Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan

Bespoke and Bespelled (Movie Magic #1) by Karen Healey
You know that we love a good witchy read around here and this book is So. Freaking. Cute. Marnie is a "Stitch Witch" meaning that her magic is in fabric.
Love & Chickens by Kasey Morris
This is definitely unlike any book I've ever read. A romance novel heavily threaded with chickens. I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this and I didn't have super high hopes but I ended up absolutely loving this book.
