Ex-mercenary turned bookkeeper, dragon turned chef, and a city that ties your sword up with a ribbon.
Shame the soup's an aphrodisiac, the croissants are naughty and the cakes are zerg sticks (🍆). The cookies are safe, though.

A fantasy murder mystery where the mystery actually holds up.
A kind, capable heroine, a forensics team I adored and no noticeable romance.
Gripping from the first page to the last.

A talking cat brother, a hidden town and a B&B overrun with frogs. Warm, weird and zero romance, which made me cheer. Like a hike with friends that ends with hot chocolate in a mountain hut.

A clever premise and a strong start that slowly loses its grip. Three timelines that sit next to each other rather than connecting. Interesting enough to finish, too scattered to really get lost in.
@wiscon.bsky.socialDid you know the WisCon historian is collecting scans of memorabilia from past WisCons? If you have any great bits from the early days, like stories or programs, we would love it if you would send them to [email protected].

A con, a crew and a story that never stops moving. Two strong leads, a fresh blend of magic and tech, and a finale worth the wait. It just runs a little too fast for its own good, and I lost the rail in the middle.

A vampire who packs his wife's favourite tea for every journey, simply because he promised. Like a slice of Apfelstrudel, layered with banter, mystery and affection, and gone far too quickly. Cosy, clever and a pure delight.

The soft landing after the crash. Like coming home from a great but exhausting trip, kicking off your shoes and sinking into your own bed. The plot takes a nap, and that is exactly the point.

An easy, breezy read you can finish in a day. A quiet stretch in the woods had grit, but once the romance takes the wheel I was rolling my eyes. Made for slow burn and enemies to lovers fans. I'm just not one of them.

A winged saint and a monster who is a severed head. Sharp writing, slice of life, in a strange, blood-soaked world, and a genuine monster I still found relatable. Not fully my type of book, but it knows what it wants to be.

I went in unsure, and the dark slowly pulled me in. Creepy mytery without tipping into horror, with one of the most creative magic systems I've read in a while and a slow burn that earns its quiet ending.

The series has always been warm and cosy. This one hurts. It lets you settle in, then pulls the rug out and keeps pulling, until it feels like your soul is being dragged out through your belly button. Worth every tear.
