Legends & Lattes (Travis Baldree)
Dipping into something cozy and soothing is a concept most of us came to appreciate during the last difficult years, I believe. With the pandemic, but also our hectic modern life, enjoying the simple things and the conncetion to others became something to strive for again. The retreat into the sanction of the home or…

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (Shannon Chakraborty)
Easiest. 5 stars. Ever. This was pure enjoyment! I love me a good pirate story and somehow Shannon Chakraborty managed to put all the elements I love together in this book, which is – thank God – the first one in a new series (The Amina-al-Sirafi Series). This book was a blast from the first…
