I've only made it halfway through The Briar Book of the Dead so I probably won't finish it before the liveshow but I'll still probably show up to see the discussion. I actually really like it, I just got too distracted with family things. I'm generally not a witchy book person as you know, but the couple books I've picked up that y'all are reading have been wins for me and it's fun to see the discussions and the rankings.
@KristinKravesBooks4 күн бұрын
I'm not surprised you're enjoying it! It feels like a potential Cait book as far as witches go. I love that you joined us for a few of these and they went well even though you aren't a big witchy person. You're the best!!

I was obsessed. I got to go to their concert, too, in Tinley Park, IL, when I was 12, when it was called the New World Music Theatre outdoors, like in 1998! Then I saw the Backstreet Boys there with Aaron Carter lol. I really liked Sorcery and Small Magics, 4 stars, on audio! I also listened to The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year, 1 star. Definitely not fun lol. I don't think I'm into Ally Carter's writing. I've read two other books by her: Not If I Save You First and The Blonde Identity, both 1 star.
