Chap 4&5 #ADOW

Diana is really slow on the uptake in figuring out why daemons, vampires and other witches have suddenly developed a huge interest in her every action.

She heads out on the river to row, but cannot shake Matthew. He pops up everywhere she goes. So she does the only sensible thing: looks him up on Google and phones a scientist friend to get all the gossip on him.

Made some applesauce tonight with the apples we picked!

vonnie862 Ooh! I bet your applesauce is delicious! 3y
BennettBookworm Nothing beats homemade applesauce!! 3y
MoonWitch94 Homemade applesauce is the best! And I remember the first time I read this part, thinking “Really, Diana? C‘mon Girl!” 🤣 3y

Chapter 2: Both the reader and Diana meet 🧛‍♀️ Matthew Clairmont for the first time. His scent of clove & cinnamon made me light a pumpkin spice candle. 🤣 Her aunts are exasperated at yet another creature drawn to her.

Chap 3: The first chapter from Matthew‘s POV. When he creepily sneaks into Diana‘s apt while she is sleeping, he ends up spellbound by her luminous outpouring, and almost forgets to search for Ashmole 782.

#adowrtr buddy read Chap 1!

I read #ADOW when it first came out, but never continued the series. Not sure why!

I love how Harkness incorporates real things and people. Ashmole 782 is an actual missing manuscript the Bodleian library lost. Rebecca Bishop, Diana‘s ancestor in the story, was the first woman executed in the Salem witch trials. I love the blending of reality and fantasy.

Next up, Mabon! #AllSouls

MoonWitch94 Agreed! My favorite genres are Historical Fiction & Fantasy, so this is definitely a blending of the two. Magical HF, I call it. 3y
BayouGirl85 Are you doing a buddy read of this book by chapter?? 3y
MoonWitch94 @BayouGirl85 I‘m hosting a “real-time read” buddy read. We started yesterday. It‘s not every day. Do you want to join us? It‘s very relaxed, no pressure. I can add you to our group if you‘d like. You can find more info on my page. 3y

alisiakae @MoonWitch94 same! It‘s one of the few series that also reminds me a bit of Outlander, a favorite of mine. 3y
alisiakae @BayouGirl85 yes, but it follows the events in the book (everything happens between Sept 18 - Nov 1). You should join us! 3y
MoonWitch94 @4thhouseontheleft yes! I have watched the first two seasons of the show, so now I want to read the books! 3y
BayouGirl85 @MoonWitch94 please add me. I would love to check it out. It‘s one of my favorite series. 3y
MoonWitch94 @BayouGirl85 Okay, Yay! ✨🌙✨ 3y

Pickpick

This book was splendid! It's a #chunkster, but I could hardly put it down. There's so much more insight into how the relationship between Diana and Matthew unfolds than what the tv series shows (of course!). In fact I'm finally understanding many aspects of some of the show's scenes now that I've read the book. 😁 This history nuggets implanted in the book are delightful to this history nut! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have you guys been able to catch A Discovery of Witches on AMC or BBC America? #books #ADOW #Booklover #MatthewGoode

BethM I‘m waiting til next week when my aunt can come over and watch it with me. 6y
annahenke I liked it. Books are better, but that‘s to be expected. 6y
TheBookbabeblog84 @annahenke I love the books have read the series at least eight times lol. And I am okay with the Adaptation. I am still upset about the Marcus and Ysabeau castings. I also, watched the series as it aired in the UK...so I saw it way back in Jan. I‘m but glad that the US is getting to experience the show. 6y
TheBookbabeblog84 @BethM you‘ll have to tell me what you think. I love the show. 6y
