A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (Monk & Robot, #2) by Becky Chambers

November 1, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

"You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be." Still cozy aspirational goodness, and more friendship this time.

A good time, but not my favorite of Hibbert’s books.

That Kind of Guy (Ravenswood, #3) by Talia Hibbert

November 1, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

The third act breakup in this one pooped the bed, but I really liked the rest of it.

If you don’t love Book 1, do you keep going with Book 2?

The Conductors by Nicole Glover

November 1, 2022 by Bothari43 Leave a Comment

I have a coworker who says “I don’t want to get out over my skis” a lot. I had never heard that expression before, but this book really feels like it encapsulates the phrase. The ideas are interesting, and the two main characters are great, but it feels like the story and the writing never quite … [Read more]

Young love and demon hunting

Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

November 1, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Cozy (this is a super-sweet YA comic. While there are some dark themes, the main vibe here is absolutely cozy.) Nova Huang (she/her) is an orphaned young witch, although she sees the ghosts of her parents during each major holiday, and sometimes just when they feel she might need … [Read more]
