Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft is the first book in the Washington Witches series by Mindy Klasky. This paranormal romp is great for a day when you just want an escape from reality.
Jane Madison is an awkward, single librarian who can’t seem to find the right man. She’s been mooning over her “Imaginary Boyfriend” Jason Templeton for ages, with no reciprocation, of course.

When Jane moves into an old cottage behind the library, she discovers a hidden trove of ancient magical books that—voila!—make her realize she possesses some magical witch powers. Now she can do love spells and maybe finally get a man.
Jane really is a nerdy and awkward librarian, but she’s lovable and relatable. All the other characters in this book are fun, too, and add spice to the novel in their unique, hilarious ways. Overall, Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft is enjoyable and fun, and a good way to pass the time.
The next books in the Washington Witches series are:
- #2 – Sorcery and the Single Girl (2007)
- #3 – Magic and the Modern Girl (2008)
- #4 – Single Witch’s Survival Guide (2013)
