“Niceness is all about what we do when other people are looking. Kindness, on the other hand, runs deep. Kindness is what happens when no one’s looking.”

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

November 22, 2024 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

I have been in a bit of a slump lately..my life has felt heavy, and so did my books. Not physically, but both my monthly book club selection (Heaven and Earth Grocery) and a read along with a friend (Beartown) cover darker topics and I needed a break!  I was craving some whimsy and lightness and this book was just what I needed. It’s a cozy, warm, found family fantasy (alliteration) that will bring a smile to your face. Mika Moon is a witch in Britain, […]

A warm, cozy, romantic story about magic and family.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu. Mandanna

February 27, 2024 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I’ve been wanting to read Sangu Mandanna’s The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches for months. One of the reasons I decided to join the Diverse Baseline Challenge this year was to give myself permission to read the books I already have that are not arcs. The Very Secret Society fit one of the prompts for February, a book by a BIPOC author with found family. At the Cannonball Read 16 Romance Zoom Saturday night, I tried to explain why I love romance. Afterwards, I thought of how […]

A Cozy Story that Won’t Stress You Out

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

May 28, 2023 by genericwhitegirl 1 Comment

I must have felt like I needed a book hug, since I chose this one, which was described as a cozy read. I’ve heard of cozy mysteries and have been curious about the quaint worlds they inhabit. To be clear this is not a cozy mystery, it’s a cozy story – a gateway drug of sorts into cozy mysteries. This is a story about Mika, a witch who lives in England. Mike meets with other witches, in a sort of bi-monthly support group, but members […]

Give me all the cozy fantasy you have.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

Such a cozy, heartwarming read. I’m so glad I read this, and that I saved it for my Christmas read (even though I barely got any reading done at all on Christmas Eve or Day, because I somehow always forget that my mother does not read and needs to be entertained—anyway we spent all day doing a 1,000 piece Christmas puzzle and then watched Glass Onion, and it was all very good but I wish I could have read more of this book). If you […]
