After reading Luke & the Longest Night: A Wheel of the Year Book I found more Moon Dust Press titles to read. I am not pagan or an earth-centered person/witch, or into wicca, but I do find it interesting and wish to know more about the subjects. Therefore, my local library was kind enough to find four more titles for me to read. The first book the publisher released in 2020 was C is for Coven: A Witchcraft Alphabet Book by Andrea Stein. It is […]

Another Cozy Fantasy

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been very much in the mood lately (absolutely always) for stories that feel like a mental warm hug. This being the prequel to Baldree’s lovely Legends & Lattes, we encounter our old friend Viv at the beginning of her mercenary journey. It is not going very well. Viv is very badly injured while being reckless in pursuit of a famous necromancer. The mercenary company she belongs to drop her off in a sleepy seaside town to rest and recuperate before hopefully coming back for […]

I’m on a Reading Roll – Which Makes It Hard to Keep Up With Reviews

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers I think I only have one Becky Chambers book left to read, and then I’ll have to wait for her to come back from the hiatus she’s currently on. I enjoyed both of the Monk and Robot books, though for some reason they don’t seem to be quite sticking with me the way the Wayfarers books did. Both novellas follow monk Dex and robot Mosscap and are mostly about their relationship […]

This isn’t an eighties sitcom. I can’t casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief.

The Sunken Mall by K.D. Edwards

Scenes from Quarantine by K.D. Edwards

Scenes from the Holidays by K.D. Edwards

The Great Atlantean Battle Royalchemy by K.D. Edwards

by 2 Comments

These are a series of novellas meant to fill in gaps between the three books in the Tarot Sequence. I’m reviewing them because it gives me an excuse to share more epic quotes from my favorite new characters. The Sunken Mall I had started to pull on my magical sight when Ciaran spotted a convenience store pharmacy combo behind us called CVS. He pointed and said, “You will leave that store alone in particular. I called dibs. Anything with a -cet after it goes in […]

We’ve been growing a monster repellent this whole time?

“Who wouldn’t want to go off on a grand adventure with a bunch of hot heroes also chosen by the goddess?” Me bitches. No thank you. Biceps were nice, but so was not having my guts eaten by an orc. Cinnamon, whose family grows and sells spices, is partying it up with her best friend Brie, the local cheesemonger. Her village is celebrating because Myva, the local goddess, has chosen the local champion, Priscilla, to go off and be a hero and rid the land […]

The witch and werewolf go to school and some other things…but it’s not a romance

The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods by Svetlana Chmakova

by Leave a Comment

Where do witches go to school? Well if you are the kids in this book, and are a special kind of witch called a Weirn, you go to the school the humans do. Only at night, after everyone has left and magic makes it morph into a school for the magical creatures. All the usual suspects are there in Svetlana Chmakova’s graphic novel, The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, the mean girl (who used to be a friend and has […]
