pickA pretty satisfying cozy fantasy! I enjoyed the characters and their journey to putting together their new bar venture. I did want a bit more flavor as far as Rhoren‘s transition from living in the mountains all his life to living down by the sea goes. #LGBTQIA #CozyFantasy
so-soThemes: Christmas Noir Mystery (but satire), Over the top humor, Fantasy
This was a quirky read, I enjoyed it but it wouldn‘t need to be a yearly re-read. It really made me want to re-watch every Christmas movie it referenced, and there were a lot mentioned!
pickI actually liked this book. The story is written for middle grade- but as the characters in the story age i do wish the voice of the story aged also - so that is my main critique. In this one there are serious injuries that require healing. I think i would have liked more of the other characters in the story too- but i did enjoy the direction this book took.

I really wanted to like this. It is beautifully written, but nothing ever seems to happen. I finally decided to DNF at about the half-way point.
I just don't do well with magical realism.
This is my pick for August #SeriesChallenge American Demon by Kim Harrison @maich
pickI love this series. This one is #11. There is an unexpected sacrifice, which totally made me cry. If you like witchcraft, elves, pixies, and vampires, you would like this series. Two bingo spots for June and July #ISpyBingo Great Series #SeriesLove24 Libby said it had 850 pages, so it qualifies for a Chunkster #ChunksterChallenge2024 #ReadAway2024

Kerith has many humanoid and non-humanoid race living uneasily together including the Vaelinar from another world. There are politics and war brewing. Against this epic fantasy is interwoven the everyday life of the Farbranch family which gives it structure. Nicely done 👍🏼
