I wanted to make this a different type of review. I have talked about this book on here before, and if you need more convincing to read it look no farther!

Salem Witch Trials

I LOVE books about witches, and this book is no exception. Samantha has the wrong ancestors. She is related to Cotton Mather who is responsible for the trials in Salem. With Samantha being the nearest living descendant of Mather, the locals blame her for the trials. The welcome committed aren't handing out warm smiles and bake goods. Instead they are handing out hateful threats back upped with magic

Backed Up History

The Author Adriana Mather is the 12th generation of Mathers! How cool is it that this history is in her blood? She writes with a knowledge of this time of history, but puts her own magical twist to it.

Witches, Ghosts, Oh My

Not only does this book deal with witches, but there are ghosts too. These ghosts make this read even more eerie, romantic, and suspenseful.

Unique Writing:

While this book is paranormal, at times it reads like a contemporary giving this book a unique feel. I loved how through a lot of it I feel like I was reading a contemporary. I know that authors try this style of writing for their books, and sometimes it works while other times it doesn't. For me it worked in this case. The author gives the reader a feel of history and day to day life. This gives the impression that everything in this book is possible.

Mystery

There is a great who done it feel to this book. Sam learns that there is a curse that has been going on for centuries, and guess who is in the middle of it? Sam with help must find out who has cursed the families, and what must be done to end the curse.

Let's throw in a bonus

Hidden Gem in YA

I don't think this book gets enough credit. How to Hang a Witch is fun, witty, suspenseful, magical, and has witches and ghost! I truly believe this book is a hidden gem in our community. It's hard to find hidden gems now, and there is just something special about being able to find one.

4/5 Teacups for me!

Let me know if you pick up How to Hang a Witch, and your thoughts on it. Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Healthy Reading Snacks

If you are anything like me you love to snack. As I have mentioned on here before I have been working hard to change my eating habits. So here are some healthy snack ideas that you can try next time you are wanting a nice snack to munch on while reading a great book. Frozen Grapes The first one if the easiest. You take grapes, wash them, put them in a freezer friendly container, and then put them in the freezer. I like to leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Over night is best. Quick tip: If you have a soar throat frozen grapes feel AMAZING on your throat. My mom use to make them for me when I had strep throat. If you want something sweet but don't want the guilt, this tea is for you. It is rich and chocolaty with a little kick, and no ingredients that are bad for you. This is a black tea so it has CAFFEINE. In case you cannot see the tea's name it is Numi Indulgent Tea Chocolate Spice Zucchini Pizza What You need : One Me...

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...
