The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer Publishes 4/7/26

 


This was so good and a great book for all book lovers!  I absolutely loved this premise and the entire idea behind this book.  This was wonderfully unique in that it was a story all about books with wonderful characters who try and save books.  You know a book is amazing when it makes you want to read more books. 


Rainey March is a book witch.  She travels into books to save them from Burners who try and destroy stories they don't agree with.  There are certain rules that a book witch has to follow such as don' fall in love with fictional characters.  Rainey breaks this rule when she goes into a book to save the Duke of Chicago.  Their love is forbidden and she has to give him up until Rainey finds herself involved in a real life mystery when her grandfather goes missing and her mother's book is stolen. 


This book is one of my top reads of the year.  I loved everything Rainey stood for and I was not expecting the book to turn out the way it did.  I love it when I can be surprised by a story.  This is a must read for all book lovers!!!

The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner

  Witches, magic, the sea, kidnapping, murder, and romance, what more could you ask for in a novel! I thoroughly enjoyed this dual timeline novel that takes place on the Amalfi Coast in the early 1800s and present day. Mari is a streghe or sea witch in Positano. Mari and other women from her village use the power of the sea to protect their village and help them be prosperous. The only problem is Mari hates the sea and wants to leave her village. The sea took her mother and sister and she no longer wants any part of it. She has a plan to escape and find happiness when things go horribly wrong.

Under the Stars by Beatriz Williams

  This was excellent!  Historical fiction blended with contemporary to create an excellent story that blends family drama, mystery, and romance.   The modern-day story follows Audrey Fisher, a talented chef striving to escape the shadow of her famous, troubled mother, Meredith Fisher. They return to Winthrop Island, a place with complicated memories, to help Meredith dry out and Audrey gets over the abandonment of her husband. While there, Audrey unearths a hidden trove of paintings that pulls them into a historical mystery, drawing in the charming Sedge Peabody and igniting a quest for answers. The author beautifully crafts their emotional journeys, making their struggles and discoveries feel deeply personal and relatable. Intertwined with Audrey and Meredith's story is the breathtaking saga of Providence Dare, a woman fleeing her past aboard the luxury steamship Atlantic in 1846. Her journey is a gripping cat-and-mouse game against a relentless detective, set again...
