Welcome to Litsy!

I feel like the luckiest recipient of the #modernwitchswap! Truly witchy!! I absolutely love the scarf (beautiful!!), and the spices and tea. I‘m sniffing everything and cannot wait to use them. And the books are perfect!!! Thank you @TEArificbooks I can tell so much care and love went into this. And the homemade card! That made my day!!

Amidst the historic play-by-play, Roach takes the time to really focus on 6 specific women of the trials: How did they each come to be living in Salem, 1692 (indisputably a WRONG place & WRONG time)? What fears, hopes, misunderstandings could‘ve led innocent women to confess? What traumas & biases, left to fester, could have brought about such hysteria?

This book doesn‘t pretend to have all the answers. But it‘s important to ask the questions.

The Lesser Dead is about a group of vampires living in the NYC underground in the late 1970s. It‘s the first time I‘ve really been sucked into a story about vampires (other than Bunnicula)

A Season with the Witch is a nonfiction work by a reporter who stayed in Salem with his family for the month of October. It‘s such a historic, complex, and horribly cheesy place. Visiting Salem is now near the top of my bucket list!

I enjoy reading Bill O'Reilly's Killing Series. I always learn so much about history. From the Salem Witch Trails to the movie The Exorcist to how the town of Salem has embraced their history for profit, Killing the Witches covers it all.

I don‘t agree with his political views but he certainly makes reading history entertaining. What I thought was just going to be a discussion about the Salem Witch Trials turned into one of religious freedoms and the American Revolution. Who knew we had a problem with the separation of church and state from the beginning!

Thank you @Pogue ! I‘ve been wanting to read this for so long! Happy holidays! #jolabokaflod
