![]() ![]() What arguments are there for the Witch being a good person?ĭespite the many accusations the Witch faced, many people still came to her for help. ![]() When the Witch’s husband died she went from being called the Witch to also being called ‘the Devil’ because society believed she had poisoned her husband. Instead of Witch, people would call her nastier names, as it seemed they were one and the same. Indeed, it was easier to call her so because no one truly knew what her name was. She assumed the name of the witch from birth, because her mother was known for being a witch herself.

The demand for written review effectively prevented me from posting the 5 star rating that might encourage others to enjoy an excellent book. This is a tad bit bit onerous for the buyer who enjoyed reading the book and respects the author enough to pause and tap some stars. No, any star rating is booby-trapped with the requirement of a written review, further weighted with a minimum word count, no less! Write a review or no stars from you. ![]() Star ratings are not acceptable on their own. However, the reader must jump through a mandatory hoop if you choose to leave a rating. I hope many others discover the fun adventures of The Iron Druid and a very entertaining cast of characters. I am more than happy to give Kevin Hearne a 5 star rating in addition to purchasing everything he has published. Thoroughly enjoyable, well-written and well-researched books with an interesting premise. ![]() ![]() but damn it, there's 500 dog stories on here! Oh forget it, it was really funny and that's all you need to know." 3) My all-time favorite blog story is included, which resolves number 2, above. 2) It is much easier for me to share a funny story with a friend when all I have to remember is "Chapter 2" instead of "What on earth was the title of that blog post again?

It's true, this book does have many stories that already appeared on her blog, but I am totally ok with that, and here's why: 1) Hearing her stories in her voice adds a whole new layer of hilarious to them. This is the first one that I have bought a "double" of, and it's 100% because Jen X is self-narrated.

I've been waiting for Jen to read her own work! :) ![]() |
