Ages ago, I ordered the Rainbow Crate All For The Game special edition box - and the whole thing seemed like one problem after the other, starting with wrong details on dust jackets BUT also for me a damaged book - which was eventually replaced with an even more damaged book… third time lucky and this one is what I expected to get the first time!
Love a heartwarming found family situation, especially with lots of baked goods
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 was delightful and real and messy and sweet. Just loved it. A one night stand leads to an unplanned pregnancy, leaving our young heroine to navigate a new path with a man she barely knows and shifting all her other relationships as well. The audiobook was top notch - narrator Alex Finley is terrific. This is my first book by this author and I‘ll definitely read another.
