WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

As a fan of the original "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" as a child, I have to admit, I was very apprehensive about "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" Reboot that just launched on Netflix.

All throughout high school and middle school, my love for books has continuously grown. Over the years I've collected a number of books that soon I'll need yet another bookshelf. Those that I don't collect, I add to a list of books I'd someday want to purchase.
