The kid in me really wants to love these Sabrina books, but they are truly not very good. It's possible I would have loved them when I was younger and nostalgia would cloud my view, like with Fear Street, but I'm just not sure.

However, they are cute and mindless reads, and sometimes I just need that escape. I also found a bunch of them at Half Price Books awhile ago, so I'm determined to eventually read all the ones I bought.

Sabrina Spellmen breaks a magical mirror and has bad luck for 8 days. Sabrina has to get through the incidents without the use of her magic interfering with mortals. Its really a test to see how she is as a witch. The stories each day are written by different authors which was cool.

A fun new style of Sabrina books although id say it’s really just one story broken up into chapters written by all the Sabrina authors. An interesting concept with the last day ending with a story inspired by one of the tv episodes.

A fun, nostalgic read. I didn't think Sabrina's "bad luck" days were all that bad honestly but it was still enjoyable and lighthearted.

To be honest, I've never seen a single Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode although I'm sure I would've been a big fan. I really enjoy the books though.

This wasn't one of the best, but it wasn't the worse. But Eight Spells a Week was definitely where Sabrina has the most troubles. I love the fact that she gave up her magic knowing that it's the right thing to do. And it is the right thing to do, she got to see her mom and earn a life lesson!

I loved all of the Sabrina tales full of magic. Every story was a different adventure and some new and exciting challenge to overcome. These books made me want to have magical powers too but the ending results were hilarious.

I used to love this T.V. show, along with the books.. now I don't care for both much anymore.

It isn't too bad. I liked it a lot when I was a kid and I recently re-read it out of sheer boredom, and I didn't think it was too bad. C:

Favorite Sabrina book!!!! It was really the best! Not only their is the inspector of magic but also plenty of spells and poor Sabrina has to face very difficult decisions.

Read 2000-2001. Forgettable fluff.
