pickSo if ever there was an argument for plugging along through a book you aren‘t loving it‘s this one! It took me so long to finish this and I admit I started skimming through the middle. Then magic happened and I figured out what was really going on and by the end I loved this novel! So so good! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickThis book checked a lot of boxes for me, and ended up being one of my most surprising picks of the year so far.
My review of this NetGalley gem and perfect fall read is on my blog: http://sprainedbrain.blog/2021/11/07/review-the-lighthouse-witches-by-c-j-cooke/

Tending my plant babies while I'm waiting for the cauliflower soup to boil.
Just noticed that my lucky bamboo has a new sprouting. The peppermint cuttings I took from a friend's garden for tea have sprouted roots.
Also, my daughter's "we'll make salt crystals" experiments from Spring are still on the tray.

Some recent purchases from the Target (top photo) and Amazon (bottom photo) Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales! Reading The Lighthouse Witches now - early days but really good so far - and most of the others I‘m adding to next month‘s Bookspin Bingo board. Both The Song of Achilles and It Ends With Us are impulse buys after hearing rave reviews on TikTok. Hopefully I love them too!
pickThis was a wonderfully atmospheric read for Halloween season. When two children go missing on a remote Scottish island in 1998, the frantic mother is told stories of witches and wildings (supernatural children that look like real children). In 2021 the third child is now an adult and rushes back to the island when she gets word one of her sisters has been found. I enjoyed the book, giving it an almost 4/5 stars.
pickBook 16 for October themed reads. This one was SO good! Scottish lore, dynamic characters. Totally worth picking up and reading!
pickReview is up on my blog. Check it out!

pickI just finished this one last night! So good, couldn‘t put it down!! Read it! Perfect for this time of year!
C. J. Cooke‘s The Lighthouse Witches is out today! I loved this book—perfect creepy vibes for fall! And a lovely Blueberry Peach Cobbler teacup candle from Beautifully Novel (you can find her on Etsy, if you‘re interested).
pickThe Lighthouse Witches takes place on an island off the west coast of Scotland (for some reason it's never called the Hebrides in this book.) A mother moves there to paint a mural inside a lighthouse and uproots her daughters to do so, but then they disappear. The island has a long sordid history including witchhunts and missing children, and the author has used a lot from Scottish folklore and history.
