760 pages of politicking and scheming in a fictional Baltic state and surrounding countries, translated from Serbo-Croatian. It is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it has its moments, and it is also very engaging. Reading it takes a bit of stamina, but it is definitely worth it.

I'm only 50 pages in, but this book is astonishing.

Miracle à la Combe aux Aspics (Čudo u Poskokovoj Dragi in the original Croatian) is a funny (but very unsubtle) novel about a violent, boorish and self-sufficient family living in the mountains near Split, in Croatia. Not a classic, but very readable.

Holy hell, @HufflepuffGirl90 💀!
How did you fit all this in one box? Not only are you a great gift-giver, you‘re an EXCELLENT packer!

I‘ve already started dog-earing pages of “Practical Candleburning Rituals” for the days ahead. Definitely planning to “Bring Pressure to Bear Upon an Enemy” before Tuesday. The subsequent spells, “To Protect Against Evil” & “To Soothe & Quiet the Nerves” should pair nicely. Thanks for ALL of the books & goodies!

monalyisha Happy Halloween & Blessed Samhain to all involved in the #BasicWitchSwap (& beyond) — especially @HufflepuffGirl90 @Meaw_catlady & @sprainedbrain ✨🔮! Hope you have a magical night! 🖤 3y

sprainedbrain What an awesome collection of gifts! Blessed be! ❤ 3y
sprainedbrain also... what are the odds you could share those election-appropriate rituals? 😉 Adding that book to my wish list for next year! 3y
monalyisha @sprainedbrain You got it! The way the book is split up, each ritual exists in duplicate; one is written according to the “Old Religion” & the double is a “Christian” version. I was definitely planning to perform the one meant for an “enemy” using the Christian set-up. I thought it‘d be apt to use his “own” religion (🙄) against him. But I‘m down to share whatever! 3y
HufflepuffGirl90 I‘m so glad you liked everything! It was so much fun shopping for you! I hope you have a magical and safe All Hallows Eve, Blessed Samhain 💜🖤🧡 3y
SamAnne Ooh yes, an election night candle ritual! 3y
