Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is BOOK COVERS WITH FALL COLORS\/VIBES!<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love cover based themes! It’s cooled off here in southern Maine, and I’m feeling very fall aesthetic-y right now. I LOVED going through all the covers on goodreads to find everything for today’s post, but uh… I couldn’t narrow it down to ten. I did manage to narrow it down to twenty-five though! And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/span><\/p>\n

A young adult fiction anthology of 15 stories featuring contemporary, historical, and futuristic stories featuring witchy heroines who are diverse in race, class, sexuality, religion, geography, and era.
\nAre you a good witch or a bad witch?<\/i>
\nGlinda the Good Witch. Elphaba the Wicked Witch. Willow. Sabrina. Gemma Doyle. The Mayfair Witches. Ursula the Sea Witch. Morgan le Fey. The three weird sisters from Macbeth<\/i>.
\nHistory tells us women accused of witchcraft were often outsiders: educated, independent, unmarried, unwilling to fall in line with traditional societal expectations.
\nBold. Powerful. Rebellious.
\nA bruja\u2019s traditional love spell has unexpected results. A witch\u2019s healing hands begin to take life instead of giving it when she ignores her attraction to a fellow witch. In a terrifying future, women are captured by a cabal of men crying witchcraft and the one true witch among them must fight to free them all. In a desolate past, three orphaned sisters prophesize for a murderous king. Somewhere in the present, a teen girl just wants to kiss a boy without causing a hurricane.
\nFrom good witches to bad witches, to witches who are a bit of both, this is an anthology of diverse witchy tales from a collection of diverse, feminist authors. The collective strength of women working together\u2014magically or mundanely--has long frightened society, to the point that women\u2019s rights are challenged, legislated against, and denied all over the world. Toil & Trouble<\/i> delves deep into the truly diverse mythology of witchcraft from many cultures and feminist points of view, to create modern and unique tales of witchery that have yet to be explored.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
