Pick 6: magic

Let's start out the year with excitement and wonder. And what better way to do that than with a book filled with magic? Some of these books feature a whole fantasy world populated by faeries and witches. Others have a small element of magic existing in an otherwise familiar world. No matter how it is represented, magic sparks our imagination and suggests that anything is possible. Here are six books published in the past six months that feature some form of magic.

Six new magical novels

1. Chasing the Shy Town by Erika McGann
2. Golemcrafters by Emi Watanabe Cohen
3. The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles by Steve Behling
4. The Grimsbane Family Witch Hunters by 
5. When Wishes Were Horses by Cynthia Voight
6. The Night Librarian by Christopher Lincoln

It's a new year. Let's try new things

 When I started this blog ten years ago, I established a set structure for book reviews that I've followed ever since. It's worked for me thus far but recently I've found it more confining than helpful. So I've decided that 2025 is the year of new things. We're going to experiment with some different formats and find the one that works going forward. I'd love to hear any feedback you have as I implement these changes.
