The only focaccia recipe that’s easier involves buying focaccia from a store

3 Doughs 60 Recipes by Lacey Ostermann

by 2 Comments

Bread is life! I make bread at least twice a week and I’ve reviewed bread books before. Recently, I’ve been making sourdough, but Bree Bridges (one half of Kit Rocha and an official Hero of Democracy) started making Lacey Ostermann’s Same Day Focaccia and was having so much fun that I had fomo. And, like, fomo I can do something about. I already have 10 pounds of King Arthur Bread Flour on hand and the ability to open Instagram. After watching a whole lot of […]

Daughter of Tides by Kit Rocha

by Leave a Comment

Kit Rocha is near the top of my list when I need books that will distract me and feed my soul some hope and joy so that I can go back out into the world. Seriously, if you want to read about community building and mutual aid with a generous helping of queer normativity and sex positivity, Kit Rocha has several different series that will give you that. I pretty much always have a Kit Rocha book open. Daughter of Tides starts a new duology […]

The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

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 […]

Gods and Monsters

Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha

by 1 Comment

Queen of Dreams is so fun. It opens with Ash, Zanya, and other members of the High Court preventing soldiers from burning an old woman as a witch. Rot in The Sheltered Lands is being spread by the regents who took control after Zanya murdered the evil king. There are intrigues, preparations for war, gods fighting gods, lovers sparring using their full abilities, lovers loving to their full abilities, and endless buckets of hope. The world building in this series is amazing and I am so […]

Murder Triad? Yes, Please

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by 4 Comments

I don’t remember how I ended up with a copy of Consort of Fire. I might have received a copy directly from the publisher (Montlake). I might have seen it in a bookstore. I might have bought it on Amazon. I honestly have no idea, because I feel like I’ve had it for a million years. So when my podcast co-host mentioned that we should read a romantasy book for our next When In Romance book club, my eye was immediately drawn to Consort of Fire on my […]

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by 2 Comments

Every one hundred years, the royal family of the Sheltered Lands must send one of their bloodline to be the Dragon Lord’s consort.  Sachielle is the latest in a long line.  But she has three secrets: she’s an orphan adopted and trained to seduce the Dragon Lord, her handmaiden and lover, Zanya, is a trained assassin, and finally Sachi is cursed.  Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to kill the Dragon Lord or Sachi will die.  But Ash, the Dragon Lord, is nothing like the […]
