I realized this year after a discussion with my friends that the reason why I haven’t been rereading books (or rewatching movies or tv shows for that matter) is messed up. ![]() I don’t reread books, I used to reread two series (one is fantasy and one is romance) because they were my favorite series, but the authors of both of them disappointed me recently, so I’m not rereading those series anymore and the only other book I have ever reread is The Alchemist because I read it and then I had to read it again for school.

If ever there was a time for this book, that time is now. “A witch is merely a woman who needs more than she has.” The nitty-gritty: A lively and compelling feminist story about grit and determination, sisterhood, and the hidden power of stories.
