The Spellshop (Book 1 of The Spellshop) by Sarah Beth Durst

Cozy fantasy comfort-read with cinnamon-roll warmth, a prickly librarian heroine, and a sentient spider plant sidekick. The Spellshop is basically a Hallmark rom-com… if Hallmark had magical creatures, illegal spells, and a secret shop hidden behind jam jars and cottage-garden berries.

Kiela doesn’t do people. Luckily, she’s spent the last decade tucked away in the Great Library of Alyssium with her assistant, Caz—a magically sentient spider plant—preserving spellbooks for the elite. But when revolution hits and the library goes up in flames, Kiela and Caz flee with as many spellbooks as they can carry and run to a remote island: Kiela’s childhood home.

She’s hoping for solitude… and gets a nosy (and very handsome) neighbor who keeps showing up to make sure she’s fed and help fix up her place. Needing income, Kiela spots a gap in the local market: jam. With an old recipe book and a little illegal magic, her garden explodes with berries—until she risks even more and opens the island’s first-ever secret spellshop.
