I’m reading A Hidden Witch, by Debora Geary. Like its predecessor A Modern Witch, it can best be described as “sweet”: no major drama, just people finding their place in the world, both in terms of growing into their own potential and of being in a community where they’re loved.
At one point in this one, the protagonist goes on a trip to San Franciso and brings back presents for three of her favorite kids. The biblioholic ten-year old boy gets a Kindle with books already loaded on it, and when his twin asks “What is that?” andswers,
“Its to read books. All the books in the world.”
Yeah, that.
(His twin gets a baseball signed by last year’s World Series team. One thing I like here is that it’s an adult book, but the kids get to be unique people who have ideas and hold conversations.
