Witchy Books to Read this Halloween
I’ve been excited for Halloween for months, and have been reading all the witchy books I could get my hands on. So, I thought I’d put together a list of new books that have come out this year that you might want to put on your October reading list. Let me know in the comments if there are others I’ve missed and I’ll update the list. Being about witches most of these books fall somewhere in the Fantasy genre, but some are also historical fiction, romance, YA etc so there is bound to be something that suits your taste.
