This should probably be a so-so, but I‘m grading on a curve for nostalgia. I LOVED this series as a young teen - it actually inspired a Halloween costume in ninth grade and prompted a love of mythology and witchy lore (only the former persisted, unfortunately). A fun, quick read that didn‘t require much focus while I was traveling.

Hooked_on_books Excellent throwback cover! 3y
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books right?! I saw the newer covers popping up and you just can‘t mess with my adolescence! 🤣 Also, the continuation/tv-tie-in titles look atrocious. I‘m going to stay here in the past with my memories. 3y

Hooked_on_books I‘ll join you there! This actually reminds me of the 90s Christopher Pike covers. I loved those books! 3y
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books ooh, I loved Christopher Pike, and some of the R.L. Stine books too. I devoured stacks of those bad boys in middle school. 3y

#LittensDressedInBlood Today's prompt is Book of Spells

Man, I loved this series as a teen! I hard core identified with Cassie, who moves to a small community where everyone else has always known one another, which is what I also did around that time. Sadly, I did not get befriended by a circle of gorgeous witches and find my soulmate and my family's Book of Shadows, but I did join Reading Team, so pretty much the same.

Laughterhp I really liked this book too. Did you watch the tv show? 3y
ravenlee I‘m rereading this series this month! I also loved Cassie as a teen. I mega-loathed the tv show, though. 3y
MidnightBookGirl @Laughterhp @ravenlee I tried to watch the show, but hated the changes. I read those books so many times, so I knew the characters really well and just couldn't get into the show at all. 3y

📚 #ReadYourSign Challenge prompt 2 for Libra: Read a book that was published in the year you were born. 📚

The book I chose for this prompt is The Initiation from The Secret Circle series. I was born in 1992, and even though this seems to be an updated version, the original came out in that year!

MidnightBookGirl I loved this series when I was a teen (sigh), but I could totally understand the need to update, because a lot of the books of my tween and teens years have not aged well! 4y

When Cassie Blake moves to New #Salem, she discovers that her family roots run deeper than she knew, and her heritage holds some startling surprises. Turns out Cassie is descended from powerful line of witches. After an unexpected death, the local coven needs a new initiate to complete their circle.
