Easily the best introduction I’ve ever seen in a book 🏳️‍🌈💅
A page with text that reads: “To the people who gave me one-star reviews because the first book "had lesbians.' I doubled the lesbians in this one. Just for you.” From the book A Pirate’s Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne

Pride Month is the perfect time to read sapphic cozy fantasy! 🏳️‍🌈

#pridemonth #sapphicbooks #cozyfantasy
The front cover of the novel A Pirate’s Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne. It is book two in her Tomes & Tea series. Additional text reads “A cozy fantasy where love sets sail.” The cover art depicts a woman in the crow’s nest of a ship, with an orange sky above her and birds flying beside her. Front illustration for the novel A Pirate’s Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne. It depicts the two main characters, a brunette woman named Kianthe and a blonde woman named Reyna, on the deck of a ship. Kianthe is leaning forward and reading a book while holding Reyna’s hand. Reyna holds a sword in her other hand. Text at the bottom reads “Knot For Sail” The back cover of the novel A Pirate’s Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne The text is as follows; “"Readers of Travis Baldree and T] Klune will feel right at home with this cozy sapphic romantasy." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ON CAN'T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA Kianthe and Reyna are on the hunt for dragon eggs to save their hometown-but it requires making a deal with Diarn Arlon, lord of the legendary Nacean River. Simply capture the river pirate Serina, who's been plaguing Arlon's supply chains, and bring her in for justice. Easy-peasy. Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of Arlon's constables determined to capture the pirate. Except Bobbie and Serina have a more complicated history than anyone realized, and it might jeopardize everything. While Kianthe and Reyna watch this relationshipwreck from afar, it quickly becomes apparent that these disaster lesbians need all the help they can get. Luckily, matchmaking is Reyna's favorite pastime. The dragon eggs may have to wait.” The art beneath the synopsis depicts a woman with short hair riding a white horse.

I love rereading books! It’s like visiting an old friend.

I usually wait a couple years or so before rereading.

I love gifting books, and I also love getting them as gifts!

It can be hard to just wing it though, you might end up getting them something them they’ve already read or already have on their shelf.

Two of my favorite books- The Travelling Cat Chronicles and The Goodbye Cat by the Japanese author Hiro Arikawa. Both are must reads for cat lovers!

Fair warning for Travelling Cat, it is a bit of a tear jerker
