About this book

It's not easy to pick the last entry on a list like this. Especially since, by this point, there's not much meat left on the bone. And by meat, we meat something you'll enjoy. From this point onwards there's a rapid descent into bonfire material. If you do a quick Google search for A Discovery of Witches, you'll find that – despite being a bestseller – opinions on the book are divided into two camps: Those that'd prefer to read a kama sutra book written by Edward Cullen and those that enjoyed it. The consensus is that the book is difficult to read, but will charm you into liking it. If you let it. Naturally, there's a vampire. And naturally, there's a girl who falls for said vampire. The interesting thing about the plot is that the action happens after the main character – Diana Bishop – discovers a Book Of The Magicknesses and Things. There's some actual research (!) behind the plot and enough twists to provide you with a more than satisfactory reading experience. If nothing else, it'll appeal to your inner love of reading – that love affair with the written word that has the power to cause great change.
