This story is just a dark story about growing up in rural America with lot of christian suppression of young females. It makes me sad but this book also gives me hope for the girls of the future

 I heard many amazing things about this book. It even was compared to legends and lattes (my favourite cosy fantasy) and it didn’t disappoint. I found the found family emphasis amazing and very strong. I read it in one day and i feel a good cosy fantasy does that to you. When you get sucked into to world you simply don’t want to leave and when it’s over you have a lovely warm feeling and feel kind of sad to. To leave you’re new friends behind.

This story is very original and you can really tell that the story is influenced by Latin America which brig such colour to the story. But also I need the second part of this series.

This was the cutest regency lgbtq+ graphic novel/story i have read in recent time. I would definitely recommend people to read this it felt very historical accurate in most part. There is even an history part in the back about the lgbtq community in that time. 10/10 would recommend 

Cauldrons and Cat Tails: A Cozy Fantasy Romance by Hailey Blackwood

funny medium-paced

4.25

I want to thank Hailey Blackwood for giving me an Arc to this lovely book. 

Cauldrons and Cat Tails is the right amount off off lowstakes for me to keep it cozy. The spice was spicy. Kizzi is so obvious for Tandor that it kind off cute how desperate Tandor gets. 

This book has all the vibes and not just for autumn but for every season or when you need to read a book under the blanket with a cup of tea

Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

Side Quest: A Visual History of Roleplaying Games by Samuel Sattin

informative fast-paced

3.75

First I want to thank NetGalley and harper360 for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. But all the opinions are mine.


For years I wanted to get into ttrpg but I was so scared to start. But reading about the history of the ttrpg and where they come from made me more comfortable to maybe get more into it.
But if you’re not a beginner in ttrpg this book will be very interesting to learn about the history and influence of ttrpg. 

I loved the art still which was really clear and because of all the information you will learn. The art didn’t distract from the text.

Definitely would read again mostly to pick up all the things I mist reading it the first time.
