Here, Diana must locate a witch to tutor her in magic, Matthew is forced to confront a past he thought he had put to rest, and the mystery of Ashmole 782 deepens.Deborah Harkness has crafted a gripping journey through a world of alchemy, time travel, and magical discoveries, delivering one of the most hotly anticipated novels of the season.(synopsis from Barnes and Noble)
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this release. I have already pre-ordered Shadows of the Night and requested an ARC. Discovery of Witches quickly stole my heart when it was released last year. You can see my review: here. What are you waiting on?
You know I haven't read A Discovery of Witches yet but I really think I better get to it soon. Loads of people are excited for this one so the writing must be great!

I still haven't ever gotten around to reading the first book in this series! I keep meaning to, or I'll check it out from the library - and then get distracted. *sigh* Maybe I can get it done if I listen to the audiobook.
