Tea, and Family Troubles, and Dragons, Oh My!

A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons: Adenashire, Book Two by J. Penner

October 2, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

Set six months after the events of A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, Dolgrilla Butterbuckle (and isn’t that just a name and a half) has settled in nicely to the village of Ardenshire. Sure, she’s away from her family, but seeing as they have always been disappointed by how she’s chosen to live her life, Doli isn’t too put out by the fact. She has her friends, romance novels, and copious amounts of tea, and nothing seems to be going wrong. Not until her parents […]

“Love is like a good cup of coffee: strong, warm, and comforting”

Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by C.B. Lee

July 26, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

Meanwhile, Kat thinks Brenda is everything she didn’t know she needed; […]

Can I Get Some Cooling Fairies?

A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic: Adenashire, Book One by J. Penner

July 3, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

Who wants to be normal when you can be spectacular? In the heart of Adenashire, a world that is divided into those who have magic and therefore matter, and those who don’t, who matter far less, human baker Arleta Starstone works twice as hard to sell her baked goods, dreaming of stockpiling enough to open the bakery of her dreams. So, when Ervash, her orc neighbor (biggest fan, and with his husband Verdreth, Arleta’s erstwhile father figure) secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Langheim […]
