YA Books Featuring Magical Libraries
Every avid reader knows that books are magic! They transport us from our everyday struggles and send us on amazing adventures. When we return, we're not always the same. 😉 So, what could be more magical than YA books about magical libraries? I've compiled a list for you to enjoy!
#1 Ink & Incantation
An limited-time collection of YA stories featuring books and libraries! Here's a little sneak peek of what's inside these enchanting pages.
A fae war is brewing, and only an ancient book has the power to stop it. If only the pages weren't blank!
A bookstore set in a steampunk world. The lights are flickering and objects are moving. Could the bookstore really be haunted?
A doomed love story set in the last known library. Can two teens preserve what really matters?
Two brothers. A wandering library. How far will they be willing to go to access this forbidden knowledge?
And many more stories!
#2 Harry Potter
Could I really make a list of magical libraries and NOT include the Harry Potter series? Heresy! From the restricted section to its fierce protector, Madam Pince, this library is iconic.
#3 Prince of the Doomed City
Well, well, well. If it isn't my latest obsession. Without too many spoilers, books in this fae realm contain dangerous living nightmares, and only special individuals can contain them. This book has a slowburn romance and an underlying mystery that will keep you turning pages.
#4 Sorcery of Thorns
One of the best known magical library stories in YA!
Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains.
