Rediscovering my love for reading.
I'm 34 years old. The last time I read a book (that wasn't a ttrpg) was ... So long ago I don't even remember. Over a decade for sure. I remember my roommate talking about an audiobook that she borrowed on libby, about an orc who opens a cafe, I thought, 'thats cute, might give it a try some time'.
Fast-forward a few months, I go browsing for more cozy subreddits to engage with, because -gestures at the world-, and stumbled into this one (tbh I didn't register the book icon lol, thought it was more about like, images, vibes, and prompts, etc). Saw post after post about legends & lattes, thought, 'hey that's cute, should check it out sometime'.
Tell my roommate about it and she was like 'yeah, that was the one I was telling you about!' And then I couldn't stop thinking about it lol, so this morning I got a library card for, again, the first time in forever.
Well, legends & lattes has a sixteen week waiting list! (Honestly, good for the author!) So I checked out the prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust. And honestly, this I think is the perfect cozy book for rediscovering my love for reading, and I will be checking out other suggestions as I wait for legends & lattes (and its announced sequel!) to become available!
I think the next one I want to look at is A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking.
Happy reading to you all!
