I’d have to say that this chat was one of my favorites! I just loved talking about witches and magic!

Happy Spooky Sunday and welcome to our #CGBChat about #books with #witches! I know we all feel the magic that stories about witches have to offer, so question number 1 is: What do you think makes stories about witches so magical? pic.twitter.com/eNV2IBSNGS

Question 2: Do you consider terms like wizard, mage, magician, and witch to be synonymous? Or is there something special that makes a "witch"? #CGBchat pic.twitter.com/okShfMGyDR

If you love getting monthly newsletters with updates, make sure you sign up for the Calendar Girls newsletter!

For those who are new to Calendar Girls, it is a monthly blog event that was inspired by the Neil Sedaka song, Calendar Girl. Just like the song, each month has a specific theme, voted on by the participants, where we get to talk about a particular book we love or think fits the theme the best. The blog event was created to incite fun bookish discussions and to spread the blogger love by introducing us to new bloggers and/or books that we have not come across before.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, make sure to head to my Calendar Girls info page! Drop a comment and let me know if you are interested in joining us.
