First, here's a bit more about the book:
"A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES begins on a late September afternoon when Diana Bishop, a bright, young historian studying amidst the ancient stacks of Oxford’s Bodleian library, calls up a medieval manuscript of alchemical illustrations. As soon as she picks it up Diana realizes that the book—Ashmole 782—is an enchanted object of untold power. As it turns out, Diana is not only a first-rate scholar of seventeenth- century chemistry but also a descendant of a long and distinguished line…of witches. She’s spent her adult life distancing herself from her supernatural destiny, and after a quick look at Ashmole 782 she sends the book back to the stacks and her magical history with it.
However, Diana isn’t the only one who has noticed that the manuscript has resurfaced, and her discovery immediately sets the fantastical underworld stirring. It soon becomes apparent that Ashmole 782 is a coveted treasure that’s been lost for centuries and Diana is the first and only being that has met the terms of its spell. Soon she finds herself beset by members of all three magical species—daemons, witches, and vampires—who swarm upon Oxford, seeking the text. She finds a crucial ally in Matthew Clairmont, a dashing geneticist and a vampire, whose preeminence in his field has been achieved after years upon years upon years of study. The two team up despite an age-old enmity between their species, becoming closer over candlelit dinners, supernatural yoga classes, and a trip to Matthew’s ancestral home (well, castle) in southern France.

I am DYING to read this book! It has been on my Nook-radar for some time, but always seems to not be purchased :( Thanks so much for this post, this seems like such a great book!
This is such a great book to highlight; I couldn't put it down! As for the actors, I almost hope some things don't become movies so they can live forever in my head. I love the buttons!
I've been dieing to read this book, but it's always checked out at my library! I swear when they say "wait is undetermined" they mean you will NEVER get the book!
I just found your blog, and I'm really enjoying it. This book looks great -- I've read the "sample" bit from Amazon, but haven't gotten the whole book yet.
I've wanted to read this book for a while. Something about the premise, cover, and buzz has just captured my attention. I swear I have like super senses when it comes to books I think I'll like. O.o The buttons are pretty snazzy, too. Thank you for hosting the contest. :)
This has been on my list for a while, but I keep forgetting to get it! I'd love to win
This is a great book and I would love to have a copy and the buttons look great also

I listened to this audiobook, and let me tell you - it was so incredibly difficult to get out of my car each day when I finally got to work! I'd love a copy of the book to read so I can experience it tactilely.
Ooh, this looks like a fabulous read! And I LOVE the buttons...

I've seen this popping up on all the book blogs I follow and I'm intrigued! I've loved anything witch/witchcraft/magic related, and this past summer I even got to take a class on the history of witchcraft! So I'm very excited about this book and would love to read it :)
