Audiobook read by Tom Taylorson who did a superb job.
What a fun book! A cozy fantasy I actually really enjoyed. A former military man, and trained EMT is in search of a job. An elderly wizard needs a butler. A match made in, well, somewhere.
pickAfter finishing the Cruella puzzle, my son and I started a Cinderella one. I couldn‘t help but think about how Cinderella has so many Halloween elements in it. There is evil, magic, a pumpkin, a black cat, and dressing up. Come on! So I took to Google wondering if anyone else thought this and came across this book which is kind of a witchy retelling of Cinderella with dirt. Fits the animal cover prompt and also completes my Goodreads goal 🎉⬇️

pickFinished this one yesterday. This one is set on a witchy island that has a ward that makes any visitors need to leave after 2 days except for Luke. It seems the island wants him there. A murder happens, so they need to figure out who did it because everyone suspects Luke.

pickThis trilogy was exactly the cozy fantasy I wanted. Yes, stakes were higher in these 2 than the first one but the world building inside world building was good. And the characters were well built. I honestly wouldn't be mad if this series continued 😉
OK, after 5 long weeks of Ren Faire shenanigans, I am going to finally catch up on my missed book updates and challenges. But first....Here are my Ren faire looks. Garden Gnome, Pirate, Belle, Ursula, Elf Rogue and Faun.
pickSecond book in the Crow Investigations series.

I like the series, but it's more "casual listening". It's interesting, yet doesn't require all of my attention.
First four or five books in the series are free with Audible subscription.

pickWhat the hecking heck. I need a hug. And some tissues. And Brand, though that is for a very different reason….
My husband and and I went for a drive just to get out of the house and to listen to more of Deadbeat Druid. When the sun wasn‘t so high, I went for a walk and continued to be annoyed by Maggie in At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities. The other character, Ava, makes me sad. She has epilepsy, and her parents raised her to be fearful of doing anything risky because she might have a seizure. My parents encouraged me to do things. #audiowalk
pickThis novel is available on Kindle Unlimited, an unemployed veteran/EMT is offered a position as Butler to a rich elderly gentleman. It‘s not long before Mulligan realizes that his employer is a wizard and pixies are helping with the dusting. I found this a quiet lovely escape. Following Mulligan‘s transformation from angry young man to confident family retainer: think Jeeves. Not a lot happens but it‘s a very pleasant journey. 🐉 #jumpstart2023
