It is fantasy - I think... I'll check on Eva Ibbotson. Thanks for the links Tom and Flea.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Anyone know of any cozy mystery series with a witch/Wiccan as the amateur detective?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They aren't really mysteries, but the magickal heronine of the Barbara Bretton "Sugar Maple Chronicles" owns a yarn store....

I am totally stumped by how to post to What Was That Book - I joined, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Sad now.

i'm currently reading Buttons and Bows, a "magical dressmaking mystery" with "First in a new series!" on the cover. The heroine does call herself a witch, though not wiccan.

Is that Annette Blair, -t? I remembered she had something like one (she used to be one of my romance authors), so I looked it up and got a few hits. But I think her series is "Vintage Magic," as in a vintage dress shop, and she's psychic, not a witch.
Sox, when you go to post, look at the pull-down menu that says "post to". It's defaulted to your journal, but every community you join should appear in that menu. Just click to the right one.

Melissa Bourbon, Pleating for Mercy not Buttons and Bows. I'm liking it so far, not being able to remember the title notwithstanding.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This is the most annoying series ever. i cannot take the sewing related swearing puns.

It looks a little too cute for me, in any case.
I was wondering if there was something ... less cutesy out there where the detective is a witch/Wiccan. There were the Bast mysteries, I know, but everything more current is, like, magical bakeries or magical cats and lots of vintage and/or sewing stuff.

Ah, thanks, Amy!
