If you’ve ever wished your local bookshop came with a dash of ancestral magic, Books & Bewitchment is your next cosy obsession. Isla Jewell conjures a warm, witchy romcom that feels like Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic—with a Southern twist.

Rhea Wolfe, our eldest-daughter heroine, inherits a crumbling video store and a magical legacy in Arcadia Falls, a town brimming with secrets, spells, and suspiciously helpful handymen. As she transforms the shop into a cozy book haven (dreamy!), she uncovers family mysteries, forbidden love, and a community that’s more enchanted than it lets on.

I never wanted this book to end
