Welcome to Litsy!

This book got way too bogged down in the main characters trying to match make and it felt really forced and if I was one of the poor people they were targeting it, I‘d be really irritated. When the story finally got going it was good.
Two childhood friends must discover what paths they want to take, if they want to be romantically involved and how they can help their community.
2/5 stars read for too much forced romance too little pirating

A very light pick. I just find it a bit... half-baked, I guess? Comparing it with the other book I was reading partly at the same time (The Tomb of Dragons), the world-building is pretty lacking. I'm sure it's great if you just want a cosy fantasy romance, but even in cosy reads, I often need a bit more; I wasn't really feeling this one. Might or might not read more of the series.

This was my last book in my game of avoiding a #BookSpinBingo!

Looks like this is my #bookspin choice for the month! Which is timely: if I leave it much longer before I get round to reading this, I'll have forgotten everything about the first book.

In setting up my list, I included a couple of books I already read in February/am partway through, since I'm thinking I'll set up a #bookspinbingo card too. Just need to try not to become obsessive about it, either in creating it or trying to stick to it. 😅

I absolutely live for the puns in these books, highly anticipate re-reading them before the year is out. Because Reyna and Kianthe are the best

This is a fun cozy fantasy series and I enjoyed spending time with Reyna, Kianthe, and their griffins. There‘s plenty of adventure, painful puns, a bit of a body count, and of course, pirates. It took awhile to really get going, but overall it was enjoyable. I‘m making allowances for the pacing to simply be a personal problem focusing thanks to the dumpster fire of life right now.

2nd book in Tomes & Tea series

Reyna and Kianthe are still looking for the dragon eggs. Their search gets backburnered though, when they arrive at Diarn Arlon's estate just as the pirate who's been stealing food by the boatloads strikes again. They agree to help Arlon's constable to catch the pirate and soon find out that constable Bobbie and pirate Serina used to be childhood friends now turned enemies. ⬇️

Loved this second part even more than the first one. The characters are so lovely, I loved spending time with them. Then there's Pondie and pirates and a great example of how a healthy relationship looks like. What's not to love? ❤

I'm officially obsessed with cozy fantasy. Kianthe and Reyna are adventure couple goals. Plus, little Ponder was adorable.

Please share your cozy fantasy recommendations! These are bringing me joy.

A fantastic dedication 😂

Love this 😁😁

I'm going to be meeting Rebecca Thorne at an event on the 14th, so I'm was extra excited about today's #ARC #BookMail!
