Books Are Magic
Books Are Magic — a bookstore where stories come alive, run by none other than acclaimed author Emma Straub and her husband, Michael Fusco-Straub. With multiple locations across New York City, the Brooklyn branch I visited captivated me instantly—starting with its name, which couldn’t be more fitting because books truly are magic.

This independent bookstore exudes warmth and charm, creating a space where literature is celebrated as a force for empathy, escape, and transformation. Every shelf is thoughtfully curated, showcasing voices that inspire and stories that matter. What makes it even more special? Their vibrant community spirit—hosting free and affordable events featuring fresh new writers alongside beloved literary giants.
Books Are Magic is more than a bookstore; it’s a haven. A place where children can discover the joy of reading, young minds can grow into lifelong book lovers, and neighbours can explore new literary adventures. Step inside, and you’ll find magic on every page.
