From The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman (via:  gildedautumnvelvet)

I received such a great package from @simonandschuster the other day. Just look at all of this goodness!! 🤗😍 This @yankeecandle smells delicious!! And this book sounds like the perfect autumn read! The Rules of Magic by @ahoffmanwriter releases October 10th! Thank you @simonandschuster for this awesome package! 🤓🖤📖 . 💬Is this one on your TBR? ________________________________________________________ 📖Summary: Find your magic . For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man. . Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk. . From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Back in New York City each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse. . The Owens children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the revered, and sometimes feared, aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy. ________________________________________________________ #therulesofmagic #alicehoffman #practicalmagic #simonandschuster #bookish #bookmail #bookishmerch #bookworm #booknerd #flatlay #vscobooks #fallfeels #autumnvibes #vintagevibes #bookblogger

Hey folks, thought I would share another post today because it’s Friday and why not. All I’ve had to eat is a cup of coffee so I’m feeling a good buzz and reading this lovely novel by @ahoffmanwriter. How is your Friday? . . . . . #booklr #bookstagram #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #currentlyreading #bookphoto #bookphotography #booksandbeans #booksandtea #booksandcoffee #igreads #booksofinstagram #bunchofbookbaristas #booknerdigan #booknerd #bookworm #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #lit #badassbookbabes #therulesofmagic #alicehoffman

I just received my three November picks from @bookofthemonth and along with the books I also got this exclusive candle from @shopcandlefish. Is smells so good! It’s the perfect scent to burn on a cozy autumn night in November while I’m cuddled up in bed with a cup of tea and one of these books. Now I just need to decide which one I will read first. If you are a @bookofthemonth member please tell me which books you picked this month. If you’re not, but you’re interested in being one then may I suggest checking out their website for all the info. Here’s a little tidbit on each of my new books. • • BONFIRE by @therealkrystenritter - A gripping, tightly wound suspense novel about a woman forced to confront her past in the wake of small-town corruption. • • THE RULES OF MAGIC by @ahoffmanwriter - The spellbinding prequel to her bestseller, Practical Magic. However, I hear it works as a stand alone. This time the witches are young and living in New York City in the 60s. • • ARTEMIS by Andy Weir - This book is by the same author who wrote The Martian. This time the protagonist lives on a lunar colony many years in the future. . . . . . #bookofthemonth #BOTMbookbassador #readwithus #BOTM #giftideas #booksubscription #bookclub #bonfire #krystenritter #therulesofmagic #alicehoffman #artemis #andyweir #candlefish #candlefishin #fromwhereisit #bookrecomendation #tbr #iamareader #bibliophile #bookblogger #biblio

Book mail from @bookofthemonth ! I’ll be honest, because I am so bad at keeping up with my unread books AND have run out of shelf space, I don’t keep a subscription very long. What enticed me to go back is wanting an edition of The Rules of Magic to match with my copy of Practical Magic (which I got from the BOTM). HOWEVER, there are so many interesting books on their lists like my pick for this month, Thistlefoot by @_gennarose_ which I’m excited to get to… eventually 😅 I’m a sucker for retold, reinvented, and classic folk tales, fairy tales, legends, and the like. I don’t know much about Baba Yaga but this is definitely an incentive to go learn more. #bookofthemonthclub #botm #therulesofmagic #therulesofmagicalicehoffman #alicehoffmanbooks #thistlefoot #babayaga #jewishfolklore #magic #folklore #retellingstories #bookstagram #mybooks #tbr #athousandbookstoreadblog https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_xAc2JV_4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Rules of Magic. Fan casting? Sure! Soooooo The Rules of Magic is a prequel to Practical Magic about the Aunts by @ahoffmanwriter. Sooooo for casting I went with @annehathaway as Aunt Jet and @emmastone Stone as Aunt Frances with @nicholashoult as Vincent …. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’d watch it 😂 . . . . . #practicalmagic #annehathaway #emmastone #nicholashoult #therulesofmagic #alicehoffman #mikeyadam #art #digitalart #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #drawing #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artistsofinstagram #procreate #instagramart #instagramartist #gayartist #gayart https://www.instagram.com/p/CVCDX6_jWXg/?utm_medium=tumblr

New #review #TheRulesofMagic by #AliceHoffman I am in love with these books and the movie (I wish they'd made the other books into movies too!). I can't wait for the fourth book to come out. I loved getting to know more about Franny and Jet and their 'lost' brother Vincent - the first and so far only wizard in the Owens lineage. The details in the book are fabulous as you delve into all of their romances and relationships. You really get to know them well, which helps you understand them better in #PracticalMagic. Hoffman's writing style is super evocative and she paints a beautiful picture of the people and their surroundings. I've always wanted to live in the Owens House, and in a way, these books and the movie give me a chance to do that. . . . . . . #goodreads #Amazon #bookreview #iheartbooks #readingisfundamental #kindle #book #books #readallthebooks #booklover #bookworm #bookwrym #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookslover #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readyourbooks #readabook #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CPpbDd4nmXh/?utm_medium=tumblr
