Penny dog is at the groomers again and I‘m enjoying a Panera salad for lunch/dinner reading the tagged on my kindle.
@Reggie They did not have any Everything cookies 🍪 so I got chocolate chip again. I‘ll be back in two months and try again. 😅
so-soWhile I loved Witches of New York and was excited to spend time with these women, this fell short of expectations. The characters are wonderful, but this reads like an outline of a story rather than something complete unto itself. I'm a big fan of the novella form, and believe a lot can be packed into a small package, but this just felt like it needed to be fleshed out. A great concept for a return to these witches, but a bit soulless in execution
Thank you for the lovely #NaughtyListHolidaySwap, @BarkingMadRead ! I'm so excited to read the books, the bookmarks are awesome, and the decorative sign is perfect for the "Spirits and Spirits" (ghost stories and cocktails) party we're hosting this weekend!
And thank YOU for hosting #nlhs, @WildAlaskaBibliophile and @TieDyeDude !
pickIf you‘re curious about tarot cards, but uncertain where to start, this clear, clever, and fun guide will introduce you to the major and minor arcana in memorable, easy to understand ways. Emphasizing self-reflection over fortune-telling, using personal and pop cultural context, Wild Card is my recommendation for a welcoming entry point to this ancient practice.

Thank you @staci.reads for the #jolabokaflod book and chocolate! These almonds were a great choice for me, I love them. Venkman approves your book choice. Happy Book Flood Day! 📚🎄Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing, I love this swap.
Which books did you buy as gifts this holiday season?
I went with a witchy theme for my 5-year-old niece. The inspiration was a Witch‘s Apothecary Potion Kit that I found on Etsy; it incorporates STEM, sensory play, and social emotional learning. It comes with rhyming spell cards (for things like kindness & courage), and a slew of special, bottled ingredients. I also got us “matching” hagstone/fairy-stone necklaces.
Wrapped & ready! ✨🎄🔮
I needed to show you how beautiful this wrapping paper is😍 Love it @BarkingMadRead this is my beautiful #WinterWitchSwap box
