Welcome to all of the witchy book-lovers here in the forum! 📚 🧙 ❤ ✨ **Book Club 47** ✨ → Reading Session: April 3st - April 30th ← → Review Session: May 1st - May 31st ← Thank you again to everyone who joined in for last month’s reading session! For those who haven’t yet shared their thoughts about their book (or anyone who enjoys reading book reviews!) you still have time to do so in [📝 46th Spells8 Book Club - Readers’ Reviews!](https://forum.spells8.com/t/46th-spells8-book-club-readers-reviews/60281) As of today, the **47th book club reading session has now begun**! ![spells8 book club](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/1/a1e1bf965cd5598fc1f6ec6bf69710a59bf96b28.png) ## **On Your Mark, Get Set, READ!** 📚 1. **Begin by announcing your book** The first post below is an editable wiki post- add your book title and name to the list! (instructions below) 2. **Know that you have [[the whole month]] in this reading session** While it is great if you can finish your book during this time, it is okay if you break it into chapters or sections- do as much as you can and know that doing your best is always good enough! 3. **As you’re reading, feel free to share your thoughts!** You are very welcome to share any thoughts or tidbits while you read in the comments below or in a new post in the forums. Just save the best parts for the final discussion at the end of the reading period! 4. **Join the final discussion** When the month is over, a discussion post will open encouraging all readers to share a review of their book and any personal thoughts they have about it. A mini-review is perfectly fine, and there will be a suggested format for anyone who would like to write a longer review. ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/e/3/e3ee7b4dac26bb35975c695f38aed223cfcb894a.jpeg) ## A note about sharing books: While everyone is free to choose their own book, you may consider _reading along with someone else_ ! It is fun to share thoughts and insights about different books and even more exciting to do in-depth about a book with fellow readers 🤝 If the book you plan to read is already on the list below, add your name to the list of others reading that book! Please keep in mind that everyone will reconvene and chat together in the Reader’s Reviews discussion, regardless of which book you read 📚 * * * ## Not sure what to read?

I’ve added my book, Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn. I’ve had the audiobook for awhile but I’m not getting through it easily. I have a paperback arriving tomorrow. ---

@WrenEve - **Psychic Witch** is a pretty good book! I’m not too keen on Matt’s belief system, but his exercises for psychic development and energy work are very solid. I hope you enjoy it! ---

Here’s my entry! Im going to put the name of the book in Spanish, since I dont know the title in english. Im currently reading “ **Hécate, la diosa de las brujas** ” by Courtney Weber (the translation would be “Hecate, the goddess of the witches”) I’ll add it ---
