I'm having trouble deciding on a book with magic - I read The Snow Child last year and enjoyed it, but can't think of another one to try.
How about Garden Spells - Sarah Addison Allen
47. Try The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard. It starts around Christmas and I found it very funny, in a very Bridget Jones kind if way.
Thanks Amy and Deeksha - I'll look into them.
