THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED
Synopsis -
Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and she was supposed to be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now seventeen, Tamsin attends boarding school in Manhattan, far from her family. But when a handsome young professor mistakes her for her very Talented sister, Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search—and the stranger—will prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the sins of her family, and unleash a power so vengeful that it could destroy them all. This is a spellbinding display of storytelling that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.

Hmmm...If I were a witch, I would want to be able to cast spells. You can work a lot of different powers through spells. And I think it would be awesome to feel the power spilling into you. ;-)
Michelle (jmchshannon@gmail.com)
I've been wanting to read this book for awhile. It sounds really good.
To answer your question, I think I'd be most interested in spells and potions. Time travel would be a close second.

SO glad to see I have this book already sitting on my goodreads (yorkiestew) to-read list...
If you were a witch, what's the one "talent" you would want to have?
Definatley an elemental power. The power to control and or manipulate the elements, fire, water, air and earth. PREFERABLY all to be able to combine together in creative ways.
