Ultimately, for my list, I like to think of it as a balance between dark and twisty, and warm and cozy.

If the vibes are dark academia, witchy, creepy forests, poisonous plants, cottagecore, or anything gothic (whether it’s horror or historical!) it’s right up my alley.

I also want to see cozier romantasy, where magic is woven into smaller aspects. Think kitchen and garden witches that brew intention into their hobbies.

#mswl Gilmore Girls town vibes with protagonists that are witches.
Think cozy setting, loving families, definitely a comfort read.

And witchy romcoms! Think THE EX HEX or PAYBACK’s A WITCH.
