Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you’re heading in the right direction.

Some fates are guaranteed, no matter who tries to intervene.

Real love was dangerous, it got you from inside and held on tight, and if you didn’t let go fast enough you might be willing to do anything for it’s sake.

She didn’t like confusion and mess, both of which filled the aunts’ old house on Magnolia Street from attic to cellar.

idk why i’m so surprised, but this is sooo much better than the movie!

I will not let poor reviews sway my opinion of this book.
I will not quit this book even if it has cheesy parts.
I will try to love this book because so many of my friends love it, & think I will love it too.
(Just psyching myself up for this one 😂)

Gillian is such a narcissist and I hate her. But this book is easy to read so I’m going to finish it.

This book is the perfect read and way to begin my October reading month.
A full review & rating to come...

Now on to "The Rules of Magic", the next book in this series that gives the details about the Owens Family curse that began in 1620...

It’s taking everything in me to not DNF this

Moving real slow

кайли my sweet child

DNF.

Nothing beats the excitement of opening up this book and realizing somehow I ended up with a signed copy?! Little miracles when you least expect them ✨️ 😌

Levitation

I really wanna know how it ends, but the story is starting to bore me a little. I keep feeling like it’s leading up to something then that something never happens.

I don’t think this book is anywhere near as good as the moving and I am considering not finishing it although I am going to try and push through

So good, so good, so GOOD.

I decided to read this series in the order it was written and I'm enjoying the heck out of the story so far. Hoffman's writing style is very 'rambliy' as she packs information about the story/characters onto one thought after another. Strangely enough, it all connects and flows seamlessly. Not thrilled about the long sections with few breaks though...

Sisters 😭😭😭

Do yourself a favor and just watch the movie. This is one of the few instances where the book isn't better.

DNF @ 65%

Least favorite of the series

Very little dialogue which is weird

I think I'm feeling 3.5. I liked the beginning most, with Sally and Gillian growing up, the aunts' spells and the tragically lovelorn. Once it got to Sally's house and it was as much a coming of age about her daughters as anything else, it lost the magic a bit lol.

I don’t like this one near as much as the first two

Hot take #2: There's not enough magic.

Hot take: no one in this book is in love. There's a lot of infatuation and obsession, but love? Nah.

I can already tell how different this one is to the precious ones-since the prequels were written after this one. Inconsistencies between the aunts

A comfort reread ☺️

context for the movie >>>>

Spooky book season take 2. Though this is infinitely more wholesome and can't responsibly be put in the horror category.
