Tagging this book because it‘s mentioned in the article. I haven‘t read most of these (just Erin Sterling‘s two) but I‘m curious - for those of you who have, thoughts?

Adorable

Borderline a so-so but ultimately enjoyable. Some of the plot is mundane (no pun intended) but then when it moves, it is GOOD. I wasn‘t expecting the spice, so reading this at the doctors office was a hilarious experience. Now I‘m invested in the characters, so on to the next!

Surprise gifts are the best kind! Sending all the love to my witchy sis 💕 @Chrissyreadit leaving these under moonlight for a spell 🌕

Opening day for #AllHallowsReadSwap! Thank you @rsteve388 for my #AHRS box 😊 I'm excited about the books!

@MaleficentBookDragon

Fun, steamy and just enough witchiness sprinkled in to make a near perfect read!

Sunday morning has us feeling like cuddling up with a good book!!

This sounded like it might be a fun read, but it was a miss for me. I did manage to finish it, but barely. Not a fan of insta-love, and the story kinda dragged.

I've been MIA from Litsy (and reading in general, for that matter) the past month while traveling for work, but I've officially received all my items for my #basicwitchswap match's box! Hoping to get the package out this weekend 😁 @sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit

This was delightfully fun! For something with pretty typical romance novel vibes I was thrilled to see such good queer representation and open talk about consent. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES #witchathon @mdm139

My library book haul! 🤓🤓🤓

Such a fun read.

This romance has a funny, playful side. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#witch-please

1. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Good read so far!

2. The Giver of Stars Jojo Moyes , Virginia River - Shelter Mountain Robyn Carr. Love the Libby app!!

3. Witch Please by Ann Aguirre excited to have snagged this book when we were at the library this week.

Romance novel about a modern day witch (with powers to fix appliances) who falls in love with one of her non-witch clients. I like how the book inverts some gender stereotypes about sex and sexuality.

I enjoyed this because it was light and fun. The two leads were interesting together and their families are a little bit crazy and dramatic. I like that this stands alone but also kind of sets up a small town series. The little hint of magic was fun as well.

4 ⭐ If you want something light but fun this fall, you need to pick up Witch Please. Danica comes from a family of witches. She lives with her cousin and they own a shop fixing electrical appliances. They are the Fix-It Witches. One day a baker walk into the shop for assistance, falls in instalove and decides this is the girl he is going to marry. But Titus believes he is cursed.

I wanted to love this one but the voice felt off for the demographic—even going for a more quirky tone. And maybe some of that was it felt like it was relying on the quirk over real action for much of the book. The witchiness felt rather light overall. And it didn‘t feel like all things were really resolved at the end. I have read this is great for fans of Gilmore Girls (which I, admittedly, have watched little of) so I'm sure others will enjoy

I was going to add this book to the “Witches/Spells“ space on my bingo but since I bailed at barely 100 pages in and then skimmed through the rest......I won't be placing it on the board.

However, the book I am reading now 🌶🌶🌶 LOVING EVERY SECOND! #Devilry

Delightful and fun. The perfect pumpkin spice read to cheer in the season! 🎃🧙#BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Final September #bookspinbingo with another bingo! I finished Where the Crawdads Sing in the final hours (will post thoughts another time) and I was so happy I completely forgot to post my bingo card 😅. I had an additional read that couldn‘t fit since I used all my free spaces: Witch Please by Ann Aguirre. Another solid month of reading topping out at 15 books.

@TheAromaofBooks

The #FirstLineFriday of this book I just got from Book Drop, is spot on. #WitchLife

Unfortunately neither of these were working for me so I‘m bailing. The Dating Game was a #bookspin book this month. @TheAromaofBooks

I absolutely believe this is true. Cats always want to come by me.

Knocked out a #BookspinBingo free space with this audio ARC from #netgalley

This was a cute story and I love the town. It features a mostly nice family but even better a pretty large coven. (More story possibilities for the future)

Loved the cover and narrator but the book wasn't for me
