Any good books about witches out there? (Besides Harry Potter)
You could try A discovery of witches by Deborah Harkness it’s very good and there are 2 more too if you enjoy it ?
Have you read Terry Pratchett The Witches – Nanny Ogg is a legend – they are part of the Discworld series do fantasy very funny.
Witch’s Trinity
Have you read Practical Magic? Such a good and fast read.
The prequel is beautiful too!
Andrea Dodds I don’t know it. What was the title?
And the movie showed Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman and Aiden Quinn at their most beautiful stages in their lives. What a beautiful movie to watch.
@Joanna The Rules of Magic, it came out earlier this year and I didn’t even realise until I was about 20% in that it was a prequel to Practical Magic it’s a really amazing book that goes more into the early lives of the aunts and the curse too. The movie is probably my favourite movie ever, I’ve re-watched it so many times.
Thanks! If I flip around the TV and come across it, I always stop to take a look at all that prettiness!

? this movie was everything I ever wanted from life as a hormonal teenager, this and the scene with “This Kiss” playing as she ran down the street were the what love was to me. There was love, friendship, sisterhood, I feel another rewatch coming on!
I’m a 70 and I love it, lol!
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.
same time! I need to re read these xxx
My favorite.
I love it when people mention Anne Rice
Witches > Vampires ✨?
Don’t like her vampire stuff but loved the first of the Mayfair trilogy. Or maybe it’s time to give them another go.
I really like The Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice. 3 books in total, if sex scenes bother you it may not be for you. It isn’t all through but there are sex scenes in each of the books if I remember but fantastic witches story with a ghost! xxx
I loved the first one but wasn’t that enamoured with the sequels x
@Sharon I read them many years ago but looking to rebuy now ?? reacqaunit xxx
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco was great.
Also The Alice Hoffman books Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic were entertaining.
Alice Hoffman’s books were very good!
Dimension shifter series by T M Neilson
Nora Robert’s Dark Witch trilogy was good.
Following
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. Excellent!
The Dead series by Charlaine Harris. Also known as True Blood. They don’t just talk about vampires. There’s shapeshifters, werewolves, witches, other paranormal creatures.
All Souls Trilogy ?
I second this, I’ve read the series 3 times, and they are making a TV show out of it w/ Teresa Palmer & Matthew Goode.
A Discovery of Witches – my favorite series EVER!

Loved A Discovery of Witches!
Any witch books that are more Sabrina and Bewitched then having to make a spell. Just something where the character uses magic with a point of a finger etc. Tried Discovery of Witches and couldn’t be bothered with the 3rd book as didn’t care enough.

Wicca series. Cate Tiernan. Previously named Sweep series but they changed it. X
I recently read the first book of the Dorothy Must Die series and really enjoyed it.
If you like Macbeth…you might like this – tells the story of how the three witches end up on the heath…
The Shadow Chronicles by Paula Brackston reading them at the moment the first two were very good.

A Discovery of Witches
Anne Rice
Nether Isle by Nicoline Evans.
The Mayfair Series by Anne Rice
That’s it. I was struggling to think the name. It was very good. Been a very long tome since I read them
A Discovery of Witches (series of 3)
I’m just finishing a Secret History of Witches … pretty good!
The Witches
Adele Abbott has a cute, funny, inventive series out about a P.I. who found out her birth mother was alive, but on her deathbed. She is asked to attend her bedside and then her newly found mother calls her a witch. Unhappy about that she then comes to understand all…and that all is more fun than you can shake a stick at. Love the series. Have most on my Kindle. You have to start at book one.
I just read the first one on kindle unlimited today thanks to your post and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very light fun read. Thanks!
They are fun, and terribly addictive.
Anne Rice wrote about witches (and vampires too). Check her out.
I read many of her books years ago. Then moved on.
I’d still read her books. I always liked her. Each to their own, I guess.
My all time fav
Sweep. It is a 15 book series and amazing.
The circle of three , but I don’t remember the author, and Wicca by cate tiernan. Both are book series. I loved them!
Nora Roberts has a good one, o’dwyer series
Dead witch walking Kim Harrison

Discovery of witches trilogy!!!
The Witch Of Portobello
By Paulo Coelho
Not one of my favorite authors but definitely one of my favorite books.
The Half Bad series
Well, if you want a YA novel series about witches (and vampires), I recommend the House of Night series. They’re really wonderful, though I barely made a dent in the series myself.
I loved the Hollows series by Kim Harrison. The first book is Dead Witch Walking.
A discovery of witches
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane.
The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray.
YA series Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz.
