That one is in my TBR stack and I am very much looking forward to it. I read A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping as part of a romantasy book club.

Personally both The Sound of Silence and Land of Confusion by Disturbed are masterpieces. I also really enjoy Blue Monday by Orgy and Lyric Noel’s version of Cry Little Sister.

Better safe than sorry. Hopefully, it won’t cause a postponement of tonight’s game.

My witchy season potential reads, I say potential because I am not certain they will all get read this witchy season. But I think I might just extend witchy season into November. #BookSky #ReaderSky #witchyreads

On a table top are copies of four books; at the top left is Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman, the top right is The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, the bottom left is The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin, and the bottom right book is Wild is the Witch also by Rachel Griffin.

@nwslsoccer.com & @nwslplayers.bsky.social
want to know what has stood out to me the most about tonight’s match between the Reign and Courage so far? Gary Bailey referring to Jayden Shaw being sold to Gotham FC. Incredibly inappropriate choice of words. #nwsl
