There’s something about a rainy day that makes me want to curl up with a good witchy book, especially one with a little mystery or dark magic.
The idea for this post actually came from a comment on another one of my witchy book lists. Someone asked what I’d recommend for a rainy Sunday, and my first thought was Dark Witch by Nora Roberts.
That inspired me to put together this list of 19 witchy books for a rainy night. From magical mysteries to darker tales of witchcraft, these are the kinds of books that sound perfect for a cozy night in.
