...for comfy sweaters.
The movie practical magic plus the lighting from the care of magical creatures lesson in Harry Potter. Soups, stews, chillis,baked goods.

Starting next for my movie bookclub.

#Witchathon tbr

My tbr of witchy books. I know I won‘t even make a dent in this pile but if I can knock one off my stack I‘ll be thrilled.

Started this one on audio! 💛💫⭐️

What are you reading today?

#LitsyLove

What is the correct order of these books? I‘ve seen several suggestions and I‘ve got to order the other two! I have started Practical Magic on audio 🎧💫💛

Help!!

Sally and her sister Gillian were raised by their spinster witch aunts. Both leave home to get away from the taunts and ridicule of the town, but maybe home isn‘t just a place.

This is the same story, but completely different from the movie and I am absolutely in love…with both haha

#CoverLove #Boots

Is anyone else absurdly excited by the movie sequel news?! #booktomovie

Kate Winslet

Nicole Kidman

Kelly Bishop

Just saw this and had to play. I see lots of good ones already shared so I‘ll also add:

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
Chocolat by Joanne Harris
The Shining by Stephen King

I loved all these books and movies.

Thanks for asking @dabbe !
#ThreeListThursday or Saturday

The Owens' women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town since Maria Owens built a house on Magnolia Street. This unconventional house has 3 locks on every door.Gillian and Sally are sisters who live in the attic where they are raised by their carefree aunts who allow them freedom to do as they wish. Trouble seems to follow Gillian when she returns putting the responsibility of the dependable Sally to help remedy the situation.

Granted, I fell in love with the movie adaptation of Practical Magic before ever reading the novel…but I actually prefer the ending of the movie to the ending of the book. 🫢

To be clear, I also love the novel. Alice Hoffman‘s writing is just so pretty & evocative.

#SundayFunday

So my total for this year was 2,745. Not as good as I wanted to do. But, hope it helps with the team totals.

3/5 ⭐️ A bit disappointed in this book. And it's been awhile since I've seen the movie so I can't remember if I liked that either. This is the second book I've read of Hoffman's where I just feel meh towards the book so maybe it's just not a good reader/author match 🤷🏼‍♀️
#scarathlon #BatBrigade

Practical Magic on the TV, several jars of apple butter in the canner, and snacking on these skull pizza pockets!

Watching Practical Magic - one of my favorite fall movies!🎃🧙🏼‍♀️👻 #scarathlon #teamBOOks @Bookwormjillk

Book 1 for Dewey's 24-Hour #Readathon. Oddly enough, I didn't enjoy this one as much as The Rules of Magic and The Book of Magic, though I don't know why. It was still good, and I'm glad I read it because now I can watch the movie. 135 points for #Scarathlon #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

This is the second time I've read this book, and while I still like the movie more, I did enjoy the book more the second time. Also, the cover is gorgeous, and I really want to hang out with their aunts 🐈‍⬛️

For the first half of October and #scarathlon2023 and #blackcatcrew is 735 points. That‘s mostly from movies/shows. I‘m about halfway through reading Practical Magic. I need to step up my reading game for the second half.

I‘m off to a promising start for the #outstandingoctober read-a-thon! Hoping to complete my #bookspin, #authoramonth, and #scarathlon buddy reads over the course of the week.

Day 11 #Scarathlon Photo Challenge - Witch. I absolutely love this series, and the Fall feels like the perfect time to read it. #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

I did like it, but the movie was better. I think the structure was problematic, it needed more chapters breaks to transition between characters. #scarathlon #blackcatcrew #spookoween #31by31 #witchathon #falling4books #pumpkinspicereadathon @BookwormAHN @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks @Read4life @Emilymdxn

Recently I rewatched the movie; my friends & I loved it when we were young, but was it actually good? Or did we just want to drink midnight margaritas & kill our abusers?

I feel similarly about the book, which is somewhat different in its premise from the film; it has style, it‘s weird, whimsical & a bit haunting. But found it of little substance.
#blackcatcrew #buddyread #scarathlon2023

I‘m still so far behind on book reviews! This is my most recent audiobook, a reread for my church book club. I read the physical book before, but I think I liked it better on audio. Still a bit slow in plot but a good witchy story, especially now that I‘ve read the prequel, The Rules of Magic.

I missed yesterdays reading sprint, but I did check something off my bucket list with a Candy Corn Cocktail!

Here is our first game. Each answer is worth 10 pts. You can earn an unlimited amount of pts as long as you are finished by the 8th. Please post your answers and feel free to mark them as spoilers 👻

Here is my #bookspin list for October that doubles as my #scarathlon TBR! This is definitely ambitious as I have to read some #LMPBC books and continue my chronological read of Stephen King (Firestarter and Cujo) as well. BUT I‘m so excited for spooky season!!!!

#scarathlon #batbrigade

1. The tagged series. The movie was good, too. In my younger days when I liked horror, it‘d have to be The Stand

2. Grape-flavored nerds: the only time of the year I get any!

3. Listening—while driving and doing chores, reading—before going to bed

4. Dang, no doubt about it, cooler weather—& the way the sun is angled differently (but more noticeably in the northern states)

5. I still ❤️ 80s music 😊

My #Scarathlon2023 to be watched list. Mostly classic scary movies. I‘ll probably add in a few new movies as well. And a few tv series. #blackcatcrew #scarathlon

My #bookspin titles for October. I haven't been reading much lately. Hoping that #scarathlon (and some new books I've really been looking forward to) will help me get my groove back.

@TheAromaofBooks

I just watched Practical Magic for the second time and I get why my younger self didn‘t love it - it honestly would have been too scary for me as a kid - I noped out of watching The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the second Aladdin movie where Jafar turns into a snake. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT this time round, totally get why it‘s beloved and why you‘d want to watch it every year.

And now I‘m wondering how different the book is?

Here is part of my October tbr for #Scarathlon #Witchathon & #BookSpinBingo 🐈‍⬛

You all are on my team for the #Scarathlon festivities. Our book picks are Practical Magic and Goddess of Filth. I will be posting ways to get early points up next. Also I will be keeping up with team points, weekly games, and other fun stuff. This year is going to be brilliant 🐈‍⬛

Okay, Modern Witches time for some fun. Here is my aesthetic board for the #ModernWitchSwap. What does y'alls look like 🐈‍⬛
I know some have already done one, and a few have even received their packages already. If so, then well done. If not, want to play? Also, #Witchathon #Scarathlon and Halloween are coming up. The time for spooky fun is quickly approaching 🎃
#MWS

#HHS #HHS23 #HauntedHallowSwap. Practical magic is one of my fave movies to watch during October. I cannot wait for the fall for all the pumpkin spice coffee, hoodie season, cozy fuzzy socks. I also love the colors of the fall
