A cozy fantasy about grief.

House of Frank by Kay Synclaire

January 16, 2025 by narfna Leave a Comment

A cozy fantasy about grief and found family, and the first book I’ve read from the relatively new publishing experiment, Bindery Books. I would read further books from this author for sure, but I also think this one was pretty flawed. I actually think it needed at least one more round of edits, if not two. I have no idea how Bindery’s editing process works in comparison to traditional publishers, but this needed to be worked over for clarity, both in the writing itself (some sentences […]

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

It’s cold outside my friends. Let’s snuggle up under the covers with a cup of something warm and this lovely cozy fantasy. I think I’d be a simple chocolate brownie, super sweet and delightfully squishy. Tao is a traveling fortune teller, drifting from village to village in a wagon pulled by her trusty mule Laohu. It’s a solitary life made less lonely when a small fortune causes a former thief and an ex-mercenary to join her in her travels as they search for a lost […]

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

December 31, 2024 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

The House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is worthy of all the hype. Linus works for a government agency that manages magical children. He is essentially a social worker. He sticks to himself and follows the rules to the letter. How else can he minimize conflict in his life? He lives alone with his cat and is rather ordinary if you ask him. He isn’t quite coasting more like he doesn’t want to upset the order. He absolutely does not want to garner […]

A Cozy Story About “Exotic Bean Water”

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

November 13, 2024 by Tracy Leave a Comment

This was just what I needed given the stress I’ve been feeling lately, and I wish I hadn’t waited so long to read it. It was such a cozy read that I almost teared up at how comforting it is. The story focuses on Viv, whose 3rd person perspective we get, as she sets about opening up a coffee shop in the city of Thune, a city whose residents have never heard of coffee. She was previously a mercenary but doesn’t want to die in […]

Arleta Starstone adores baking, but she’ll admit that she’s just scraping by selling her wares thanks to the fact that she’s magicless. When her neighbor enters her in the Langheim Baking Battle, Arleta doesn’t plan on actually going. But between her neighbors and the elf who comes to tell her she’s been selected, Arleta finds herself convinced. Armed with only her baking skills, Arleta will take on the competition, find some new friends, and even maybe fall in love. I really wanted to like this […]

Her first customer, Il Soeil, turns out to be the captain of the knights of the kingdom. Il happens to be just as big a bookworm as Tsukina is, and soon the two […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
