Shelf Quest

I’m so glad I stuck with this series because I absolutely loved this book. With the first book (The Spellshop) I fell in love with the world but did not connect with the characters as much as I would have liked. In the second book (The Enchanted Greenhouse), I felt so disconnected with and annoyed by Terlu, the main character, and really put out by the incessant talking about plant pronouns that I DNF’d the audiobook.So.I don’t know if the…

The Book Witch has so many twists and surprises in it! Rainy March is a book witch, which means she can use her magic umbrella and enter books in order to put them back to rights if things go wrong. She gets put on a probation of sorts when she falls in love with a character in a book she’s sent to fix, and they get caught. This was such a fun read with so many characters (not too many…

Okay, actually I just thought of one negative thing to say. All of the men seem to be attracted to Maggie in a big way…

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter is a good book set in an interesting world. I didn’t care much for our main character, Agnes. It felt like if she were a real person who was that not put together, things would not go nearly as well for her. The cat shelter aspect of the book seemed to be more in the background than the title would suggest, and the book was more focused on magicians. It wasn’t a book I flew…

I do enjoy this world quite a lot; to me it feels like a violent-yet-cozy intimate look into a quest in World of Warcraft. Though unfortunately I did not find this follow-up book to Legends & Lattes as enjoyable or immersible as the first book in the series. I think my issue, and the cause of the two stars removed, is with Fern, the main character. She accidentally abandons the bookshop she just opened next to Viv’s coffee shop, and…
