The Dead Read the Last Book of the Year
The clocks have moved over an hour and while we all work to recover, a new book has made its way into our TBR piles. From an eery short horror to the book we'll read through some of the shortest and darkest days of the year, Liber Coven is reading The Dead Take the A Train by Richard Kadrey and Cassandra Khaw.
"Julie is desperate for a quick fix to break the dead-end grind and save her friend. But her power grab sets off a deadly chain of events that puts Sarah – and the entire world - directly in the path of annihilation."
Can you handle the weirdness of the NYC magic scene? Exorcisms, demons, and more await!

Let's Get Spooky!
We're falling into spooky season with a classic horror. As the leaves change and we start pretending it's cooler outside than it is, we're cracking open The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
"Dr Jekyll is a kind, well-respected and intelligent scientist who meddles with the darker side of science, as he wants to bring out his 'second' nature. He does this through transforming himself into Mr Hyde - his evil alter ego who doesn't repent or accept responsibility for his evil crimes and ways. Jekyll tries to control his alter ego, Hyde, and for a while, Jekyll has the power."

Dragons!?
This is a year of fiction for Liber Coven from historical to horror to true fantasy, we are moving along with our next read, Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede.
“Cimorene is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomboyish, smart - and bored. So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon - and finds the family and excitement she's been looking for.”

Back to Fiction
After starting the year with a witchy kids book, we had to keep up our fiction streak. We're taking a fictional look at one of the most infamous periods of witchcraft history. In March and April, we are reading The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore.
"Brimming with contemporary energy and resonance, The Manningtree Witches plunges its readers into the fever and menace of the English witch trials, where suspicion, mistrust, and betrayal run amok as a nation's arrogant male institutions start to realize that the very people they've suppressed for so long may be about to rise up and claim their freedom."

Making The Last Months Magical
The final book of the year is here! After a fiction read, we’re returning to witchcraft. We dove back into our long list of “Lost” books (books that have been suggested but didn’t win our book club vote) to find this book. We hope our November/December read will keep things practical.
In November and December, we are reading The Little Work: Magic to Transform Your Everyday Life by Durgadas Allon Duriel
“Make your day-to-day life as fulfilling and rewarding as your magical practice by turning everything you do into an extension of that practice.”
According to this book, nothing is mundane. Let’s hope that true for the last two months of 2022.

Fantasizing About Fall...and This Book
We're leaving "spirit conjuring" behind for a relaxing fiction read. After some questionable rituals and spirits that were a little too off-the-wall, our September/October read is a fabulous fantasy.
In September and October, we are reading The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie M. Liu.
“Concluding with a gorgeous full-length novella, Marjorie Liu’s first short fiction collection is an unflinching sojourn into her thorny tales of love, revenge, and new beginnings.”
If you're looking for witches, spells, crystal skulls, princesses, and everything in between, this might be your read.

Smells Like Familiar Spirit(s)
Don’t worry, Liber Coven is still very queer, but we’re moving on to a new theme for July and August: haunted. With topics ranging from everyday ghost stories to spirit keeping, we landed on something a bit more active than sitting around the campfire.
In July and August, we are reading Spirit Conjuring for Witches: Magical Evocation Simplfied by Frater Barrabbas.
“The greatest Witches of folklore practiced their craft by conjuring spiirts and employing a familiar spirit.”
If spirits and working with them intrigue you, this might be your new summer adventure (ghosts and batteries not included).
