Fall is finally here, which means it’s the season of the witch! And what’s more fitting than cosying up with some friends and reading for a spell?
If you’ve been toiling through any books lately, trouble no longer! Might I recommend Forged by Blood - a brand new Nigerian-inspired witchy fantasy novel I’ve been sinking my teeth in of late, with the most stunning cover? Or if you’re looking for something sweeter and more quaint, a favorite author of mine - Jenna Evans Welch - wrote a witchy YA romance last year that I’ve read several times and can definitely recommend: Spells for Lost Things.
There’s plenty more on the list worth a look or two if you’re in the spirit!
