Amanda and Dayelle are wrapping up their Season of Witches AND Season Two with the captivating book, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness! Amanda loved the book—it’s incredible—but felt the series adaptation fell short especially with the casting. *COUGH*Diana's lack of showing any emotions*COUGH* While Dayelle agrees the book was incredible, she watched the series first so it's hard for her to hate on the casting. So, in the end—Watch it or Read it OR BOTH?!

Dayelle and Amanda continue their Season of Witches with a slight twist. This week it’s all about Escape to Witch Mountain by Alexander Key. So...no witches. BUT Tia and Tony do have powers and the word witch is in the title. Also Amanda couldn't talk about this book without talking about her favorite character, Winkie the black cat. Specifically the 1975 movie adaptation version of Winkie. (The ladies are pretty sure it's the same cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch)

So, grab your hot cocoa (with a splash of bourbon cream for the adults) and join them as they revisit this Sci Fi classic and decide, Watch it or Read it...OR both.

The witchy vibes continue on Watch it or Read it! In this episode, Amanda and Dayelle take a fun trip down memory lane as they revisit The Witches by Roald Dahl, a book both read in elementary school. "In fairy-tales, witches always wear silly black hats... but this is not a fairy-tale. This is about real witches." The original movie adaptation was downright terrifying especially as a kid watching it, while the remake starring Anne Hathaway was a fun twist. So should you watch it, read it, or maybe even both!
