Nat reviews Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I must confess that I’d seen the cover of Legends and Lattes pop up a number of times and thought to myself, eh, too much of a high fantasy book for my tastes. Well, I should know better by now than write off a book based on genre,Read More
