Second this!
The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a fantastic YA read that adults can enjoy— it’s just great writing!
Can I just say that when I was in elementary school, I read a great series (trilogy??) about a girl and a witch. I wish I could figure out what that was. Would’ve been late 70’s or early 80’s.
All Souls Trilogy! So good!
Condemn me not by Heather Moore.
I haven’t read it yet but the Witches Daughter was recommended to me

Following.
A Discovery of Witches !!!!! Terrific series!
All Souls Trilogy
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
Chilling and beautiful. Made the hair literally stand up on my arms!
I love this book. The detailed history of the generations is amazing. The next two in series are just okay, but this one is a true gem.
An all time fave of mine. I love the whole Mayfair witches series.
The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent
I liked the beautiful creatures series.
The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Start with A Discovery of Witches. Witches and Vampires.
How To Hang A Witch by A. Mather. It’s a YA book, but very good.
Also you might enjoy Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. All of hers about some sort of magic and very good!
I love that author! I couldn’t get through first frost, though. But garden spell and sugar queen (I think that was the name haha) were good!
A Secret History of Witches; The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman and
It’s a recent YA release that I really enjoyed! The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

Following
The Rules of Magic… Alice Hoffman. Its the story before practical magic
Yes! I enjoyed this one very much!
The Witch’s Daughter by Paula Brackstone
Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witch triology
Didn’t Nora Roberts have a trilogy? I remember enjoying that.
She’s had a few. All good. Best one in my opinion The Circle Trilogy
@Lauren yes! That’s the one I read. Thank you.
@Deanna there us also The Guardian Trilogy, Cousins O’Dwyer and Three Sisters Island trilogies
@Lauren maybe that’s not the one I read. I didn’t realize there was more than one. ?
@Lauren I only remember there were three women, they lived near the water and one had just moved there and opened a bookstore/bakery? Unless I’m confusing it with other books. ?
@Deanna that might be the Three Sisters Trilogy. The circle has witches, magicians, vampires, time travel.
@Lauren I think you’re right. Maybe I need to read that! Thanks.
Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches
@Jenny
A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy) by Deborah Harkness and A Modern Witch by Debora Geary (series with a couple spinoffs) are my all time favorite witch books!
Also, Juliette Blackwell’s Witchcraft Mysteries.
I keep thinking of more! ? The Savannah Coven series by Suza Kates and Wild Irish series by Tricia O’Malley.
@Jenny I knew you’d have some recommendations! ?
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane.
I read this a few years ago and really liked it!
I LOVED this book!!!

A very lighthearted fiction book would be The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman – a good summer read.
Just finished this myself. Loved it.
Did anyone mention Ann Rice and The Witching Hour? ???♀️
Yes, they did! Awesome, I read it like 20 years ago and it still sticks with me! Blackwood Farm, too. I think there are 5 or so of her Witches of Mayfair series.
I just said the same thing out loud to myself! ?
The Salem Witch Trials
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dance (Katherine Howe), also The Witches of Eastwick (John Updike) or the Midnight Texas series by Charlaine Harris.
Dane (not Dance)!
Following
Following
YA – Wicked Deep, Hocus Pocus (with a Sequel included), The Undead Girl Gang.
Adult – The Rules of Magic and Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.
Kate Forsyth, it’s very fantasy based. Kelley Armstrong or Kim Harrison for urban fantasy
Anne Rice did a series on withches The Mayfair Witches the first book was caller, or Deborah Harkness A discovery of Witches
Deborah Harkness Discovery of Witches, Paula Brackston The Witches Daughter
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice was the first in her Mayfair Witches saga.
That was good!
Following
The Secret History of Witches is great, it’s about one Family and the power being passed down from Mother to Daughter, and what they each sacrifice in order to get there power.
Also Nora Roberts wrote a trilogy called The Dark Witch.
And I just picked up the A Discovery of Witches, the first in the trilogy.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (first book a trilogy).
Following
It’s been said but I’ll add it again, the whole Deborah Harkness series.
If you enjoy some dark YA, LJ Smith’s Secret Circle books are great. But only the original three were written by her: The Initiation, The Captive, and The Power. The newer ones are written by someone else and I haven’t read them.
Year One by Nora Roberts, Sparrow Sisters by Herrick, and how about a classic, Witches of Eastwick by Updike.
Loved Year One!!!
