Practical Magic
Witch World by Andre Norton
A Discovery of Witches
All Souls Trilogy, Deborah Harkness.
Everyone keeps recommending a Discovery of Witches. So I looked it up. Description makes it look like a romance. I don’t like romances.
Lol. It’s a children’s ish book, but have you read Witches by Raold Dahl?
I like fantasy but if it’s childrenish that seals it for me. Young adult romance. Barf
Lol. Gotcha
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
Also it’s not a witch book perse but Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstances was a really un putdownable book. I read it within 2-3 days. It fits into the fantasy category.
The witching hour. Anne rice
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
I forgot about this one! Also, A Secret History of Witches
The witching hour
The Wzard of Oz…

Wicked
This looked interesting*:
I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem by Maryse Condé: “At the age of seven, Tituba watched as her mother was hanged for daring to wound a plantation owner who tried to rape her. She was raised from then on by Mama Yaya, a gifted woman who shared with her the secrets of healing and magic. But it was Tituba’s love of the slave John Indian that led her from safety into slavery, and the bitter, vengeful religion practiced by the good citizens of Salem, Massachusetts. Though protected by the spirits, Tituba could not escape the lies and accusations of that hysterical time. As history and fantasy merge, Maryse Conde, acclaimed author of Tree of Life and Segu, creates the richly imagined life of a fascinating woman.”

Mayfair witches
The Dead Path, by Stephen Irwin. What a creepy, original take on an old fairy tale villain.
Terry Pratchett’s “Equal Rites”.
A Discovery of Witches
Uprooted by Naomi Novik. It won the nebula award for best novel and named one of the best books of the year by NPR. It has a grim brother fairy tale feel.
I JUST READ THIS AND LOOOOOVED IT
Love and Ruin by Paula McLain
Enchantment! Funny weird
Discovery of witches by Deborah Harkness
Y’all are awesome!! Thank you for all the suggestions!! Got a great list started…
Ann Rice witch series
I loved this series…..couldn’t put them down.
Depending on what kind of witch. But check out the “Sparrow Sisters”, there are two books.
A Discovery of Witches
Discovery of witches. Won’t be able to stop reading it.
I loved “Uprooted” by Naomi Novik. A great adventure with delicious elements of traditional fairy tale and folklore
Also, not necessarily a witch tale, but a magic tale: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is probably one of my favorite books of ever
Amazing book!
I loved this book!
I liked “Discovery of Witches” and the two books that continue the tale
So, Jessica Maze, which book(s) did you pick at the library? Inquiring minds want to know!!?
Discovery of Witches ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Yes!
The Line and the following 3 books (Savannah Witching saga). Author is J. D. Horn. There’s another book by the same author set in New Orleans but I haven’t read that one yet. It’s titled The King of Bones and Ashes.
I just started The King of Bones and Ashes and it’s good so far!
Practical magic
Agreed
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
I realize you aren’t at the library now, but like many others already said, ADOW should be your #1 go to for witch books.
read “Rules of Magic ” first then “Practical Magic” both by Alice Hoffman
Good suggestion!
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness!
Check out Terry Pratchett’s witches!
Anne Rice The Mayfair Witches trilogy.
A Discovery of Witches. Part of a triology, so plenty to read. A *significantly* better written/story line and an adult version of twilight (sort of…witch falls for a vampire) but way, way, way better
oh! sort of a witch. magic anyways. “Night Circus”. Quite possibly the most beautifully written story i’ve ever read. (yes, i read harry potter)
Wicked? Dunno if that counts
A Discovery of Witches
Something by Alice Hoffman
