Practical Magic Series by Alice Hoffman -> Starting October 6th, 2025

[Jessica]

The Owens sisters confront the challenges of life and love in this bewitching novel from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman.

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape.

One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic...

are yall starting w 1 or the 2 prequels? Magic lessons and rules of magic?

[Jamie]

I'm going to start with Magic Lessons since that's listed as #0.1

[Amanda]

Same. I read Rules of Magic a while ago and it was really good so i'm sure the first one is too. I'll still reread Rules of Magic with you guys though cause I don't really remember much, just that I liked it.

I'm probably going to read in publication order but we will see.
