pickThis book is so cozy and warm. About what makes a home and family.
Set in the lead up to Christmas so even though there‘s witches, it‘s a perfect read for December as well.
And though there‘s romance here, that‘s not the main focus of the book.
so-soSeems like I came across a stand-alone novel which seems to be not typical for Meg Cabot. The coming off age (or coming off witchcraft) story is nice for the teenager target group but for me as an adult reader the ending was a bit rushed. I couldn‘t believe how gullible Jinx was and that she didn‘t realize where Zack‘s infatuation lies. Completely out of it.
pickSuch a cute graphic novel and story!

Enjoy!
Thank you so much Katherine for the kind words and the book! It will definitely be a sad Christmas this year for me, but all of you make it easier ❤️ can‘t wait to read this book! I love witchy and magical all year!

pickThe story jumps right in after the prologue without much character development, which made it hard to get into at first. I love a good story about deep family bonds, and all the magic made it better! Anne‘s self righteousness made me so mad at the end, she played just as big a part. Overall a warm, cozy read.

Yeah, so, my attitude towards A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES has officially gone from, “I‘ll probably like this, despite its TWILIGHT vibes,” to, “Ugh, I dislike pretty well everything about Harkness‘s approach and it‘s so LONG and TEDIOUS and WHYYYYYY.”
I‘m gonna finish it in case the time travel element saves it, but I have few hopes.
At least my Wuhan hot dry noodles were good. I increased the noodle:sauce ratio and added MANY mustard tubers.
The descriptive writing in this book has its moments, and I was very swept up in it for the first half. But sometimes, it does feel like she's typing with one hand and holding a thesaurus with the other. Idk that I need a simile on every page.
so-so3✨ This gave me a magical kids Nanny McFee vibe. I really enjoyed the homeschool witches, secret society aspect of this book. The characters were easy to like and the world building had a lot of interesting elements that could be explored more.
