Friendship + Magic = A Spell – Inspired by Holly Bourne’s novella What Magic is This?

Posted July 31, 2019 by Emma in Barrington Stoke, Bookish Post, Holly Bourne, Magic, UKYA, YA / 0 Comments

Hello my Book Friends – today I bring to you an inspired post from Holly Bourne’s latest book, What Magic is This? that I reviewed last week. I loved it and if you know me you will know that Holly is one of my all time favourite authors. I felt inspired by this novella so I created a spell, with a little help from Barrington Stoke and Holly Bourne. 

This spell and this novella is something for you whether you believe in magic or not, whether you loved magical friendships like Harry Potter (- which I’m sure you all do.) But most of all it’s about your you, your friends, finding people because they are the magic, they believe in you and that they make you love yourself for who you are.

As Holly says in What Magic is This?

“Because learning to love yourself, and finding people who love yourself too, that’s real magic.”

This has been so much fun to create. A friendship spell. I don’t expect you to actually perform it but I thought it was a reflection to just how powerful Holly Bourne’s writing is…

I really hope you enjoy this post. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed making it and thank you to Barrington Stoke for the graphics and Holly Bourne for support and inspiration for the post.
