On the Broomstick discussion

I am hard at work getting ready for the Practical Magic Blog Party on September 24th, 2011 on my blog.
http://onthebroomstick.blogspot.com.

There will be giveaways, book discussions and tons of fun. Meet some new bloggers and tell me why you liked Practical Magic the book or movie.

Thanks for inviting us to the group! :) I haven't seen the movie or read/listened to the book. I best get on the ball!!!

It is super cool! The soundtrack is wonderful too for all of us musical types...

I am SO taking part in this too. I bookmarked it last week. It's my first year taking part :) But I've been a huge fan of the book for years. Thanks for inviting me to your group! :)

Oh and Audio, Dana is right. I looove the soundtrack and adore the movie.

Yay!!!

I am lining up lots of awesome events. So excited!!!

I started reading Practical Magic yesterday - I LOVE it !!!

Laima: Is this your first time reading it?

I didn't even know that there was a book until I happened upon the blog party's web site. I'm so excited to start it...(just as soon as I can get to the library to pick it up)!

Melissa: It's SO good. Better than the movie (which I love).

I know I'm going to love it! Magical Realism (with witches) is my favorite sub-genre!!

Melissa: Then you definitely will :) Enjoy! I look forward to your thoughts.

I thing this is awesome! I didn't even know there was a Practical Magic book, I went out and bought it tonight! When should I start reading it?

Loved the movie, saw it in theaters, own it now, also own the cd of the soundtrack! I love soundtracks!

<3 Thanks Dana!

Jennifer: You're in for such a treat! Enjoy! The party is the 24th.

Thanks for friending! yes, it is. I couldn't put it down. A lot of Alice Hoffman's books have magic in the story line. I ordered 6 of her novels from Indigo - wish I had more time to read... got to go to work now. :(

Laima: :) I know. I love that about Alice's books. :)

oo they are all about magic..man I'm surprised I haven't found her sooner. Thanks JuJu. I'll have to check out her others too. I haven't read any of them either.

This looks like a lot of fun! I've read the book several times and have seen the movie as well. I also checked out last year's PM blog party entries and I am blown away by the creativity shown by all the bloggers who participated! I want to try to do something to celebrate this year's theme...I'll see what I can come up with. I'm so not "crafty" though--and I want to be able to do the PM blog party theme justice!

Alice Hoffman is one of my favorite all time authors. =)

I am half way through the book nothing like the movie that's for sure. Aren't the books almost always better than the movie?

I'm trying very hard to reserve judgement until I finish the book....cutting it close too...1.5 days to go!

Here are all the posts to the different events at the party:

Hope to see you there!

I love Practical Magic both the book and the film, although very different. The music, the actresses all perfect. This is my favourite film and i love it.

Yay Melissa!!

Hi Dana, came by today and visited but have to rush off and help dh build our stupid shed. This is one day I wish I were really a witch like in Bewitched.

I haven't read or seen Practical Magic in a while, but it seems to me the sisters are always finding that sticking one's hand into the bicycle spokes of life often hurts the fingers. Since, we all do this all day, each day by merely being alive, cooking, cleaning writing, reading, painting, loving, having kids we alter the world and sometimes it hurts.

Oh, I've been meaning to read this book for a long time!
