Books Are Magic is a pink store on a sunny corner in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Owned by best-selling author Emma Straub and her husband Michael Fusco-Straub, Books Are Magic is home to exciting new releases and beloved classics, hidey-holes for children and books to read in them, gumballs filled with poetry, readings and panels almost every night of the week and storytimes on the weekends, and yes, plenty of magic.
