Witches are timeless in fiction, but there may be no better time to curl up with books about witches than the spooky fall season. As the temperature begins to drop and the days begin to wane, stories about women who possess mysterious powers will definitely light enough of a fire to keep you warm at night — and, admittedly, some of these tales might leave your heart pounding from delight rather than outright fear.

I've rounded up some of the best witchy books to get you in the mood for autumn. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it's hopefully wide-ranging enough to help you find something to suit your tastes, regardless of which witch you are deep inside.
