Spells8 54th Book Club 📚 November 2025

Welcome to all of the witchy book-lovers here in the forum!

:books: :mage: :heart:

:sparkles: Book Club 54 :sparkles:
Reading Session: November 1st - November 30th ←
Review Session: December 1st - December 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 :memo: 53rd Spells8 Book Club - Readers’ Reviews!

As of today, the 54th book club reading session has now begun !

On Your Mark, Get Set, READ! :books:

  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.

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 :handshake:

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 :books:


Spells8 Reading Room :books:

The Spells8 Reading Room will open once a week for one hour to come together and read as a coven.

It was great! We should put it on the list for new witches to check out!

I think that’s a great idea! :clap:

I think Rebel Witch should go on it too! The Scott Cunningham one is great as is a few others, but it’s nice to put newer ones on it too!

This sounds good! I’m off to Amazon to put it on my list! Thanks!

Ohh yes, that’s another great book! I think I might start compiling a list of newer books to see about adding them to the post we have of books for new witches. Thank you for the suggestions! If you have any others, feel free to send them my way!

This book has been on my TBR for a long while :heart: I’m happy to see your thoughts on it and that it seems like a good book so far!


I’m hoping to get some reading done in my book today – to be honest, it’s been too long since I picked it up that I might have to start over :sweat_smile:

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Witch Life: A Practical Guide to Making Every Day Magical by Emma Kathryn.

It’s been more than a year since I’ve read it, but I do know that it impressed me, and I thought it deserved to be added to the newbie book section!
