Practical Magic Books!
27
items If you loved the movie Practical Magic, this is the reading list you've been waiting for. Witchy women, family secrets, magic, and a little romance — 16 books for anyone who wants more of that spell-binding, cozy, and powerful feeling.
A cozy mystery with a delicious premise — pies that reveal secrets, a small town full of suspects, and enough charm and magic to make it completely impossible to put down. Fun, fresh, and unlike anything else on this list.
Magic, Lies, and Deadly Pies (Pies Before Guys)
The first book in a charming witchy series — think Practical Magic vibes but lighter and funnier. A great starter if you want something easy to devour in a day or two with your coffee.
Accidental Magic: Witchy Midlife Mystery
Dark, atmospheric, and deeply original — The Bane Witch follows a woman born with a dangerous gift in a world that fears her. If you want your witchy fiction with more edge and less sweetness, this one delivers.
The Bane Witch
A cozy prequel to the beloved Hemlock Hollow series — witches, small-town magic, and maple syrup. If you love slow-burn romance wrapped up in a warm, witchy atmosphere, start here before diving into the full series.
Maple Sugar and Magic (Crescent Moon Mysteries)
The Lost Apothecary is one of those books that haunts you a little — 1800s London, a hidden shop run by a woman who secretly poisons the men who hurt women, and a modern-day historian uncovering the truth. Dark, feminist, and completely gripping.
The Lost Apothecary: Historical Mystery by Sarah Penner
Magic at a slower pace. Fun and whimsy in this series.
The Enchanted Greenhouse (The Spellshop)
Funny that this wasn't already on the list, since it's the whole reason we're all obsessed with witchy sisters and a Massachusetts house full of secrets in the first place.
Practical Magic: 25th Anniversary Edition
Sisters, an apple tree with a mind of its own, and a small town where the food can change how you feel — this is the book I hand to anyone who says they want more of that Practical Magic feeling in their life.
Garden Spells: A Novel (Waverly Family)

The Bewitching Miss Blair
This one's for the days you want your witchy read a little darker and a lot funnier — it follows a woman starting over who befriends a neighbor who might just be an actual witch, and it ends up being as much about finding your own power as it is abou...

Three estranged sisters, reunited and reaching for magic that was supposed to be lost — this is the book for anyone who wants their witchy fiction with real teeth and a fist in the air.
The Once and Future Witches
Step into 1880s New York, where two women run a teashop that's really a front for herbal cures, secret confessions, and a little bit of magic — it's atmospheric in exactly the way you want a witchy read to be.
The Witches of New York (Ami McKay's Witches)
If you've already devoured the Owens family and you're ready for something bigger and more gothic, this is where you go next — generations of the Mayfair witches, all tangled together in New Orleans across centuries.
The Witching Hour: A Novel (Mayfair Witches)
the Owens sisters, the aunts, the lilac wine, all of it, and somehow the writing is even more magical than the movie.
Practical Magic: 25th Anniversary Edition
Franny, Jet, and Vincent growing up in 1960s New York under a curse that says never fall in love. It's dreamy and a little heartbreaking, and it makes the original Practical Magic hit even harder once you know where the aunts came from. Read this one...
The Rules of Magic: A Novel (Practical Magic)
If you've ever wanted the origin story of Aunt Frances and Aunt Jet, this is it — Alice Hoffman goes all the way back to Maria Owens and the very first Owens curse. I read this in about two sittings, cozy blanket and tea required. It's the perfect ne...
Magic Lessons – Practical Magic Prequel by Alice Hoffman
This one is pure fun — a witch accidentally curses her ex-boyfriend nine years ago and has to fix it when he shows back up in town. It's light, funny, a little spicy, and exactly what I want when I'm craving witchy without the heavy stuff. Perfect be...
The Ex Hex – Witchy Romantic Comedy Novel

Payback's a Witch - Witches of Thistle Grove 1
This is the book I've recommended to more friends than almost anything else this year — a found-family story about a witch who's spent her life hiding, until she ends up caring for three orphaned kids in a house full of magic. It's warm and healing i...
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - Cozy Witchy Fiction by Sangu Mandanna
This one's a bigger commitment — witches, vampires, and a forbidden romance set against Oxford libraries and ancient manuscripts — but it's worth every page. If you want to disappear into a whole world for a while, start here and thank me later when ...
A Discovery of Witches - All Souls Book 1
This is your pick if you want your witchy read a little darker and more gothic — a family with a dangerous secret, a mysterious estate, and a slow reveal that kept me reading way past my bedtime. Perfect for a stormy afternoon with candles lit.
The Witch of Willow Hall - Gothic Novel
Five generations of witches, all fighting to keep their power and each other safe — this one spans decades and it's rich and sweeping in the best way. If you love a big family saga with real magic running through it, this belongs on your nightstand.
A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan
Technically Greek mythology, but Circe is the ultimate witch story — a goddess banished to an island who discovers her own power through spellcraft. I think about this book constantly. If you only add one new title to your witchy shelf this year, mak...
Circe – Mythology Retelling Novel by Madeline Miller
If Garden Spells is already on your shelf, this is the sequel you didn't know you needed — the Waverley sisters, ten years later, and that same apple tree still stirring up trouble. Cozy, Southern, and just magical enough.
First Frost – Waverley Family Novel by Allen
