have no idea why). Every year there are 3 spares. If the spares don‘t become a coven they basically lose their magic. So they invoke some practice to complete a task to become witches.

pickThis MG book was so ✨ cute ✨ and well written. Think Harry Potter minus the problematic elements, featuring predominantly powerful ladies. I also am going to adopt “butt toad” into my lexicon for people who annoy me. 😂 🐸 🐉 🧙🏻♀️ ♥️
Greetings from me and my Mothman-mug, very ready to tackle this recent library-pickup that I've been very excited about! 🦇
I hope everybody's making the best of this new week.
I'm still reeling from the shooting in Copenhagen last night. Please hold your loved ones close, always. ❤️
pickI really liked this one! A cute fantasy about a trio of young witches who must complete a challenge if they want to keep their powers. Great story about friendship, fairness and kindness, and determination.
pickA cute new middle grade from the author of Ghost Squad about a group of young witches who have to go up against a monster to prove themselves or else be turned into toads forever. Lots of fun magical worldbuilding, but my favorite part was the character development and arc of the main trio who go from strangers / enemies to best friends.
Just starting this one and really loving it so far! Also, Rumpel has the softest, most kissable belly! 😸💕 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
So excited for Witchlings! #claribelaortega #witchlings #booksbrewsandbooze

pickI feel like it's been ages since I read a middle grade novel. A perfect bubble bath read!
Here's the thing, if it is middle grade fantasy and the theme is 'friendship is magic' - it's going to be my jam. This isn't groundbreaking kidlit but it's a super fun, cute read that I can't wait to share with my nephews.
pickOrtega‘s latest is a fun MG story about a young witch who, along with two others, must complete an impossible task in order to ensure they don‘t lose their magical abilities forever. Even worse, if they fail they‘ll be turned into toads. This is a story about fitting in, misunderstandings & assumptions, maintaining friendships & making new ones, & magic & adventure (of course). A fun read with some likable characters. On sale 2/1/22.
