Thoughts while listening: 
  • The dynamic is already so cute between them 
  • Marianne’s brother is a dick 
  • they are so shy around eachother uwu
  • I already feel like Connell is gonna disappoint me 
  • Because of the authors accent in this audio book I just keep thinking Marianne is Soirise Ronan 
  • How did Connell not punch the guy that sexually harassed Marianne wtf…
  • Karen is such a good friend 
  • RACHEL IS A BITCH
  • Connell saying he would never hurt her… i am scared bc I feel like he will break her heart 
  • HE LOVES HER 😭
  • Pop off Lorraine Connell needs to hear that’s she’s disappointed and ashamed of him after he asked Rachel to the Deb’s like wtf
  • My heart hurts for Marianne 
  • The part where they meet again at college is so cuteeee
  • I don’t understand what the reservation they have around being bf/gf and falling in love like why would that be a bad thing?
  • Why can’t he just communicate 😭 if he just voiced how he felt they’d be living together and not broken up
  • When Connell tells Marianne he’s had a gf for 6 weeks and didn’t tell her why am I tearing up why does he love the other woman 😭
  • Helen is soooo jealous 
  • Lucas seems self absorbed 
  • Marianne reminds me so much of the sub that went crazy after Christian dumped her in Fifty Shades of Grey lol 
  • This is making me depressed lmao 
  • Connell’s random profession of love took me out 
  • Him saying he’s a much better person because of her 🄺
  • HER STOPPING SEX BC HE WOULDNT HIT HER WHATTT
  • poor depressed Connell 
  • Lorraine saying Connell is the best thing that she’s ever done 😭
  • CONNEL PICKING UP MARIANNE AFTER ALLEN BREAKS HER NOSE 
  • idk why they just can’t do long distance for a year while he’s in New York 
  • The ending was so unsatisfying I’m kinda pissed off lmao 
Overall they are so perfect for each other, but they just can’t communicate. It’s frustrating as a reader because you’re just shouting at them to say how you feel. My rating is what it is because of that.

  • I hope Rudy and Lesiel end up kissing I ship them
  • Her papa is so sweet, the fact that he would hold her every night and the night she wet the bed 😭 he found her book and read it to her omgg 
  • I’m crying when her papa slapped her after she said she hates hitler. I know he is doing it for her protection bc they were in public but oh my god it’s like a betrayal of her trust in him a little 
  • The mayors wife with the books is so cute 🄺
  • I figured their would be death in this book but I do not think I’m mentally ready lmao 
  • I love Rudy and Lisle’s friendship 
  • I feel like the mayors wife leaves the window unlocked on purpose so Lesile can take the books 
  • It definitely was conflicting how they didn’t want max to die because they care about him but also because it would be awful to try and dispose of the body 
  • Her papa leaving for war is so sad I can’t do this  
  • The fact that her mom dad and Rudy all died in one swoop by a bomb destroyed me
  • Leisel finding max in the swarm of Jews is making me cry it’s so wholesome but she’s going to get him killed

  • Papas dying who’s basically to hold Liesel and read her book I’m sobbing
  • I knew she would kiss Rudy once he died but I’m too emotional for this rn
  • Her and max meeting up at the end was my saving grace <3

I have always found the Pagan religion fascinating. Ever since I was little mixing soaps in the bathtub and lighting paper with little things written on them. I always had a wild imagination but growing up and reading about paganism was like a breath of fresh air as an adult. Though I consider myself a baby witch, food magick has always been my safe space. You always feel better after your mom made you a cup of soup when you were sick? And she said it was made with love? That’s what magic in the kitchen means to me. I have always loved baking goodies or cooking for my friends and family putting my love and happiness into my cooking and seeing their own happiness shine through. This book is expanding on that thought and taught me so much more about magick and cooking with intention. 

Thoughts: 
- All of the passages about the ancient Sumerians were so interesting I love history and especially cooking history so that was super neat. I feel like the Roman and Greek god worshipping chapters were my favorite. 
- I tried the recipes for ā€œavoiding exhaustion spice mixā€ (that I happily added to my popcorn). And the Healing spell salad dressing after a work out and was thoroughly refreshed. 
- The last thing I made was Demeter’s Vegetarian Feast with my mom. It was fun bonding time and such a delicious treat. 

If you are ever curious about witchcraft, I have to recommend this book. It is perfect for beginners and  I love the history aspect. I can’t wait to make more recipes from this book I have annotated it so much!  Overall loved this read!

Thoughts (Spoilers ahead): 
-  Why on earth would Noemi’s dad wanna put Catalina in a mental hospital if her husband might be poisoning her 😭

- Why do I ship Catalina and Francis it’s so cuteee 
- This book also reminds me of the movie ready or not 
- Whyyy did she tell them about the sleeping tonic? Like tell them you have no idea what the vial is 😭 LIE
- I wonder if Virgil’s life line is tied to Catalina’s in some way and that’s why he said you’ve injured her tonight you’ve injured me 
- I love Francis sm if something happens to my boy I’m about to riot 
- Virgil molesting her while she was in the bathtub freaked me the fuck out and made me sick to my stomach 
- Okay I really liked the build up and the mystery of this book but all of the sexual assault has made me not like it any more like this wasn’t nessisary to progress the story or have intrigue 
- I know Francis obviously didn’t have a choice but I’m heart broken he should’ve forced her to leave 😭 I’m crying

- Thank god Noemi doesn’t loose her spunk through all this she’s a fighter 
- If Noemi can’t get Francis out I’m about to be pissed tf OFF
- SHE SHOULDVE KILLED VIRGIL WITH THE STRAIGHT RAZOR MY GOD
