LEGENDS AND LATTES SPOILER FREE REVIEW

 


This fantasy book is a future classic. I am telling you I gave this 5 stars.

The story of Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree follows an orc named Viv (the green one) who decided to move on with her life of high intensity quests and settle down in a small town called Thune and open a coffee shop. We follow her fixing up her coffee shop from the bottom up with the help of several new friends, and also get an insight of how she figures out what kind of coffee and desserts her customers would like, as well as the kind of people that visit her shop. Viv thinks at first that her success of her coffee shop might be due to the Scalvert's Stone she acquired on her last adventure, which legend has it brings good luck. But as time goes on there is more to it that meets the eye. And this happens in many ways. There is a subplot where she has to impress the Madrigal, a shady figure in Thune. One of Viv's friends she used to go on adventures with also turns out to be not as nice as he seems. But the coffee shop ultimately is where Viv learns how important friendship is with the help of her new friends and customers.

This was such a neat book! It does get intense in some scenes but for the most part it is a very cozy fantasy book. If you want a cozy coffee shop setting in a high fantasy world with all kinds of fantasy creatures, then this book is for you! 

There is also a small romantic subplot between Viv and Tandri, the other girl on the cover (the pink succubus) who is Viv's coworker, so it's also a sapphic romance.

Do you know any other cozy fantasy setting books?

The Baker and The Bard Review

Image
  A cozy little fantasy adventure with queer representation! The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught follows two friends, Juniper and Hadley. They work at a bakery and sometimes perform at an inn. One day their boss at the bakery sends them on a mission to get some glowing oyster mushrooms in a big forest for a big order a rich customer places. The friends get notice that several crops nearby are failing. They find out the cause is because of giant caterpillars that belong to a fey (fairy) named Thistle. It turns out, the fey caterpillars have some problems of their own. Juniper and Hadley find a way to help Thistle and get the mushrooms they need for the bakery. I gave it 5 stars. It's such a simple, but magical story! I think this book is perfect if you're in the mood for some adventure but with not very high stakes. Kind of like Legends and Lattes! There is also queer rep in this book. Hadley and Thistle are nonbinary, and Juniper and Hadley become a Sapphic couple.

I Started Reading the Call the Name of the Night manga series!

  I hope this becomes a new favorite series! Call the Name of the Night by Tama Mitsuboshi is about Mira--a girl with a rare condition where everytime she gets anxious, everything around her gets engulfed in darkness and it scares people. She is currently living with a doctor and magician named Rei, who is researching her rare condition and will maybe find a cure for it. Mira's daily life with Rei is rather chill: she usually reads books, helps Rei with cooking, plays with little shadow creatures,  and hangs out in the garden.  One day, an old, rather sketchy acquaintance of Rei's names Cartos comes to visit, and Mira ends up learning something about herself she never knew.  So far, I am loving this!  I gave this first volume 5 stars .  I love the heartwarming magical cottagecore vibes and the gorgeous pictures. it's like a more chill version of Witch Hat Atelier, in my opinion.  I also love the dynamic between Mira and Rei! I have a feeling Cartos will continue being a so

Favorite Childhood Online Games

Did you play any of these as a kid? I don't play on any of the ones that require an account anymore (plus Club Penguin no longer exists and my Webkinz account expired a long time ago), but the other ones I still play once in a while! 1. Webkinz-   I still have all 50 of my Webkinz (the stuffed animals in real life, I mean)!  Webkinz was everything to me all throughout elementary school.  2. Club Penguin- I played this one mostly in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9-10). It was a lot of fun! Although it was way more fun if you were a member (which I wasn't).  3. Poptropica- I always made my character look like me. Did you know the creator of this game is also the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid ? 4. Funbrain- My favorites on here were the swinging game, the one where a guy runs on logs, Mighty Girl/Guy, and the Star Climber. They also had some online books, like Tess's Tree and the earliest draft of Wimpy Kid . 5. AddictingGames- well, I mostly played Red Remover on here. At one
