As Fall weather has begun teasing us at the end of August, I’m trying to get another sweater done before the season really starts. I’m using a pattern from a magazine featuring 90’s style knits (with just a few creative changes). Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree has me in the mood for a big comfy sweater with a hit of nostalgia.
This book kept popping up in my news feed, comment recommendations, and searches. I finally got around to borrowing it from the library. If you want a relaxing fantasy that’s not too soft, this is perfect. “High fantasy with low stakes” I believe is the quote.
An ogre leaves behind being a sword for hire to open a coffee shop in a place that has never heard of coffee. Navigating a new way to live, she brings together a motley crew of interesting characters. There’s a touch of sapphic romance too.
It was a delightful book to finish Summer with. Happy reading!
