In a letter to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I cannot live without books," and we understand how he felt. Books have been our best friends ever since we can remember and we're going to celebrate our love for them with this 'reading challenge.' The aim is to tick one book off every month!

Although our lives have taken us in different directions, this challenge, and this blog, is also a way for us to celebrate our friendship as well as our love of reading.

This blog is really just for fun and each entry will explain how the 'book of the month' fits into the category, why we made our choices, and include some comments/thoughts on each book.

Let the challenge commence!!

Challenge 12: A book with a Lion, a Witch, or a Wardrobe

Ida's book: "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness (Penguin Books, 2011)
I've always loved stories about witches, I find them absolutely fascinating. Although I've read this one before, I decided it was time to revisit it, and seeing as it's October and Halloween it seemed to fit the season 


Comments:

I absolutely love this book, despite it's sometimes frustrating treatment of it's heroine and her sudden frailty when she falls in love. The book does manage to treat the whole witches, vampires and demons with a authenticity that ultimately makes this book such a great read.
