SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady
Just another GR refugee. Other than that, I had a stroke in 2004, and read almost anything I can get my hands on, though I have a particular weakness for history, mystery, and historical fiction.

Practical Magic
I saw the film of Practical Magic, which was made, I think, in 1998, years ago, and it's a fun movie. It is, however, rather different from the novel, and I can see why.
Both the title and set-up are solid movie material (there are witches among us, and one of them has a very nasty ex-boyfriend, who causes trouble from the grave, is what Hollywood concentrated on - concepts ripe for film storytelling, particularly when you cast Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman) but the novel itself is very different. It is dreamy, mystical, fluid, sometimes languid, with more magical realism than straight-out "magic."
The book works well as a book, and the movie is a fun picture, and I'd recommend either to anyone in the right mood.
