An amazing cozy fantasy! Perfect for the autumn/winter season! Now I need coffee and homemade bread!
Bookshops and Bonedust is a such a delightful prequel that takes us on an adventure of high fantasy, first loves, and second-hand books.
The book starts with Viv, a battle-hungry orc, finding herself recuperating in the sleepy beach town of Murk after being wounded during a hunt for a powerful necromancer. Easily bored with no battles to wage, she spends her time at an old bookshop, forging an unlikely friendship with its foul-mouthed proprietor, a ratkin named Fern. The story then unfolds with eager gnomes, delicious baked goods, suspicious travelers and another unexpected friendship.
Baldree continues to build a cozy fantasy world as was done with the predecessor book, Legends and Lattes. The story told and the character building continues to be heartwarming and oh so satisfying.

It's a light story with low stakes, good friends, and good books. Nice for a rainy day or when you're feeling down.
Back at it again! This time, we follow Viv as she finds herself in a small town called Murk. In this place, she heals, forms friendships, and discovers a love for reading. As we continue our journey through Murk, Viv encounters an enemy who has been waiting for her arrival. Unlike anything expected, this story unfolds like a cozy blanket by a warm fireplace—comforting yet full of surprises.
We return to Viv’s world in this cosy tale of friendship & love.
The prequel to Legends & Lattes, although published afterwards would also stand it’s ground as a standalone read, as would it’s sequel.
This one takes us back to Viv’s adventure era as we see her find her way in a new town while nursing a battle wound.
Another cosy read for fantasy lovers & anyone who appreciates DND! I could have read another 100 pages of this! If you loved the first novel, you’ll adore this.
Also, Satchel deserves his own book!!
