Review
From Amazon:
Wanda Wayfair is a bit of a late starter. At almost twenty-one she still hasn't received her magical powers, and she's running out of time. But that doesn’t bother Wanda. Much. Not when she can spend all of her time in the human world and pretend that her coven doesn’t exist. But when Wanda takes a job at Berrys' Bottlers, working with the handsome Will Berry and his unpleasant Aunt Alice, she soon realises that she's a lot closer to the magical world than she thought. All over Dublin, humans are murdering witches. When asked why, all they'll say is, 'I dunno why I done it.' But Wanda thinks she does know why they’ve done it – and hopefully she’ll receive her power in time to help her coven discover the truth.
This isn't my usual type of book. I almost never read paranormal romances or vampire stories or in this case a paranormal mystery. This, however, was much better than I'd expected. My sister and I decided to read it at the same time and discuss it afterwards. We both loved it. It was a fun, quick read. I enjoyed reading a book set in Dublin for once. That doesn't happen very often. I especially enjoyed reading about covens and familiars. Maybe we'll get to read about brooms in later books in the series.
Since Booklikes is up again, I'd like to share links to my other book community profiles.
Please send me a friend request if you'd like to stay in touch, no matter what happens to Booklikes. I have started reading again and will be reviewing too, from time to time.

I'm Minwynn on Libib too.
And finally, here is my Dreamwidth journal, where I will be posting reviews too:

Like everyone else I'm also on Facebook, but I don't post anything about books there so it's hardly worth friending me there, unless you really want to.

If you are a bookworm and always look for opportunities to dive into reading then you should search for jobs that will satisfy your need to be around books and reading. Reading books is a hobby that relaxes your senses.I
I'm not sure if all these would work out in reality, but it's a nice thought.

Christmas present
This is what I got for Christmas this year! For the first time in ages I've been able to focus enough to read a few books. It's wonderful. :) Reviews will follow.

“There are moments in your life when you know everything is about to change. Time isn’t whizzing by, your mind isn’t in a blur, you’re in it, living it, and you know, consciously, that your world will never be the same again. You will never be the same again.”

I've had most of these, but not all. For instance, I'd never get rid of my books, even if I've mislaid a few. Also, I don't want to buy ALL the books, just the ones I like (or love).

A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.

Dan Zemke, 28, of Detroit has been a fan of Doctor Who for years. He's wanted to build a replica of the show's TARDIS, or Time And Relative Dimension in Space time machine, for a while now.
On Saturday, he'll unveil his version: The 10-foot tall, 1-ton structure will serve as a shared library at the corner of Vermont and Warren in Detroit's historic Woodbridge neighborhood.

The creative life is fraught with worries, doubts and other challenges that can easily cause a person to avoid creating.
It’s challenging to work on a novel for years in a world already filled with books or to share another image when it seems everybody is a photographer.
When we do work that doesn’t turn out, we might feel frustrated or sad. When we don’t know how to complete a project, we might feel anxious or defeated.
Here are 10 tips for bravely manifesting your potential, creating deeply and regularly, and living your life as an everyday creative person.
