Sangu Mandanna's The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
So this was a very cute 'n' cozy fantasy novel/British rom-com-style book full of found family and magic! It centers on a woman who’s a witch in a world where witches live secret and solitary lives, but she amuses herself making witch-themed YouTube videos. And someone who sees them realizes she has actual magic, and invites her to come and tutor three little witch girls who need to learn to control their powers (they were all adopted from various countries by a witch archaeologist which I one hundred percent took as a Ballet Shoes reference). Anyway. Obviously their main caretaker is a hot, grumpy, Irish librarian, but there is also an adorable elderly gay couple and a cheerful housekeeper around to keep things lively. This was all pretty predictable but it was fun all the same, and sometimes you just want to read something chill and pleasant with witches doing cool shit. A-.
