I loved Taisia Kitaiskaia's Ask Baba Yaga, with its beautiful, poetic language. When I saw she had also written this book I had to get it. She writes enchanting poetry about amazing female writers, and also provided me with a new reading list. Also, Katy Horan's illustrations are magical.

Literary Witches celebrates the creative power of women writers in several genres and eras. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the suggestions that it gives based around the works of each Rider that it includes. I found it fascinating that they included Octavia Butler and Toni Morrison within the scope as well as several other writers like Leslie Marmon Silko.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MAGICAL, CREATIVE, FEMINIST, INSPIRATIONAL BOOK. There just aren't words to cover it. It's strange and mythical and beautiful and perfect. If I could, I would buy this book for everyone in my life.

Beautifully imagined and executed, and much more inclusive than this sort of book (in the West, in English) is in my experience.

Admito que tenía un leve prejuicio antes de abrirlo pero me llevé una gran sorpresa. La selección está muy buena, brujas conocidas y muchas por conocer que sumaré a mi lista de pendientes. Me gustó el tono que tenía, cuando leí las descripciones de las que sí he leído disfruté mucho los juegos que hacían con sus historias, personajes y temas. Los dibujos están MUY lindos. Para ojear de vez en cuando.

This was a cute and quick read. It reimagines these authors as witches. A majority of the women I knew and am a huge fan of their work. The ladies that I didn’t know works will be added to my ‘to read’ list.

I was hoping there was a little more to the backgrounds. But the art was really cool

No está mal, pero esperaba algo más.
