I've ended up picking arcane witch for my free archetype for an upcoming wizard character. Seeing as they're both spellbook classes, however, I have to decide how I'm going to be learning new spells.
Wizards have to spend money when adding spells to their book, but get to keep the scroll after. Witches don't have to spend anything but lose the scroll, so theoretically I could learn every spell I get from scrolls twice, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth losing the scroll.
So my current plan is to rarely add new spells to my witch "spellbook", and only take evergreen spells that will basically always be useful in those slots. Ones that don't need to be heightened, like Pet Cache, Fear, or Slow. Is this a good plan of action, or should I invest more into my witch spellcasting?
You could use the Witch spellslots to fuel Wizard Spellblending thesis.
And Witch can learn spells in the conventional way, in the proccess they make a special scroll for the familiar to consume and add to your "living spellbook".

Witches are like
cook a stew
put a scroll in it
feed it to you familiar
profit
