As an immigrant estranged from her family, Tao has gotten used to a solitary traveling life with only her mule for company. But then she starts encountering others on their own complicated journeys, and everything changes. A sweet, comfortable found family story, though it goes off the rails in the middle which stopped me from loving it as much as I might have.

“I would ask you to remember Tao, as one woman with power to another--the greater good much always come before the personal.“
“No,“ said Tao. Here, at last, was something she was sure off--something that she had learned in her journeys, that perhaps the High Mage had not. “You're wrong. There's no such thing as greater good--there's just good, and the more of it we can do, the better.“

It's been some time since I read a book that pulled me into the story so much that I forgot I was reading about fictional characters. Yes, sure, it's unlikely I'll meet a speaking fox in my life and there might not be real magic out there, but all the characters felt very real. Believable backstories, believable problems and struggles.
I want to visit Batty Hole Inn and hug all of them.

pickThis book was wild. A person is murderer during an extreme croquet tournament and there are a zillion wacky characters who might have done it. This series has been growing on me and I‘m going to have to go back and start at the beginning one of these days.
This was my April sports themed #ThematicCozy
pickI easily binged this series. The mysteries were fun and i enjoy the relationships between the various characters.

I would love to visit and enjoy the delicious coffee and treats from Torte the bakeshop in the bakeshop mystery series by Ellie Alexander!
Closing the book, she lay down on the bed. A day well spent is a life well lived. Thinking about the line she‘d read somewhere, she would drift off to sleep.
