obsessed so far I can’t even express ??

I can’t be stopped, more witchy books please 💅


*will start my book club book soon I promise*

Literally obsessed with the movie. It’s about time I dive into the series! Opted for written order, not chronological order.

I'm really trying to get through this book but it's taking me ages. Alice Hoffman's style of writing just really doesn't work for me unfortunately. So I'm going to put it down for now. Maybe I'll try again another time.

The fact that this whole book is in 4 chaptets/sections is making me get through this soooo slow. One of the only times I actually prefer the film to the book.

This is a lot of telling rather than showing type writing…

Way different then the movie, lots of things happening that didn’t happen in the movie like big things. Sally moved into her own home with two teenage daughters ages 13 and 17.

Good lord, Gary just cries all the time.

i am 🤏 this close to dnf

this might be a dnf I feel like nothing is happening and I have so many other books I rlly wanna read rn. actually maybe i’ll just put a pause on her but i’m fully in the middle of a chapter smh

These chapters are very long!

Took me a year to get back into it but this time around it’s better. But not fantastic and captivating. I don’t get that cozy fall feeling that everyone speaks off. It seems to be more about domestic abuse than withes and fall.

oh to write of love like this

So where are the witches 🤡

Goodness, in their opinion, was not a virtue but merely spinelessness and fear disguised as humility.

Okay, this is already such a cute book for Fall! I watched the movie for the first time this year and while the book is different, it’s still good.

Everything about this book is so good! I love the story telling! How they ever made the movie from this book I will never know. As usual, the book is far better!

'always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. keep rosemary by your garden gate. add pepper to your mashed potatoes. plant roses and lavender, for luck. fall in love whenever you
can.'

the tears that pricked. what an ending 🥲

‘she’s gotten back some of whatever she’d lost. attraction, she now understands, is a state of mind.'

uuuhhh, this book and it’s wisdom 🥹

Only 10 pages in and the atmosphere and descriptions have been so fun so far!

I think the fact of me not seeing the movie prior to reading will impact my feelings toward the book!

So far, I'm enjoying this book but it's so far from the movie that I'm a little thrown off. I didn't imagine they'd be identical, but some of the key themes seem to have changed!
Definitely enjoying but wrapping my head around some of the character/setting changes is a bit odd.

very hocus pocus-y. slightly predictable

The book, so far, is so good! I love Alice Hoffman’s way of writing. How every word brings to life the characters, their feelings, the smells and surroundings.

Trying to stick with this one but the story isn’t super gripping. Positive: one of the characters has my name

THIS IS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE MOVIE

I rewatched the movie last night so now I have to read the book

Only just started, but this is seriously cozy 🐈‍⬛

Let the fall books begin

Y'all know I had to have my cozy little end of summer read.

The book is VERY different from the movie, not in a bad way though
