How easy it was to accuse and how difficult to refute the charge of witchcraft! Arthur Miller's The Crucible about Giles Corey still has an effect on me. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-30853535570463917552019-02-10T08:03:23.493-06:002019-02-10T08:03:23.493-06:00The Familiars fascinates and disturbs.

They were interesting to me because I don't read many books set in that part of the U.K. The bleakness reminds me of the similar setting of the Peter May series that I started.<br /><br />I've read several by S. Bolton, some good, some okay, but The Craftsman I had to DNF because it creeped me out too much, lol. I googled Pendle witches after you mentioned them, above. How fascinating! I'd like to learn more about them. I spent one day a long time ago in Salem, MA and we took the kids to the kitschy tourist spots there. Recently my youngest brought it up and said she'd like to go on the cemetery tour around Halloween. <br /><br />Thanks for your choices in books that are usually new to me and give me more to add to the TBR.Phoebe @ My Bookish Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516940841211776660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-69530168968432174912019-02-09T16:26:29.013-06:002019-02-09T16:26:29.013-06:00Oh the Familiars sounds wonderful.

I also liked the idea of Florence in the past and present. I'm hoping Bolton will take Florence into another adventure. I also enjoy books that I can connect with other versions of the same events. Hope the book improves for you!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-37534889134545413532019-02-08T03:09:15.615-06:002019-02-08T03:09:15.615-06:00Hmmm interesting titbit on The craftsman.

Secondly, thanks for linking. I used to read Eurocrime and somehow I quit. I can't think why or how, but I'm again following that blog. The two witchy books sound good, but I'm especially interested in the second one. So, she's 17 and it's her 4 pregnancy. Wow. And also thanks for the tidbit about THE CRAFTSMAN. I've got that book here, but haven't read it yet.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
