Well hello! How has it been a month? I apologize for my absence. I got distracted by shiny things…and the flu. Ten out of ten, do not recommend. But I have been reading! And I am currently reading, among other things, Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater.

This fantasy romance set in Regency London is highly enjoyable. I’m about halfway through it, well, this and three other books, and I am so happy with it! It’s my book club’s pick for the month and it is what is now being termed “Cozy Fantasy”, which is low stakes fantasy that makes you feel happy.

It’s about a woman who had half of her soul stolen by a Fae when she was a child and so she grows up not feeling emotions the same way other people do. This condition makes her more likely to cause an accidental scandal. Of course, this also leads her to meet London society’s most unlikeable man, the Lord Sorcier.

What book are you reading now?

Sundays In Bed With…Legends & Lattes

So Sundays In Bed With… is a meme hosted by Midnight Book Girl. It’s an opportunity to share what book is by your bed (or by your current resting space) at the moment. I happened across this meme on Wicked Witch’s Blog. She’s almost done with her Blogtober posts so go give her a follow! She’s fantastic!

Also, I can’t believe we have made it to the end of October! What a crazy month it’s been. The weather has finally turned here and fall has actually arrived which means cooler temps, rainy days, and, unfortunately, headaches. The migraines have been making their presence felt this season. But, I have been able to walk to work a lot, which has been fabulous. The crisp fall air does wonders for my mental health and it also means I can listen to an audiobook for the short walk to work.

Speaking of audiobooks, my current listen is Legends and Lattes. I’ve been listening to this cozy fantasy everywhere I go, or don’t go. I’ve been listening to it while I prep for my next D&D session on the sofa. It seemed appropriate. I’m also thinking of switching to the paperback copy that I have, as I want to know what happens faster than the audiobook can get to it!!!

Here’s the blurb:

After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time.

The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success ― not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is.

If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won’t be able to go it alone.

But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.

As a side note if you decide to read/listen to this the way the author, Travis Baldree, describes the food in this book is positively sinful. It makes me want to go raid a bakery every time I hear him describe something.
