I would recommend this book to EVERYONE. Full stop. The Book Witch is the Princess Bride of books. It has romance, adventure, mystery, magic, humor, and heart. There really is a little something here for every kind of reader, but especially for those of us who have spent our lives falling in love with stories. The Book Witch celebrates everything that makes reading magical, and I absolutely loved it. Five coffees, no question.

Here's my spoiler-filled comparison of the two books.
