Sometimes you need something cozy and heartwarming where a dwarf and an orc can fall in love over pastries and 'moist' books. These books are the literary equivalent of a comfortable chair in front of a cheerful fire with a good story in your hand and a mug of coffee and some sweet treat on the table beside you while a pleasant rain tinkles to the ground outside. Cozy and warm and lovely.

Of course, now I need to immediately re-read Legends and Lattes.

I wish I had a babysitter like Mary Dunlavy. But what can I say, it's a Seanan McGuire Incryptid Novel, there's never been one that I didn't love, and I loved this one. It did, however, absolutely break my heart. The stakes are high and the consequences terrible in this one.

This is an old favorite of mine that I dug out after having a bit of a craving. Diane's always been one of the author's I feel really gets the TOS characters right.

I adored the incredibly distracted scholar, Mr. Aubrey, when I read Scales and Sensibility, so it's little wonder that this book, with both protagonists more appealing to my tastes. Rose was easy to identify with, as we share a number of traits, not the least a tendency to take care of everyone else while forgetting to take care of ourselves. A fun read.

This was incredibly cute and a fun read. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything with a cute magical pet in it, and our two protagonists were lovely, but I think my favorite character in the book was the poor scholarly Mr. Aubrey, beset on all sides by people insisting on him participating in society, the horror! (I have often felt the same, Mr. Aubrey.) So, since it seems he's one of the protagonists in the sequel, I may jump right on in there for my next read.
