Enjoying my summer reading

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls has been on my TBR for a while now. So I’m spending my summer afternoon reading and enjoying it. Part of what drew me to this book in particular is that it takes place where I used to spend a week every summer. St. Augustine Florida. Aka where my Grandfather lives, Aka where my beloved pirate ship ride is. The book is good so far and I am hoping to continue reading until I need to finish making dinner. (Homemade pizza) I am loving this summer.
