If Granny Weatherwax’s deadpan “headology,” the witches’ storm-summoning send-up of Macbeth, and the hapless way destiny keeps tripping over human foibles made you grin, you’ll love the way angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley try to avert the Apocalypse in Good Omens. Like the witches nudging Lancre’s rightful heir into place, they keep “managing” prophecy with tea, snark, and wildly imperfect plans—resulting in satire that’s as warm-hearted as Nanny Ogg’s songs and as sly as Granny’s stare.

Enjoyed how the traveling players, a ghostly king, and a crown with opinions turned theater into destiny in Wyrd Sisters? In The Eyre Affair, detective Thursday Next literally steps inside Jane Eyre to stop a villain from rewriting the plot. The book revels in the same kind of meta-mischief as the witches’ riff on Shakespeare—only here, the stage is every classic novel, and the backstage is a bureaucratic labyrinth of book-policing that would make the Lancre dramatists swoon.

If you loved watching Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat outmaneuver dukes and wizards alike—often with common sense sharper than any spell—then Sorcerer to the Crown will charm you. Prunella Gentleman crashes England’s male-only magical establishment with a Granny-grade refusal to be patronized, while Zacharias Wythe navigates politics as precarious as Lancre’s usurpation. Expect crackling banter, social satire, and the kind of pragmatic magic that gets results.

If the plot to unseat Duke Felmet and restore the rightful heir—complete with a spectral king and that very opinionated crown—hooked you, try The Goblin Emperor. When Maia unexpectedly becomes emperor, he faces backstabbing courtiers and conspiracies that echo Lancre’s intrigues. Like the gentler heart beating under Wyrd Sisters, this is a hopeful tale of leading with decency, outmaneuvering plots, and remaking a kingdom without losing your soul.

If Magrat’s earnest charms, Nanny Ogg’s chaotic wisdom, and Granny’s “no magic unless necessary” approach tickled you, Howl’s Moving Castle offers similar delight. Sophie Hatter gets cursed into old age and proceeds—very much in Granny fashion—to bully a dramatic wizard, bargain with a fire demon, and solve enchantments through stubborn practicality. It’s playful, cozy, and full of the sort of sideways solutions the witches would approve of.
