Have you read any of these? 🔮✨
Let’s do a virtual book club! 🧙♀️📚🎃
The Pumpkin Spice Cafe gives Gilmore Girl vibes. A woman moves to a small town to take over her aunt’s coffee shop and meets the town’s beloved farmer. It gives Luke & Lorelai vibes. I saw it on TikTok and needed it just by the cover. The rest of the series is coming out later this year

I loved this one! I flew home a month ago and was having flight anxiety because the last time I flew was during all the canceled flights in Dec '22 so I was stranded in the Denver Airport all of Christmas weekend by myself and it was terrible😅 so I listened to it on audiobook on my flights for the cozy Autumn vibes and it was so nice and calming😂
I am looking forward to getting these books and reading them. A cozy cup of coffee or tea, cozy fall/ Halloween blanket and a good book 🎃☕🥮🌻🍂🍁💀🦇👻
Ok picking those all up from the library this week. Thanks❤

I highly recommend The Myrtlewood Mysteries series by Iris Beaglehole. I absolutely loved this series.
Living for this! I'm on book 6 of The Witch City Mysteries by Carol Perry. They are just like Hallmark mysteries set in Salem😊

The wicked deep!! I’m so so happy you mentioned it!! If you didn’t I was gonna comment it. I LOVED this book!!
Can’t wait to read these! 🍂🌙🎃
I love all these witchy/gilmore/cozy/halloweentown vibes!! ✨️ Definitely putting all these books on my tbr list so i can start reading mid-late August. They sound like the perfect touch to get into Autumn/spooky season 😍🍂🍁🎃❤️
Thanks for sharing these! I am more of a dark/thriller/horror book reader too, but I bet some cozy/Gilmore Girls-esque books would be a nice change of pace.

Yes!!! I swear it really is. Nothing will ever top a thriller for me when it comes to reading but these lighter reads are nice for changing up the pace ✨🖤
I just finished the Vampire's Mail Order Bride last night and! OMG I really loved it!!! 📚🧛♂️🧡🖤
I am on book 5 of the Mrs. Morris series and I love it! Every book is soo good (1st can be a little slow but all the others are better)

So the Nocturne Falls books are absolute palate cleansers for me. I have read the first 9 so far. My current favorite cozy mystery/witchy reads is In The Company of Witches by: Auralee Wallace. I just purchased the 2nd in the series called The Crow's Nest. If you are a vampire fan, a series I can read/listen to repeatedly is the Half Moon Hollow series (Starting with Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs) by Molly Harper. I have never laughed so hard at a book in public in my life. There is a little romance, some death, a mystery, a nosy dead aunt and just generally the most amazing town of characters ever. The audio books are absolutely perfectly voiced as well.
These all seem like awesome reads with real "campy" vibes! Thank you so much for the recommendations to help us through summerween! 🎃
Just finished The Wicked Deep per your suggestion. It was really good and difficult to put down !!!!! It has a great plot full of unexpected twists and I definitely did not expect the ending. On to your other suggestions!

Cider Mill Coven is amazing!!! 🧡 it would be on this list but I tried to share ones I haven’t before. But it absolutely belongs here, too 🧡 and I hope you love the ones I mentioned. Ugh wish I could read them again for the first time lol. Thanks so much for watching, sweet friend! Appreciate you✨ more coming for sure! Xoxo
The only book I've read that you mentioned is The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches and I LOVE that book so much!!! 🎃 Now I wanna add some of these to my fall TBR!!! What I also think you should read is Cackle by Rachel Harrison, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore (I haven't read it yet but I heard it's cute and it gives off Gilmore Girls vibes), The Witches Of Moonshyne Manor by Bianca Marias (Haven't read it yet but I will be soon and I heard it gives off The Golden Girls vibes), Midnight At The Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber, and The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling.
Obsessed with the Secret Society for Irregular Witches. The author has a new book coming out in the fall, too. A few other cozy, witchy reads I can suggest: The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling, and Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gililand.
Definitely want to read The Wicked Deep!

I read this series a few years ago and throughly enjoyed. It’s a time travel back to the witch trials. First is Salem Witch Haunt by Theresa Sneed. I felt like I was there in that time.
I LOVE cozy mysteries. Added these recommendations to my list! I already have the third one but havent read it yet.

Oh my goodness! I was so excited when you mentioned me recommending The Mrs. Morris books to you. Yes, the first one is a little slow, but they get better. I will have to read the Nocturne Falls series. Thank you for sharing.😊
I loved the Wicked Deep, that is a beautiful cover on your paperback! Also liked the VSSofIW, A cozy I really liked is In the Company of Witches by Auralee Wallace, it's an Evenfall Witches B&B Mystery, just got the second in the series for Summerween.

Loved this video so much! You need to add How to Hang a Witch and also The Lace Reader to your list - both take place in Salem! The Lace Reader is my absolute favorite 🎃

You have to read Winterwood if you liked the Wicked deep. They go hand in hand! Also, I highly recommend "The Windhaven Witches" by Carissa Andrews, And my number 1 witchy book of all tinme is Hollow Heathens by Nicole Fiorina Adult version. 90s vibes, witches, holloween 24/7 and romance.

I read The Wicked Deep a while ago, but unfortunately it wasn't for me. A bit too YA romance-y for my taste, but that could be bc I'm 45 😅 The other books sound really cute though - love a good cozy mystery!

I would recommend reading books from Hester Fox. She has some great witchy books many revolve around Salem. If you want more of a cozy feel Danielle Garrett's Beechwood Harbor Magic Mystery is a fantastic series. She has tons of witchy books.
I'm drawn to Fatal Fudge Swirl because of the murder mystery aspect, and the Wicked Deep. I'm currently reading the Carrow Haunt by Darcy Coates, and really enjoying it. It's a haunted mansion type of read. I'll have to check these out. Also, I agree with what you said in your last video about respecting each other's tastes. That really changed my perspective. I felt like that was such a good message to share. 👍😊🌼

Just ordered Mrs morris ghost stories! You have the best taste ! 🎃☕️ have you read the practical Magic series by Alice Hoffman? I feel like you would be obsessed with those!
I’ve just started The Wicked Deep because of you ! But, I NEED you to read How to Hang A Witch, by Adriana Mather. I can’t talk about this book enough. It is a series. It’s so amazing. She even has a book trailer on KZread for it and it’s amazing because it lets you picture the characters perfectly. But, Adriana is the great great great granddaughter of Cotton Mather!! She’s a direct descendant and the book is filled with Salem and the trials. The whole series is amazing.
