Once an Itchy Witch

Hehe just kidding, thats actually not the name of the book.  But a big virtual hug to whoever can tell me what book "itchy witch" is from  ;)


I actually read Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough
     
Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and she was supposed to be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now seventeen, Tamsin attends boarding school in Manhattan, far from her family. But when a handsome young professor mistakes her for her very Talented sister, Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search—and the stranger—will prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the sins of her family, and unleash a power so vengeful that it could destroy them all. This is a spellbinding display of storytelling that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.






This is the book cover that I read from:







And this is the book cover I wish that I got to read from:

  What's so great about half faces anyways?


Oh yeah this was a good book.  I really liked Tasmin even if every time I read her name I called her tasmanian devil.
I really didn't think I was going to like this book.  Especially when I got about 13 pages into and seriously considered reading my other library book.  Don't ask me why, I just wasn't really liking Tasmin.  Especially after she was talking about her flirting skills.  Maybe it's because there was a cat in the scene?  And then after reading about the cat, I pictured my cats in this little witch hat that BFF bought for them and I giggled for a bit and then continued reading.  I'm so glad I kept reading!

Anywho I think the summary above pretty much gets the gist of the plot so I won't really elaborate anymore.  Except to point out that Tasmin has a booooyfriend Tasmin has a booooyfriend.  And YAY no stupid love triangle weeee!  I totally like Gabriel, but I wish he had a tad more personality.  Like maybe   "_____"   that much more.  Here's hoping we get more Gabriel in the next book, which I most definitely will be reading.

Hmm I think the quality of my half ass reviews is getting worse HAHA!  But I have two things to blame:
1. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
2. HARRY POTTER IS COMING OUT!

Hell yes I am jumping on train stop at 9 3/4!  Nine and three quarters.



Don't ask me why my Harry Potter looks so evil.  I've got no idea.  OR maybe he's winking?  Yeah sure.  I think I need a Harry Potter marathon!  Books and movie!  It's been so long since I've read/seen either!
