5.0

An adorable alternate universe Regency Romance with just the right touch of magic in the form of everyone's big bad brought down to shoulder accessory scale and, well, not bad. This was the perfect long weekend read, enough strife to keep me engaged and turning the pages, but not so much that I had to simply put it down and be done. I'll be recommending it to my friends!

4.0

Another in a really sweet cozy, paranormal mystery series. With witches and ghosts running loose, the Great Baking Tent is full of more pressure than just the beautiful cakes. And poor Poppy always seems to get caught up in the latest mystery in the town of Bromewoode.

I continue to enjoy this series as each new mystery pops up, as well as the story arch over the whole series. I especially like that it will be pre-deteremined number of books and hopefully the big mystery will be resolved!

I love the characters, I love the setting. But mainly becuase I've now read two of TJ Klune's book and he "doesn't drop the other shoe." The Stores are beautiful and uplifting and comforting.
