I used to love the worst witch (books and TV show) along with Sabrina etc. so much witchy goodness in the 90s 🤭

My niece is loving The Worst Witch, and I found this full set for her at the charity shop today. My sister and I loved these too.

I have no clue why I ordered this middle grade book, I don't go out of my way to read these. Good quick Halloween read the story is cute and hold up incredibly well - pub'd in 1974 but could easily have been written today. I loved the misadventures of Mildred and how she is a nice, well meaning but clumsy character.

Went to a local bookstore in Les Sables d'Olonne to find some books for my nieces... Of course, I chose to read them first, haha.
3.5/5 for this book, the first of a series. It's a quick and entertaining read, with some humor.

#bookhaul day file this one under Why did I order that??? Zero memory of why, or putting it in cart, I do not read kids books this looks like a middle grade maybe? It's tiny though.

Watching the 1986 HBO version of The Worst Witch. The best/worst Halloween movie ever created. 😜

Readathon weekend.. im starting tonight with this reread. 🧙‍♀️🧹🐈‍⬛🎃

Author passed away.

Rest in Peace to this amazing woman who brought much joy to my childhood and many others. Your stories will be passed on and enjoyed 📚❤📖

My daughters name is Jill Murphy ( she‘s a nurse though , not a writer ) & granddaughter here is another Murphy .... and this is Sofia‘s first book that we are reading together. She‘s doing it.
I said .... ‘Look at you ... reading a book !!!( a book you‘ve never seen before ) ‘
Great excitement ! I‘m only helping a small bit.
We had a great day 💕

Thanks for the tag @Klou 😊 #wondrouswednesday

1. Believe it or not, I watched Hocus Pocus for the very first time. (Nicky & Sadie liked the cat best. 😸)

2. Kidlit (the tagged book).

Wanna play, @quietjenn @Sace ?

Watched an episode of The Worst Witch this evening. 6pts.🎃 #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Mailed out my #Halloweencardswap packages today! 🎃 Totally forgot the post office is closed today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ @rather_be_reading

I have the day off today and am trying to do a little reading while my e-reader also doubles as a cat pillow. How is this comfortable?! I think Halloween season is my favorite time to read, hands down. #huey #catsoflitsy #halloween

Signed up for my first Litsy swap! #Halloweencardswap 👻🎃

Now that's the Miss Hardbroom I remember. Been watching the Netflix shows and figured I'd return to the originals. 🧙🏻‍♀️

one of my only childhood decisions I approve of
this novel is great for kids and adults, it has amazing lessons on life, growing up and how to make the beat out of a bad situation
it always manages to make me feel better
the mix of magic and put unadulterated childlike emotion bubbles over like a cauldron of nostalgia
9/10 - better than harry potter

The second book was between a pick and a so-so for me, but because of the illustrations it is still a pick. I read the second part in German, because I got a cute German edition so time ago.
In the second book Mildred meets a new student and as funny as she is as confusing she is. She wants to get into trouble all the time and if Mildred wants to stay, she shouldn't provoke the teachers anymore. 😊

Such a cute story about a little chaotic witch. 😍💕

If you don't know, which book you should read first, read them all at the same time... #bookishproblem #beingabookwormisahardlife #somanybookssolittletime #sorrynotsorry

After feeling fairly lukewarm to the first one, this was an improvement. I found myself laughing out loud in a few parts, which is always good! A cute book - nice bedtime reading fodder.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2 books and 5 hours down. #24B4Monday #Readathon

I used to love the movie growing up and I recently saw therw is a TV show on Netflix. I didn't know they were based on a book, so of course I had to pick it up. These two were cast quiet well.

Readathon plans go off track as plans tend to do. Oh well. #24B4Monday

If you have children and love audiobooks then this might be the week for you as #Audible are having a kids daily deal week.

So nostalgic! I loved reading these as a kid and coming home from school and watching the show on CITV. Bought back memories and I remembered more than I thought. Made doing housework a bit more fun! 😁 #booked2018 #childhoodfavourite

Time for a touch of nostalgia. Cross-stitching and watching The Worst Witch. A great way to spend a Friday morning at home. ❤️

I loved reading these when I was younger and now Bella is loving the exploits of Mildred Hubble too #witchybrews #hallowreads #raisingreaders

Finally got in a seasonal read of my own 🎃 cute book! I was surprised by the lack of explanation on how Mildred arrives at school; it just jumps right into her mishaps there. The Netflix series seems to associate her background with why she's the worst witch. Does that all come out in later books? Overall a simple chapter book with an imaginative setting. I'll read onwards. #mommyreads #witches #chapterbook #ripxii #littensdressedinblood

1. About 30
2. Between 300 and 400 pages send to be the sweet spot

8. The first book I remember getting completely lost in is The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy (I read right through a maths lesson!)
@Josie

Got the set for my girlie

This Netflix series is adorable 😍 Clearly I need to read the books. Any thoughts on how they compare? #booksontv #netflix

I loved Jill Mirphy's Worst Witch series when I was a little girl and still love the movie adaptation with Tim Curry (part of my personal annual Halloween film festival!), but I was ecstatic when I found out #Netflix brought it back in a series form! Loving it so far!! #nostalgia #theworstwitch #screenadaptations

Not quite as cute as the first in the series but my daughter and I enjoyed reading it together.

Before the school of witchcraft and wizardry known as Hogwarts, there was Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. Oh how I loved joining Mildred on her adventures. She wasn't 'terrible' at being a witch bless her 😌💜

#bookssetinaschool #booktober #witchcraft

Loved reading this one with my daughter. It was a great lead up to Halloween. We can't wait to start the next one together!

"Mildred Hubble was in her first year at the school. She was one of those people who always seem to be in trouble. She didn't exactly mean to break rules and annoy teachers, but things just seemed to happen whenever she was around."

The Worst Witch series featuring #disastrouskid, Mildred, was one of my favorites growing up. #octphotochallenge #disastrouskids

@LibrarianRyan

After finding out Netflix are making this into a new series, I decided to revisit this gem from my childhood. I was not disappointed – it's still a brilliant read! #theworstwitch #childrensbooks

Opening line:
"Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches stood at the top of a high mountain surrounded by a pine forest." #bookgnome #jillmurphy #theworstwitch

Back from a charity shop browse.... some books for the kids. ...and just one for me. :)

Absolutely loved these stories as a child. I've got the first two in paperback but couldn't resist this hardcover edition from the charity shop. Time to introduce the 8yo and the 6yo to Mildred Hubble... 👏
