A book that you’ve read more than 3 times…

The Witch of Blackbird Pond

by Elizabeth George Speare

Though I don’t actually tend to read books multiple times, there are a few that I could have chosen for today’s book.

I could have said Dracula without a hesitation, I could have said American Gods, or Harry Potter…

But this book I think, was really the first time I had read something that fell into the historical fiction category. Of course it had sparked my interest because it was about a witch, or so the title claimed.

I don’t remember how old I was when I read it for the first time. I must have been around 9 or 10. I read a lot as a child, mostly kid books, Judy Blume and stuff like that.

I remember that this book changed the way I thought about certain things.

This book, now that I’m sitting here thinking about the first time that I read it, probably has more to do with the reason I write about witches myself. One of the reasons why I’m drawn to the stories…

Maybe it’s time to read it again…
