      'This book is a gem that was perfectly cut to fit the Pratchett-shaped hole in my heart' C.M. Waggoner'A bubbling cauldron overflowing with imagination and charm' Chris SugdenBooks can change lives. Magic books can cause absolute chaos.Isabella Nagg lives on a tiny, miserable farm in a tiny, miserable village with a husband who's about as useful as a wet sock. Her days are filled with scrunge (don't ask), mildly cursed livestock, and singing to her beloved pot of basil. It's not much-but it's hers.Then Mr. Nagg brings home a stolen spell book from the local wizard, and Isabella starts to wonder: what's the worst that could happen?Cue one grumpy cat-like companion, a magical Ponzi scheme, and a journey through a world where enchantment meets bureaucracy and goblins have opinions on capitalism. As Isabella stumbles into spells, secrets, and self-discovery, she might just find that magic isn't the only thing she's been missing.Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil is a delightfully bonkers, footnote-filled romp for fans of Pratchett, folklore, and anyone who suspects their houseplants might be judging them.NetGalley readers love Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Had me completely enthralled from start to finish'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'A really hilarious cozy fantasy'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'A delightful read . . . I found myself legitimately laughing aloud'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'I described this book to a friend today as "clever funny" . . . I will likely read this again in the future as I enjoyed it that much...which is pretty much the highest praise I can offer'

      Oliver Darkshire is trying very hard not to think about his life choices, or how he got here. He lives in Manchester with his husband, and once a week they sit down to figure out how they will fit another bookcase into his study without blocking the door.
