So, I would recommend reading Garden Spells first to fully appreciate it. Thanks for visiting, Joy!

Yes, as I was reading it, I kept thinking of Practical Magic…one of my favorite movies. (I've never read the book..shame on me!) Anyway, I agree that Allen's books are charming and sweet…not something that will necessarily "wow" you, but something that is entertaining and feel-good. I hope you get to read this one soon!

I knew you'd be reading this one, from one of your lists, and I'm glad you've enjoyed it. It's not thrilling material (definitely can get boring, at times), but I thought the story of the sisters was sweet.
