The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is pretty good by Katherine Howe.
Oh, I really liked this one.
Practical Magic
A Discovery of Witches
Witches of Eastwick
Practical Magic. The Rules of Magic
The Last Witchfinder by James Morrow
The Witch of Willow Hall, coming out in October, I believe
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. Technically it’s part of a series, but honestly it’s better if you don’t read the rest of the books.
Loved that book!!!
The Witches by Roald Dahl. It’s a kids book but it’s awesome.
Is it written on a kid’s level? Wouldn’t be too silly for an adult?
@Mary I think all Roald Dahl books are a bit dark and twisted, even the “kids” books. The movie versions of his books are definitely actually geared towards children but I think the books are great, even for adults.
@Mariko I’ll have to check them out then-Thank you very much for the info.
@Mary and if you want some seriously dark and twisted stuff that makes you go ??, check out his adult short stories. Some of my favorites are “skin” and “man from the south”.
@Mariko Ohhh-I read a lot of paranormal & horror short stories-will definetly do that-Thank you
@Mary Oh! Ok then start with the book (of short stories) “Tales of the Unexpected.” ?
@Mary he has a very enjoyable style of writing that is playful and enjoyable for adults. An absolute treasure.
I just put his book-The Best Of Roald Dahl into my cart-will look for Tales also-Thank you both so very much.
See-I need to be stopped-I ordered 2 of his books-plus the 5 others I had in my cart.
@Mary ? I do the same thing!
@Mariko I guess we all do-I buy books from Thriftbook. I got all 7 for $25-and it was free shipping, so I guess I can’t complain-like who would about books??
A secret history of witches. Very mother and daughter based. I loved it.
I’ve read the reviews of that book-very good reviews
Have you read the psychic book of deliverance dane?
Just took a look! Sounds good!
Also, Daughters of the witching hill
Tituba,Black Witch of Salem by Marysa Conde. Someone posted the same question not long ago. Do a “search”in the group.
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is great. The Witch’s Daughter is wonderful too. Actually, anything by Paula Brackston is great. All books about witches, and stand-alone texts. She did just write a sequel to Witch’s Daughter, though.
The Wicked Deep
The Lives of Mayfair Witches
The Witch of Cologne is about a Jewish Kabbalistic witch.
Ff
WItches Abroad by Terry Pratchett. it is part of a series,but it is a complete story and you don’t have to have read the earlier books to enjoy it.
Macbeth–never made it to a series platform.
I’m reading The Witches of the East by Melissa de la Cruz.
Nora Roberts The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy
