3.8 A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
For me, A Discovery of Witches is like the better, more adult version of Twilight that will keep you coming back time and time again. This is the first of four books, although the fifth is coming out later this year. It is fantasy with a little spice set in modern day. The female main character, Diana is an historian of alchemy and a witch who stumbles upon a bewitched book that draws the attention of all creatures, witches, vampires, and daemons alike. There is love, action, intrigue, and you will honestly fall in love with these characters and the story. I can't wait for you to read this.

Other things to do
Something to listen to: Continuing on my politics podcast kick, I find the guys on Pod Save America to be really funny and informative. It can definitely get dark and the episodes are long, but if you are in the mood, it is perfect.
Something else to read: The Maid by Nita Prose. I read this last year and now it is being made into a movie with Florence Pugh!
Something to watch: I haven’t started it yet, but there is now a show based on A Discovery of Witches that I am going to start watching.
