I can't believe we're actually doing this in October. I know. Good for us. And early. It's only like mid-October.

0:36.2

Look at us. Yeah. Look at us. Well, this book was very easy to get

0:39.7

through. It was very easy to finish. I really enjoyed it. Yeah. Well, the book we're talking about

0:45.8

is the very secret society of a regular witches, which was highly recommended on Reddit when I had

0:51.8

Googled cozy, charming witch vibes. Oh, very

0:56.9

And you said it was big on TikTok. Yeah, I definitely saw a few TikToks about it. I know that the author

1:01.5

also has another, I think, similar book. Yes, which I actually read. Oh, was it all as good or

1:07.2

better? Right after. Yes, I really liked it. Oh, nice. But different characters, different story. Different, totally different characters. Okay. But same vibe? Like a witchy vibe? Very similar vibe. Actually, different ways of talking about magic, which I thought was really cool. So I would recommend, if you liked this first one, definitely read the second one. What's it called?

absolutely delightful. I loved it because it was very, like you said, it was a cozy. It would fit the

vibe of fall. It was English, which we know. Love. Love. The characters were just all so sweet and endearing like it really just felt like a hug

2:17.6

Like, this is perfect.

2:18.9

Absolutely.

2:19.7

What I really liked about it, too, was that it was very charming and easy to read,

2:24.9

but it didn't feel like we were being talked down to.

2:28.7

No, no.

2:29.7

It wasn't like a trashy beach read. It was still sophisticated.

2:36.3

Exactly. Exactly. With so many like layers and charm. I loved it. I loved to me. And I don't know if this is just because like I am not well. But I feel I was reading it with such, I felt like she was really touching on current events, like politically, socially.
