pick4 ⭐️ Usually I read more graphic and gore thriller/mystery novels and this one was a smidge too cozy for me. Still loved it and will definitely read the second - how can you not be intrigued by a cursed stage magician who tries to solve the mystery of her assistant‘s death?! Delicious food with recipes included makes this a book you shouldn‘t read on an empty stomach.

pickThis was a delightful original YA fantasy with no romance. About a teenage orphan who was taken in by a magician as a baby. The magician is trying to bring magic back into the world. This has a very unique world and magic system. It is also a standalone, which is a rarity. Though not highly complex, it was a fun read. 4⭐️
pickMagic and mystery together — a great combination! I loved the MC and her quirky family, and the way food, tradition, and legend were woven into the story. The mystery was a good one, even if the culprit was a touch obvious. I will agree with others that there were a couple too many branching offs, but then again, the major theme of the book WAS misdirection. Overall, I enjoyed this, and I‘d definitely read more from this author.
CARTER BEATS THE DEVIL is the latest stop on my Early-2000s Rereads Tour. I loved the hell out of it back in 2009, and I‘m still enjoying it here in 2024, with the usual caveats about racist depictions in early 20th century stage magic. I can‘t seem to actually sit down and READ IT, though. Hopefully I can get some momentum with it this weekend.
Watching Hocus Pocus 2 today! I love this one- it‘s so funny.😆 #teamBOOklovers #scarathlon @Bookwormjillk

Behold! The best Lego ever! Now to convince my husband this is an essential purchase.
@wanderinglynn asked us to make a mood board for #HHS23. Really I could of just put a picture of Hocus Pocus. That whole film is what I want from Halloween witches, dancing, candles, trick or treating, talking cats… perfect! Ghostbusters is my other favourite film. I take my little pumpkins to the pumpkin patch every year and we spend ages choosing the perfect ones.
