Read for #Roll100 as #57 Any #BOTM Cozy fantasy has become a favorite genre of mine & this was a sweet story with a found family, which I also love. Tao is a seer who masquerades as a teller of small fortunes to stay under the radar of the Guild. A loner except for her cart & donkey, she finds herself traveling with 3 strangers who become her friends/family on a quest to help one of them. Good balm for a dark January.

My current in progress reads. Though to be fair, some have been languishing longer than the others. I'm also listening to The Simarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien through libro, and the top one is my Kindle, where I'm reading Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfheart. This is why it takes me so long to finish a book. I'm a bit erratic. Who else is a mood reader?

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourMarathon

For #HyggeHour tonight, I was going to try to finish up this one for #Roll100 but thunder, lightening & heavy rain started & the power just went out after I took this pic, so I‘ll probably switch to something on my Kindle. I will eat my Lilikoi monk seal bread & finish my tea.

Mood is grumpy about no power & that tomorrow is Monday, but lilikoi cream makes things a little better. 😋

A little coffee shop time this afternoon

Leftover from #WinterGames this was a solid cosy murder mystery

I think this was a #readordonate from December @julieclair

I'm sorry to say that I simply didn't find this book to be very good. Granted, it's the third in a series. The stories stand alone, but there were references to previous stories, like many mystery series. I would have bailed if it weren't a mystery. I wanted to know whodunit, but the ending fell flat for me. It simply wasn't very creative or well-written, in my opinion.

My #SaturdayChatterday is the usual, running errands & coffeeshop time.

I finished this short story from the Shady Hollow series as part of my #ThematicCozies for January #Animal It‘s a bit out of season with it‘s October/Halloween setting but I missed it in October & wanted to check it off to be completely caught up with this series. A quick read with Vera & the down looking for a young squirrel possibly ⬇️

5/5

Tao is a traveling fortune teller who only tells small fortunes to avoid the mage guild's notice. She meets a thief, an ex-mercenary looking for his daughter, Leah, and a baker as they travel across Eshtera reading fortunes and looking for Leah.

This was a really wonderful book that did a great job including low stakes adventures, found family, and loneliness while feeling like a fresh cozy fantasy story.

This book flirts on the edge between cosy low stakes fantasy and fantasy quite well. Coulda have gone either way right up til the end. Well done. 4.25 ⭐️

If a man is a reformed thief/bandit… is he still considered morally grey? Cause I have immediately fallen in love with Silt because he seems to be a chaos gremlin… and I respect that.
