Books

When I talked to her last month, my mother gave me a list of books that she recommended. Most of them are very good, and I'm so glad she told me about them! For example, I understand muggles much better after reading My Family and Other Animals, and I understand scorpions much better too. And I understand my mother much better as well, so that's three things from just one book.

The twenty books about forty people falling in love while training twenty clever horses to do something called dressage was only one or two things, I think, but then again I may have missed something because I've never trained horses, only owls, and puffskeins, but not very well. Puffskeins are not very trainable. But I might read them all again anyway, because it was a good one or two things.

So you'll understand why I want to read all the books she told me about...and I'm sure she did her best, but she was a little out of touch with my life (I don't blame her at all for that, I truly couldn't) and what's more and I really am very jealous but I think she has access to more books than I do (she said something about paradise being a kind of library, even though I didn't see any books when we were talking).

So I couldn't find some of these, but if they exist I'd really like to read them. Does anyone know where I might find:

A Potionmaster's Journey
Joy and Cleghorn
Six Uncommon Healing Spells and Why You Should Use Them
The Shop on Eleventy-First Street
The Holly Wand
A New Kind of Potionmaking
Rowena
Simple Cooking Spells (I'd especially like it if anyone knows about this one)

Thank you.
