What is the difference?
they are practically the same thing.
But, from my own personal experience and studies they are easily distinguishable. Witches have books that contain their spells, mixtures, rituals, and all sorts of information for their craft. The only difference is the personal connection. A grimoire is general knowledge - a book holding information that all witches can use, that can be passed down and used by any witch. A book of shadows however is a shadow of its owner - detailing its owner's personal path, beliefs, spells, and rituals not to be shared with anyone unless she consents to it.
