December #bookspin and #doublespin picks! Looking forward to both these books!
Every year at Fountain Bookstore, we all have to pick our Top Ten Books of the year (published in the current year) to share on Small Business Saturday. Here‘s mine, and you can check all of ours on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/p/DDAY1t_JYKB/?igsh=dDFoejk2OWg1Mncy
pickThis book is a warm hug and so sweet it could likely be substituted for a cup sugar in seasonal baking. I think what worked for me with this collection of misfits was it was less about how the world did them wrong as it was about how each believed themselves unworthy until they opened themselves up to friendship.
"Did you just say you were going over my head by going to Kraken?"
"Your Majesty, it's just us two here. We both know if that cat wanted it to be so, he'd burn the castle to the ground with us inside and still be worshipped by all of Daxaria. Of course he's our superior."
pick#VacationReading—the book I read (mostly on the plane)& the book I bought while in Key West! My husband and friends were nice enough to make the trek to both bookstores & I couldn‘t resist a signed book(& tote)! As for my November #BOTM pick, this found family fantasy made me feel nostalgic, would be great to read out loud to a younger reader & could‘ve used a map! I appreciated the thorough ending that tied up literally everything! Strong debut!
pickThis one was so good I had to buy a paperback when I forgot my BOTM copy at work on Friday! I liked all of the characters and the ending was cool, but I do think the twist of Tao‘s vision (all I can say without spoiling) went a touch dark for a cozy fantasy.

Pub Day was 05 November
Tao travels the country in a mule-drawn wagon and tells fortunes. She is a teller of small fortunes, larger fortunes come with consequences and so she sticks to the small ones. On her journey she makes friends with a former mercenary and a reformed thief, who are looking for a lost child, as well as an apprentice baker and her slightly magical cat.
The story is like being on a low stakes ⬇️
so-soBook 35 of 2024: This was pick 3 for #CBBC. I was not a fan of this book. Although, I enjoyed the plot and suspense leading up to the climax of “whodunit“ i was not a fan of the romance with a ghost nor the excess detail (in my opinion) of surroundings. Not a series I will continue by choice. 🌟🌟 🌟/5
Another preorder arrived! If i didnt already have it on preorder it definitely would have been my BOTM pick!
