My review for To the River by Vikki Wakefield

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Zermeena]

I read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches . I thought it was overrated and gave it 3 stars. The story was predictable and blah. And I found the title somewhat misleading.

I also listened to Circle of Quilters for the third time. This is book I love and reread for a challenge. It is always good to visit the Elm Creek quilters and spend time with them. This series inspired me to learn how to quilt.

I started reading Her Majesty's Royal Coven, but the first chapter is sad with animal death (one of the POV characters works as a vet). Not really what I was wanting :( but I will keep reading for now...
