  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Ali...

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new Today I bring you a book review,  Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree Publish February 22, 2022 by Cryptid Press Fantasy  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legends & Lattes felt like a warm hug. I would call it "cozy fantasy" which sometimes is just what you need.  Viv is an Orc who has decided that it was time for her to leave behind her warrior days and set down some roots. To have a fresh start in life. So what does she do? She opens a coffee shop. A gnomish invention she discovered along her travels. But here's the catch the city that she has decided to settle in has no idea what coffee is. So opening up a coffee shop is going to require some help. In doing so she makes some great friends and relationships as a result. The secondary characters in this book are so very loveable especially Cal the Hob. I adore Cal. One of my favourite fantasy characters is Flint Fireforge from the Dragonlance books. And Cal is giving ...
