Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Tuesday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it looks like this is going to be another three part post (oops). It turns out that in addition to not being able to choose my favorite covers (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>) of 2021, I also cannot choose my favorite books of the year! (or at least not just ten of them) Today’s post covers my top eleven standalone books I read in 2021<\/strong>, and there will be more posts later this week that cover my top twelve through my top thirty one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.
\nBut when the Eastwood sisters--James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna--join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote-and perhaps not even to live-the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.
\nThere's no such thing as witches. But there will be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
