Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m now a two-ereader person. My old Kobo was tablet-style, so I could load books from multiple retailers via apps. Ever since it died and I switched to a Clara 2E, I‘ve had to read old Kindle purchases and ARCs on my iPad. (You CAN load ARCs onto Kobos, but the DRM makes it a frustrating process.) I considered thrifting a $15 Kindle this weekend, but when I told my mum about it she offered me her old Paperwhite instead! It‘ll make life easier.

Thank you @Soubhiville for sending me this cool book and helping to add more “cozy” to my reading life.
The tagline is perfect:
“You like tea. I like books. Care to open a shop and forget the world exists?“
You are the sweetest, my friend!🤗

This self published fantasy popped up on a list, probably from book riot, for “if you liked Legends & Lattes”.

Cozy fantasy is a fun new genre. My bookclub‘s theme for the month is COZY, so this was the perfect fit.

A mage and a palace guard decide to runaway together and open a tea shop/ bookstore. Both are shirking duties and that will lead to trouble, but their love and dream calls stronger. #treasonandtea

Igor refused to wake up for a pic.

When you love a book so much you get a tattoo from it with permission from the author :) can‘t spell treason without tea is an lgbtq romance that is so cute and well written I loved every single second of it. If you want a cozy romance with touch her and you die mages and queens guard you should give this a try

I‘m so enjoying this new-to-me cozy fantasy genre. What do you get if you mix a former Queen‘s guard, the land‘s most powerful Mage, small town vibes, romance and tea is a cozy book shop? This gem! If you like Travis Baldree‘s Legends & Lattes, you will have a ball with this one too! #BookspinBingo #popsugar #bookriotreadharderchallenge @TheAromaofBooks

Oh my gosh I loved this book so much!! If you‘re a fan of Legends & Lattes, you‘ll probably enjoy it.

Guardswoman Reyna has finally reached the end of her patience with her abusive queen and escapes the castle, running away to the north with her girlfriend, Kianthe, to open a tea and book store where they both could get some much-needed rest.
They just didn‘t count on dragons, feuding lordlings, and the queen‘s spies.

I spent a lovely day in Talequah, Ok hanging out with a friend. Stopped into Too Fond of Books bookstore. It was lovely. Picked up the tagged book because of if blurb: "You like tea. I like books. Care to open a shop and forget the world exists?" ???

I wanted to like this, but it felt so similar to Legends and Lattes that I was having deja vu. I also found the romance cloying (I don‘t like mushy stuff very much). This book will surely work better for others!

This was such a cozy fantasy 🤗 Inspired by Legends & Lattes, this story touches on every booklover's dream: to run away and start a bookstore/tea shop. Reyna, tired of putting her life at risk every day as the Queen's guard, escapes with her girlfriend, the most powerful mage in the land, to an out of the way town to start their dream shop. It isn't long before their old lives find them, but with the support of new friends they face it together.

I want a bookstore with a magic girlfriend and a griffin. Is that too much to ask?

I am REALLY glad that I spent some time at the park earlier this week because it has gotten super cold again! 😱 I'm working tomorrow, do today has been spent cuddled in bed with tea and books! (and all three kitties! 😹) It's been very cozy! 💕📚

After loving Legends & Lattes, I had to read this cozy fantasy when I heard the author on TikTok saying she got one ⭐️ reviews due to (OMG!) lesbians being in it, apparently a surprise to those readers even though it clearly states it in the blurb. So, I had to give it a try. It‘s not quite L&L for me but overall is quite delightful & the author gives credit to Travis Baldree for inspiring her. Could have used a bit more editing for the number⬇️

The sequel to Can‘t Spell Treason Without Tea isn‘t in the Litsy database yet, but here‘s the dedication to A Pirate‘s Life for Tea. I‘m already in love. 💖

Oh my gourd. I love this so much.

Okay, so if you love Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldtree as much as I do...you might want to read this next! It's being promoted as another cozy fantasy along the same vein as L&L and even though I'm only a little bit of the way through it, I'm already obsessed! 💕📚💕

Reyna was once one of the private guards of a tyrannical & sadistic queen. Kianthe is the powerful mage who wants to be valued for more than her title and power. They run away to open a book & tea shop.

Pacing was fantastic! Danger & tension interspersed with cozy days in the shop. Reyna and Kianthe are a lovely couple, capable of communication even when fighting. World building wasn‘t quite as big as I would‘ve liked. But I loved it! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
