Looks like coffees back on the menu boys.
Jaenen
An absolutely delightful book, I'll recomend it as well
Sarah6race
Omg I just finished reading this! What a delight!!
custardlightning
Came across it before but didn’t put it in my to-read list. But I just now did. Glad you enjoyed it and thx for the rec
ThisGuyHere
The cover art itself has me interested.
BurgermeisterMeisterburger
I just read this yesterday and loved it! The perfect cozy fantasy palate cleanser!
Booniecat
I am a pretty big reader, and just loved loved loved this book. Recommended to me as "cozy fantasy" which was a great description.
FabulouslyTiti
I cannot recommend this book enough! It is heartwarming, interesting, engaging and everything at the same time! Such a delight! ♥
sebert81
Read it a couple of months ago. Nice and wholesome read.
langri
Thimble is the best character in the book. I will hear no arguments.
Why would there be? You’re right
Provos
Silly orc makes bean water drinks.
JustBoone
I seen this in my recommendations awhile back, may have to puck it up if another Imgurian says it was good!
Alonseeee
It was really really good
imsurroundedbyassholes
Saw that when I picked up the vax and vex origin book, planning on reading it next.
Yesssss! Kith and Kin was a delight to read as well! ♥
nemet
The quote at the top of the cover is from my favourite author. It's a very cozy book and really enjoyable.
zhaulus
She is also how I found this book, off her twitter, have read a good chunk of her books too.
Yall, please look into the Cradle series that this author narrated for Will Wight. That is how I found this book. Travis B is awesome.
patmynuggets
Yes. This. 1000%
Beartornado
Personally found Travis through Artorian's Archives, sad he's no longer narrating the latest entries.
KrombopulosMicah
I cannottt wait for Waybound!
mystichead
It really was good...I got it on kindle.. Just on a whim... Surprised me
jridley
I checked - my library has it. It's in such demand that it looks liked my hold will come up in late summer.
MrTay
Travis baldree is a great narrator. I did t even know he was an author also. If he narrates a book it’s good basically. There’s a few I 1/
Just listen through their caroling when looking for series and he’s one of them.
tsk92
Where do you find that particular cover? The one on Amazon is much more boring.
Wife got it from Amazon
JayCeeCorrigan
I AM a huge reader, and I thought it was a great read. Surprisingly good story, cute and with a bit of humor. But not a 'schtick'
HasteTheFool
How huge? Fezzik sized? Are paperbacks a bit fiddly for you?
RalphH
This sounds absolutely stupid! (will buy it right now!)
KuldFyt
It's tremendously charming.
Crazyaussiecanadian
I went to buy it. $26 for a 300 page book. I'm gonna pass.
It is 15€ here in Germany, sadly with the other cover.
That’s it exactly!!! Stupid fun times
Redshadow09
I heard a lot about this book and wish I could get it one day
EmporerDragon
There's just something about the slow-life fantasy subgenre that makes for a nice, comfortable read.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
You will probably like "Beware of Chicken: A Xianxia Cultivation Novel"
frozenchicken
Seconding this. Protagonist looks at the harsh and troubled life of a fantasy ki cultivator and goes 'No thanks. I'm gonna go start a farm'.
elinveronicap
Well-written Cosy Fantasy is the best. It's like a cup of tea, under a fuzzy blanket, floofy animal on my feet -comfy.
Helixninja333
Reminds me of the game Coffee Talk or if I stretch a bit, VA-11 Hall-A.
shawns11385772
I absolutely adore those games!
Vahalla was the only game i play formed on the Vita. And coffee talk was amazing. The NG+ was a surprise
dwolvin
Are there sexyfuntimes? I'm looking for something for a frustratingly prudish reader...
wifemeat
I consider it very tame. There’s a sweet romance, with no explicit content.
HomoSumHumaniAMeNihilAlienumPuto
Nothing R-Rated. PG-13 at best, and that is mostly because it's LBGTQ. Most sexually explicit thing in it is a kiss.
Asadsadsadclown
I mean the two on the cover are definitely fuckin'
I’ve yet to come across any naked bouncy yum yum times and I’m halfway through
pumper
There is none. It is only implied that they are both lesbians/bi, but nothing happens.
Cool- I almost forwarded Alfie based on the art... Then read some and it's pretty bawdy.
I’m over half way done and I wouldn’t say it’s bawdy but to each their own
I was being silly- Alfie is a pretty graphic comic. But the book is already on the way!
@op if you are interested, the Author Travis Baldree is also a narrator. He narrated his own book and many others on audible.
baconpower
*thoughts of Waybound intensifies*
SpacemanSpiff1000
Yea I had no idea he was also a writer. He is easily in my top 3 of narrators.
meauho
His narration is what gets me wanting the book but the audiobook is so short and I hate paying that much for so few hours
I stumbled over him from the awesome Dakota Krout books.
That’s what my son mentioned. I’m trying to read more and not pay audible so much
RJK1988
It's on Libby
nomorehate
Tokybooks has a lot of audiobooks for free, I'm just not sure how legal it is lol
VolcanoHerder
Lots of libraries rent ebooks just fyi
highstream
Not for independent authors. Audible gives them 40% of sales if they are exclusive but only 25% if they allow others including libraries.
Wow neither of those %s seems remotely high enough
I learned that from Brandon sanderson. For his new project he opted to work with Spotify and speechify instead
HelaSisterOfThor
Thank you for the review! I was looking at this at the book store this week. I'll put it on my list. I bought like 8 books this week...
m67fc
8? I bought my niece a book she wanted for Christmas. $26 for what I’d consider a paperback.
I had a gift card that funded some of it. Bought 2 or 3 at the used book store. Target had a great online sale for books!
NZSheeps
Cutting back?
Ugh the to be read pile is out of control lol
fedupwithhumanity
The comfort of rereading outweighs the risk of 'new and maybe sucks' so often
TakeYouAway
"Buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies"
They sure are!
Hadespuppy
Much like craft supplies and crafting.
kevbot5000
I had to institute a meta pile. I have lists of things to read but I can't get new books until I am on the last physical book I acquired.
I grandfathered all the books I had acquired prior to that idea. Been chipping away at that pile for years and it is ridiculous but less so.
When I worked in an office I got a lot of reading done because I'd read on the train. 2 hours per day of reading. Not so much now that I'm
LittleLordThudleroy
That sounds like something that came from a Tumblr post
hatsuseno
I understand this originated as a nanowrimo submission, so close enough!
unicornsdonotexist
It’s by the guy who did Torchlight 1 & 2
barrocoyote
Terrible, I agree
Dude, you're on Imgur. For most of humanity there's very little difference between an imgurite and a Tumbleroner, if any.
That would explain Imgur's massive quality drop over the years yes
FlatPlutoSociety
Imgur is like 30% Tumblr screen shots. It's wild that people who use this site shit on Tumblr so frequenty.
Burke616
It's the same mentality that has conservatives shit on women, minorities, and the queer community while also wanting them so bad.
Be fair, "person starts a thing we modern folk recognize in a fantasy setting and locals react" is also very Terry Pratchett.
DnZeroes
In-shur-ants?
theuberkevlar
While that's not untrue I'm going to have to ask you to Please refrain from insulting my boy Terry P by comparing him to Tumblr ilk.
Neil Gaiman is on Tumblr. If Pterry were still alive, I wouldn't be surprised to see him there, too. Unclench, snob.
sturmhauke
Tumblr goes overboard sometimes, but there's good stuff there too.
Don't get your gender neutral panties in a bunch.
RoyalWithChz
Wow. That was pretty uncool. Thumbs down, man. Be better.
Sir Pterry would be very disappointed in your attitude.
Shickzilla
Read it and loved it! Great read for a NaNoWriMo product. Hope they write more!
ralmar414
Good news! He's working on another book.
WillowFox
I still haven't finished Harriet Porber trans wizard i can't commit yet godammit
ArchMagos
Oh shit, it was a NaNoWriMo project. That's awesome!
DrewBerg
What's that string of letters mean?
National Novel Writing Month, commonly known by the acronym NaNoWriMo, is a creative writing challenge that happens annually every November.
Cool, so this book was a result of that?
Yep. Written during the month and quite the fun read,
I think there's a prequel in the works.
lordofthedice
I'm sorry, NaNowhat now?
strawberryswisherss
National Novel Writing Month. All November pretty much
HedonistBeard
You know no nut november? Well for much longer writers have been doing the exact opposite, trying to nut as much wordsauce as possible.
L33TLasagna
Why you have to say it like that...

fandsor
Writers try to write 50K words in the month of November. It's a challenge every year.
pxlphile
And it's pretty awesome too (while also heavily energy draining if you have a family to tend to)
Sauroctonus
Like a big ol' jam session... for writers?
Exactly!
Tiberyn
Damn I wish I knew about it. Though I have a really difficult time writing more than a few pages. :/
lemjau
It's a way to stop thinking and keep writing. Quantity first, quality later. There are forums and active online groups too.
Rogahar
What lemjau said - also, remember that any is better than none. I tasked my husband to finally write out the framework for a novel he's >
> been planning, and while I don't think it was anywhere near 50,000 words, he *does* now have almost the whole thing planned out. Just >
I did it last year. What really helped was being in a discord dedicated to it and doing writing sprints every day.
amglasgow
Do... this is very important. Do the orc... I need to know... do the orc and the tiefling kiss?
blitzzer
That tail on those biceps is mighty suspicious, in that regard.
Faxu
This book was hugely PG-13, the romance was mostly just implied in a will they/won't they way. Sweet, beautiful, wonderful book.
liriodelagua
Yes, but it's a succubus. They kiss in a wholesome way, not a smutty way.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Does the orc become a vampire?
Gogoglovitch
No, she becomes a barista.
whitefoxkei
Ah, so she's the one getting her blood drained.
I would have used a different rimshot gif but couldn't find it
