Sarah Addison Allen

Let's get into book recommendations.

I recently read Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen and it had the same vibe as Practical Magic.

It's charming, quirky, magical, herbal and has the same feeling I get when watching Sally pulling petals off roses in Practical Magic.

The narrative is led by two sisters.

There's a couple of other books that I've read that are very, very different to Cherie Sinclair.

One of the ones I read was Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen, which is a really good book.

But the way she describes things and you can picture what she's talking about and you can picture the scene and you can smell the smells and you can feel the warmth of the sun and you can do yeah and that sort of made me think if if I could get one person to picture something or have an emotion from something that I've written like that then I'll have done something good is the way I think When I'd written the first book and I was looking for cover pictures and cover images and I wanted her to be on the front cover.

Sarah Addison Allen, Paper Ghosts Hi, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Tanya, your host here at The Well-Read Life.

In this space, I talk about books, sharing titles and authors, hopefully to add to your reading lineup.

You know, not books to just pack on the bookshelf, but definitely just one that I want to sink my teeth into.

So I was looking for that particular book and I found it within like, I think, 10 minutes.

And that was the newest one from Sarah Addison Allen.

And I'll have to tell you that I didn't know she had a new book and that she was actually still writing books.

Pretty great.

Uh, Sarah Addison Allen...

Well, wait a minute.

It said Clark earlier.

Mm-hmm.

So I'm not sure if that was a typo or what, but her, the author is Sarah Addison Allen.

Okay.

"Is from North Carolina, so a lot of her books, if not all, are set in the Southeast.
