A Discovery of Witches. Author/Book 1-hour
It all begins with a lost manuscript, a reluctant witch, and a 1,500-year-old vampire. Dr. Diana Bishop has a really good reason for refusing to do magic: she is a direct descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem Witch Trials, and her parents cautioned her be discreet about her talents. Author Deborah Harkness’ tale is heady mix of history and magic, mythology and love (cue the aforementioned vampire!), making for a luxurious, intoxicating, one-sitting read.
