Book Rec: Witchcraft for Wayward Girls
Written by: Grady Hendrix

Why we like it: A librarian who is secretly a witch? Enough said! But seriously, I loved how this book blends horror, fantasy, and historical fiction. It’s a haunting, thought-provoking story with themes of womanhood, power, and resistance. Perfect for spooky season!
