Book Club
Welcome to the new and improved Lady Jayne’s Bewitchery Book Club for 2022.
The mission of this group is read a new book every month, in a mystical genre, to expand our knowledge, as well as our magical libraries, through the pleasure of reading.
My hope is for this to be an actively participatory group; that as we read through our selection each month, we post comments, ask each other questions, share impressions, and the like.
When introducing each monthly selection, I will share links for purchasing. Please note that I do not sell books at this time, so all purchase links will be to other vendors.
Selections have NOT been pre-read by me unless otherwise indicated, so these are not endorsements, just titles that looked interesting.
Once I read the book, during the course of the month along with the rest of you, if I enjoy it, I will post my review of the book on my blog and will share the link in our group and across social media.
Every month’s book selection will be announced on the New Moon, and we will begin reading on the Full Moon. This allows two weeks for everyone to obtain the book, which is more than ample time*. We will be reading from Full Moon to Full Moon which means while we are reading our book, we will be purchasing the next month’s book to be ready for the next month. (*most traditional book clubs announce the book at the start of the month, and it must be purchased and read within the month. My system allows us two week to obtain the book and a month to read and discuss.)
Each month I will post the dates (n the Facebook Group linked below) as well as links for purchasing the selection. I personally always try to purchase books directly from the author, which at times means you receive a signed copy, and even when not, cutting out the middleman puts more of the cost directly into the author’s pocket. Check the author’s website as well as if they have an Etsy shop in lieu of selling off a personal site. On Etsy make sure that it is the author themselves who runs the shop and it is not someone else profiting off of their wares. There is a LOT of piracy on Etsy.
My next recommendation for purchasing books is your local metaphysical store or favorite online magical shop. While we may count on these businesses for candles, cauldrons, and oils, they need our support and remembering to purchase our books from them as well, can help keep them in business, and earning enough to make it through these harsh times.
Indie bookstores often carry mystical books, or are willing to order them in for you, and they too really need our support.
I do my best to avoid shopping through Amazon, so when I have to go the major company route, I usually end up purchasing through Barnes and Noble.
This book club is designed to be of service to my magical community. It is a heartfelt gift of my time, research, and energy. I do not profit in any way from this club. That being said, if the club goes silent and does not seem to be of interest or of service, it will be disbanded.
So glad you are all here with me. This is going to be awesome!
