They say sequels struggle to live up to the hype of the first book. But in my opinion that is not the case for the second book in the Witch of Ware Woods series. The first book was truly amazing and I shared my review of that on a previous post. The story follows Sara a strong main character, and her circle of family and friends in the beautiful forest of Ware Woods. The book is called Death and Dragons.
The second book continues the story of Sara and her determination to destroy the evil that continues to have control over her life. The notion of dragons is very exciting for people like me who have always been fascinated by their power. This book did not disappoint at all. The characters are believable and truly grow as you join them on their mission to save their home. I loved the new characters that were introduced and I especially loved some of them more than others. The feeling of family, loyalty, and trust above all is most often learned from this book. You will find many moments when reading that pull at your heart for Sara. The story had a wonderful balance of romance, adventure, and all of the other elements that make a fantasy book worth reading. I am going to claim this now before anyone else has a chance to: Sonja F. Blanco has talent. She writes her books as if she has a magic power. The worlds she builds are so evenly woven together. Her characters each have their own back story, lives, and powers. They are not just thrown together quickly. No. It is very evident that this author has spent a lot of time curating her characters. That takes a ton of talent and a lot of love. Every page of Death and Dragons keeps you moving forward to the next. There was not a moment in which I felt bored or lost. The sheer annoyance that I could not read as fast as I wanted should be proof enough. The story is just that good and I devoured it!
It can be very hard to review a book without spoilers. I struggled writing this one. But if you have read the first book Witch of Ware Woods, you know Sara is new to her magic. But she learns quickly and fights for her family and her beau. You will not be disappointed in her growth in the second book. And the dragons? Well. Let’s just say- some dragons are worth melting for….
Go.👏Get.👏 Both. 👏Books.👏 Now.

This is the possible logo for my business. So far I think it works, but this is subject to change.
Purpose:
The purpose of my business is to inspire, encourage, uplift, and help people who have endured trauma, or need a friend in a stage of life that feels lonely. I want to encourage others through journaling. I hope that my journals and other products act as a guiding light towards a better future. Not as bright as the sun, but as warm and welcoming as the full moon.
Where to buy?
The first journal is already live on Amazon, the link is in this post. Soon I will have another available for the month of April. I am super excited to start that I am losing sleep over it! Please be patient with me as I am learning how to do all of this as fast as I can. Please follow me on Instagram via Book Witch Press and Amanda_thebookwitch for more updates. Thank you for all of your support and love. It truly means more than words can say.
Link to the first Journal is here:
Hello there witches, beasties, and the like,
I have been so very busy since the last time I wrote a post. I apologize for my delay in writing and keeping up with this blog. I would promise that I will do better, but let's just face it. (Promises are really serious spells and I just do not want to cast one without full intent on keeping it.) So what have I been up too in my absence? So much! I have been learning so much in the month of January and February. I have been journaling as well but I have also been creating journals. By creating I mean designing journals. I have been studying how journaling and healing can go hand in hand. That was when I realized that I needed to be using my creative skills to help others. So in retrospect it first started out as a way for me to ease stress, to create something that was tangible. I have a Children's book that I am avoiding formatting but I figured if I could learn how to design journals and use the software to publish them than I would eventually feel more comfortable doing the same with my book. The more I learned about the benefits of journaling the more I wanted to create them to help others with anxiety, healing, and day to day life. In doing so I started my business and it is called Book Witch Press. I am fully committed into creating more tools to help others healing and in turn help myself too. After creating my first journal which is called "I am Magic", I published it on Amazon. Since doing so I have received so much love and support from family and friends. The book community especially has supported my new adventure with such positivity that it has sparked fuel in my drive to make more!
Now that my business has started the fear of creating a newsletter has vanished as well. I did not realize how much I was holding myself back due to fear of failure. The newsletter is called The Book Witch Coven Newsletter. Why the Book Witch Coven? Because this is the name of my book club. Here the subscribers will get first news on my books, poetry, art, journals, and book club reads! I plan to set up a group page on Facebook or possibly Discord for the Book club portion. I would love to connect with other book witches and talk about books of all genres. Maybe even buddy read! I placed the link to my newsletter in my link tree. I will be sending out the first newsletters today. Thanks to the newsletter others can then stay in touch with me if something dreadful happens to social media channels. Speaking of The Book Witch Coven, did you know that the journal I created is a special edition? Yes! The first Book Witch Press Journal is a Book Witch Coven journal. This means that this goes along with the brand new book club and newsletter. I designed them this way to celebrate, so if you ordered one you are holding a very special copy. You will know by flipping it over and reading the back, if it says "Book Witch Coven" thank you ordered the celebration journal.
I will make a separate post about The Book Witch Coven book club and such at another date.
Let's check out my first journal creation!
Inside, I have chosen quotes from different women in history. I chose quotes that meant something to me personally as a person and as a mother pursuing her dreams. I chose quotes that I thought would encourage others and help keep them company during their journaling. For subscribing to my blog you get a free downloadable print page that goes with this journal! ( YAY!) You will find that link at the very bottom of this page.
Here is the journal:
