There’s a lot of tea, and an adorable tiny house on a bike(?) and there is an actual Treatise on Beds that people consult when planning out their new cozy sleeping arrangements! There is also a FRIENDLY ROBOT. My only quibble is that I got an ebook version and didn’t know how long it was, so *just* when I was settling in and really getting ready for a nice cozy read, IT ENDED! It’s a novella! I was so mad. This is not a book, it’s one third of a book. One third of a very delightful and did I mention? very cozy book. ...more

There are unpleasant surprises hiding everywhere, and horrible gross monsters waiting to kill you around every corner. Oh and let’s look at class and privilege a little more closely. But also it’s funny and human and full of enjoyable magical details! It hasn’t even been published yet and I’m already mad that I can’t read the sequel till next year....more

I can't decide if it's the writing itself or the situations, but I could never totally settle in. Probably just me. That being said, this was charming AF and would make a delightful addition to any cozy evening or hot-chocolate cafe outing. We need more stories like this where the protagonists are over 50! ...more
