Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #342: The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

 



Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From Amazon:

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.

But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten 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 must delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.

There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow is expected to be published October 13th, 2020 by Orbit.

Why am I waiting on this book? I like books about witches. And this one seems particularly apt in an election year.

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

  1. I've been so interested in this one! I haven't been reading a lot of fantasy/paranormal lately, but witch fiction in October seems than appropriate.

    1. I love a good witchy book in October. And your pick sounds really good too. Arsenic and Adobo looks like it has some interesting twists to a cozy.
