“Love is like a good cup of coffee: strong, warm, and comforting”

Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by C.B. Lee

July 26, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

When Brenda’s internet quits on her just as an important scholarship deadline approaches (UCLA here we come! *fingers crossed*), her only recourse is the library. When that fails, she’s lucky enough to stumble into a local coffeeshop, replete with both wifi and Kat. Brenda falls for cool, confident, attractive Kat, who seems to actually want to listen to Brenda’s 19-step plan to save the world through the power of science and scholastic volunteer work. Meanwhile, Kat thinks Brenda is everything she didn’t know she needed; […]

The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

December 18, 2024 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord. He is a powerful man named Ash who can literally become a dragon. This immortal dude is pretty scary, but Sachi isn’t afraid. She has been dreaming of fire and determined to seduce him… The twist is she is on a lifelong path to assassinate him lest she will […]

‘He is in a dream but the beast is not. It comes! Wake!’

The Keeping Place by Isobelle Carmody

August 23, 2024 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

Ok, I am trying my best to keep the momentum up here because I feel that I may not have much free time in the next few weeks after quarter starts. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, Obernewtyn, The Obernewtyn Chronicles ended up expanding beyond the author’s original plans. There was originally going to be five books in the series, making The Keeping Place, the penultimate volume. Instead, The Keeping Place ended up as book four of seven. And maybe the […]

Dragons and Mayhem and Magic, Oh My

A Mythical Case of Arson by Melissa Erin Jackson

May 2, 2024 by Tracy Leave a Comment

This was a cute, cozy fantasy/mystery. Deandra Hendricks decides to take a break from her long work hours, and what seems to be a lacking social life, to visit family in Axia. The book is set on earth as we know it, except that there are a number of magical communities called hubs in this world where magical people and mythical creatures can live, and Axia is the small hub that Deandra’s magical grandparents have retired to. Deandra has no magical abilities herself and has […]

The Boys Trip

The Hobbit: The Graphic Novel by J. R. R. Tolkien

November 14, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I have never really had an interest in reading J. R. R. Tolkien, simply because if you can make as many movies from one series (Lord of the Rings) as it has had, and I know that a lot of what is in the novel is taken out, I am thinking they are not for me. However, I do know that The Hobbit is a bit shorter, and since it is just one novel, I thought maybe I could tackle it. It wasn’t until I […]

More of the same, but with a bit of personal nostalgia

The Elvenbane by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey

January 28, 2021 by zinka Leave a Comment

The Elvenbane is written by two giants of fantasy and science fiction, Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey. Specifically, two female giants of fantasy. I have learned that Norton was supposedly a mentor or Lackey as were other giant names like Marion Zimmer Bradley. Norton is apparently often called the “Grand Dame” of science fiction and fantasy. Lackey may be less well known, I’m not sure, but she was a name that was more familiar to me when I first read this book. I like to […]
