Magic in the Alley | Mary Calhoun

Pickpick

I loved this book growing up, and it definitely encouraged my ongoing love affair with alleys 😂 I hadn't read this one in several years, and it was super fun to revisit. Cleery buys a box of magic at a flea market, and accidentally magics a stuffed crow into being alive - and able to talk - but not able to fly. With an enchantment of being able to find something magical in every new alley she visits that summer, she and her best friend set off ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to find a cure for Crow. This is just a cute, fun book with little adventures in every chapter. Thoroughly enjoyable.

MaGoose I never read this one when I was younger. I'll have to make up for that and track down a copy, either at the library or the bookstore. Sounds very interesting. 7d

tpixie How lovely. I loved Edgar Eager books! Half- Magic & (edited) 7d
TheAromaofBooks @MaGoose - It's nothing fancy, just a super fun little MG story!! 7d
TheAromaofBooks @tpixie - Yes!! This was published later (1970) than his books, but it has a very similar vibe. 7d
TiredLibrarian That look of old children's library books ❤️ 7d

LeahBergen Oooh, you‘ve reminded me that this is on my “hunt down” list! 😆 7d
willaful @LeahBergen @MaGoose Unfortunately, it's quite hard to find because it never made it into paperback. :-( My husband once literally xeroxed and bound it for me! Check the Internet Archive. 6d
MaGoose @willaful Thanks, that's good to know. I'll be diligent about finding a copy. 6d

I‘m not sure how this one got on my radar. 3 sisters are witches and run a tea shop telling their customers fortunes. They get enrolled by the head witches to help 3 witches find their task in life. They have to finish their task to not turn into ghosts once they die. The 3 sisters at the same time are following their passions but not sharing it with each other.

Got some #bookmail yesterday afternoon. Just browsing the pages and the beautiful illustrations, I know I‘m saving this book for a palette cleanse.

Absolutely enjoyed this this one!
This feels like a classic folk tale, what with Agatha having to take on missions/adventures to win favors from the Fae, intertwined into Agatha's every day life in her sleepy little village.

I truly loved the water colors and character designs. Everything was just a treat to look at. I really enjoyed Hyacinth the most and wouldn't have minded more of them.

I am finishing up my last 2 books of the year the next 2 days, and I will not be doing my best of until I finish them, but I do know how I did with my 2024 goals in general.
161/100 books ✔🎉
51,222/50K pages ✔🎉
45% US ✔ 🎉
I Started out strong with my Jose Saramago goal, but only ended up reading 3 of 12. I lost track of the classics I was going to read, but know of at least 4 I didn't get to. I own them all so will roll them over to 25.

cariashley Wow, this is super impressive, well done! 1mo
imthatniki Which Saramago novel did you enjoy the most? 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @imthatniki I still have not read 3 of his, but over the years I have read most - I love his writing, and my favorite still (and one of my very favorite books of all time) is 1mo

imthatniki Ohhh Thanks! 😊 I'll try that one day 1mo
BarbaraBB Well done. I find Saramago very hard to read even though I loved 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB Blindness is so good but so dark. I reread it this year and it definitely hits differently after living in a pandemic. He has a few more hopeful ones, I read and enjoyed for the first time this year more of a comedy 1mo
BarbaraBB Thanks! I‘ll check out that one! 1mo
CoverToCoverGirl Amazing! 🎉💙 1mo

Time to go on a journey

bumpinthenight This is a beautiful cover! 1mo
Darklunarose @bumpinthenight t is and the inside is as nicely illustrated too 1mo
DogMomIrene That cover is gorgeous! Looking forward to your review. 1mo
Darklunarose @DogMomIrene 40 pages in. All I‘m getting is a ton more places in my “if I ever travel list” and a heap of ideas that would make great documentaries….so far so good! 1mo
DogMomIrene @Darklunarose That sounds so excellent! Perfect book to read as we transition to a new year. 1mo
