Cozy fantasy and Sci-fi are my self care reads. I love a good magic system and dragons are always welcome. I like my Sci-fi LGBTQ+ positive. YA and Romance fill a sweet spot. And I never underestimate good children's fiction! (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Dome’Loki's Quick Questions interview.)

Fish out of water in deep political intrigue

The Goblin Emporer by Katherine Addison

by 5 Comments

I honestly don’t remember how The Goblin Emperor got on my radar (Cannonball Read is a high possibility!) but it intrigued me enough to write it down on my list of books I’m interested in.  To make sure there were plenty of options for my family to get me books for our family Winter Solstice book exchange, I put it on the list, and my daughter picked it for me.  It’s the type of fantasy that is mostly fantasy through mentioned details: no dragons, no epic battles, […]

Prolonging my time in the Cold Magic world with short stories and essays

The World Begins in Ice by Kate Elliott

by Leave a Comment

I first learned about Kate Elliott’s Cold Magic series while reading John Scalzi’s website.  In the Big Idea section Elliott described what The History of the World Begins in Ice is all about.  It is a collection of short stories written in the “Spiritwalker Trilogy” as well as essays about the characters and aspects of the world.  The trilogy sounded fascinating, to quote Kate: When I began writing Cold Magic, my primary goal (besides making it shorter than Traitors’ Gate) was to tell a story that would […]

“Books are a weapon against lonliness. Putting them in the right hands lets people see one another. It makes us…better to one another”.

Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree

by Leave a Comment

Brigands and Breadknives returns us to Travis Baldree’s cozy fantasy world.  While the first book, Legends and Lattes, and the second published book (that’s actually a prequel), Bookshops and Bonedust, are able to be read on their own, Breadknives and Brigands requires you to have read Bookshops and Bonedust, and it’s helpful if you’ve read Legends and Lattes. Foul mouthed rattkin bookseller, Fern, has been adrift in her own life.  Running her bookstore in Murk is no longer giving her the satisfaction it once did.  A change of […]

Cold magic, revolution, and love

Cold Magic by Kate Elliott

Cold Fire by Kate Elliott

Cold Steel by Kate Elliott

This review is for emmalita.  I haven’t been writing reviews in months due to life reasons but I wanted to share with her how awesome I found this trilogy.  Instead of writing her a bunch of texts, I decided it was time to write a review.  Emmalita introduced me to Kate Elliott with The Keeper’s Six.  Earlier this year I devoured Elliott’s’ The Witch Roads and it got me wanting to explore her back catalog so I got the audiobook version of Cold Magic, book one […]

Thank you, narfna!

When The Raven Scholar arrived, I was delighted as it has not been on my radar but it does sound like something I will quite enjoy.  Since receiving it, I keep seeing it pop up online as recommended and now I’m even more excited to read it!  Then F*cked Up Fairy Tales arrived a few days later and I couldn’t have been more stoked.  I’ve been following Cosbrarian online since 2020 and I’m delighted to read her book.  Thank you for such thoughtful picks!

I feel the title should have been Malibu *Burning*

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

by 1 Comment

Bingo: Play – Surfing is an important part of this family. My introduction to Taylor Jenkins Read was Daisy Jones and the Six.  I then went on to Carrie Soto is Back and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.  All listened to in audiobook format, which were amazing.  Highly recommend them.  It was a happy day when I found Malibu Rising in a free little library.  I needed a book to take to the beach a week ago and this seemed like the perfect candidate. It was nice […]
