Happy #Jolabokaflod swap day! Thank you @LeahBergen for the fantastic package! Mint chocolate is my fav and I've been wanting to read this book! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for organizing @MaleficentBookDragon
pickRead this for a little book club with my friends.
Crazy that it is based on journal entries. Thomas was bleh man, but Maggie's chapters were so good.
This is historical fiction, which I don't usually enjoy, but this was good for me.
Both of my friends said it was cheesy. But I didn't get the cheese.

pickThis was GREAT! Based on a real woman who was “the first witch of Boston”, this is a devastating story about a compelling, complicated woman and the husband who loved her through it all. If you love witch trial stories you can probably guess how this goes but the journey is amazing! The narrator of the audiobook was also compelling. Highly recommend!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickExcellent historical fiction based around true events. It was presented in a way that‘s not typical in similar stories; In this case she was living among puritans but not one, willful, had the support of her husband (mostly) &was negatively impacted throughout her life by the notions of her time allowing the reader to see her as something other than a victim without characterizing her through a lens of modern feminism. Highly recommend.
pickAn engaging story. Based on facts & real people, but with an embellished story to complete it. I can‘t imagine what it would‘ve been like to try to life in the puritan colonies of that time. I enjoyed the story.
