Happy Publication Day to Tusks, Tails, & Teacakes! This was the latest ARC I've read, and it was such a sweet and cozy read. The perfect blend of dnd and a Hallmark movie, with strong emphasis on found family.

"On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun."

My newest Tolkien book, I'm so excited to start reading it!

"Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway."
