OMG, a LEGENDS & LATTES graphic novel is about to hit the shelves O.O
Legends & Lattes is a warm and loving book about "high fantasy and low stakes", and it's such a heart-warming read 😍
I can't recommend it enough!
Also, by now there are two (and a half) more books from this universe, which I totally missed :)

#01 (2026-07-09) #LegendsAndLattes
I finished the main story back in April, and finally picked the book up again a few days ago to read the last few pages of the prequel story at the end.
A very sweet, cozy, and queer story about Viv—an orcish former swordswoman—who has given up her mercenary life to open up a coffee shop. And the friends she makes along the way.
Kind of Pratchetty in style, but a bit light on character descriptions.

Zyll the goblin is pure chaotic energy and I loved every second of it. Brigands and Breadknives is the third book in Travis Baldree's cozy fantasy world and while it's not quite my favorite of the three the characters alone make it worth reading. Four stars.

Tales From The Territory: A Cosy ARC Book Review
Tales from the Territory is exactly what you’d expect from a compendium of short stories from the Legends & Lattes world. They are fun, cosy, and filled to the brim with wholesome and heart warming interactions, lovely character experiences, and overcoming difficulties.https://collectingandreading.co.uk/2026/05/28/tales-from-the-territory-a-cosy-arc-book-review/

Started reading #LegendsAndLattes by Travis Baldree
(@travisbaldree) just now. I think I've had the book for a couple of years now.Can't say much about it yet, as I'm not past chapter 1, but I do enjoy the voice/writing style so far. (Although I would have liked at least some brief descriptions of some named characters and objects featured so far.)

Me texting friend: Did you know that the third book in the Legends and Lattes series comes out tomorrow?
Her: I get mine tonight! We're headed to Travis's book signing right now!
---
She's north of me and I think she must be going to Portland? That's two hours away. I am right now tempted to drive two hours to meet Travis Baldree. 😂

Greenteeth
May 20, 2025GREENTEETH rating: four stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
What a debut! After yesterday–because I read the cozy fantasy GREENTEETH (Orbit/Hachette, February 25, 2025) in a single day–I’m a new fan of author Molly O’Neill. She knows her myths.
A goblin, a river spirit, and a witch walk into a bar. . .no, actually, they walk into the court of the Fairy King and Queen by way of enchanted fairy roads, and are given three quests in order to craft a magic weapon to defeat the bad guy. Can you resist this premise? You aren’t my people if you can.
A preacher shows up in a medieval English backwater called Chipping Appleby and turns out to be possessed by a wicked and ancient being, the Erl King. He doesn’t condemn Temperance Crump to death by drowning out of mere prejudice against healing women: Temperance doesn’t realize what a powerful sorceress she is, and therefore a threat to “Pastor Braddock’s” nefarious plans. Temperance is saved from death by Jenny Greenteeth, also a very ancient being, who lives in the river. As folklorist and podcaster Icy Sedgwick explains in her “Strange River Folklore: River Gods and Dark Spirits”: “[T]he grindylow appears in British folklore as a cautionary tale. Sometimes known as Jenny Greenteeth, the grindylow lurks in English rivers, ponds and marshes. According to the legends, these nasty critters dragged children into the deepest parts of the rivers if they ventured into the shallows.” (icysedgwick.com, “Folklore,” March 13, 2021). Despite her reputation, Jenny is good-hearted and keeps her river quite neat and tidy.
I was delighted with Jenny’s narrative voice from the very first sentence. This is how you do a first-person narrator.
Jenny pulls Temperance into her river cave full of treasures and they become friends. . .mostly. It’s a troubled friendship, full of misunderstandings. Temperance wants to go back to her family (without being executed for witchcraft again) and needs the help of Jenny’s deep power drawn from the river. They are driven to seeking the assistance of the Fairy King when they fail miserably to defeat the evil Erl King who has possessed Braddock’s body.
For three quests you need at least three questers, and the witty goblin Brackus, who sells treasures from the goblin market from his bottomless sack, makes up a third. It’s his idea to seek out the Fairy King who used to lead the Wild Hunt before he went into retirement. As a traveling salesman, Brackus knows the roads, including the fairy roads, and realizes that they will need to tap into far greater power to have any chance against such a foe.
For a bonus quester we have a dog! Lady Creiddylad, the Fairy Queen, equips the group with magic and advice, like Galadriel in Tolkien’s THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (July, 1954), only Galadriel didn’t have a tall, rangy Wild Hunt hound named Cavall to send with the Fellowship. Cavall is itching for a good run.
Fairy court, goblin market goods, epic hound dog, found family, Welsh-ish names, epic journeys: GREENTEETH has everything a fantasy fan needs for a few hours of summer pleasure reading.
The twist/big reveal at the end? Magnificent. I felt dumb for not having predicted it given all the clues, but I’m glad I didn’t. Unless I come across some more super-fun reads, GREENTEETH will very likely make my list of top 10 books of 2025.
Reading in context:
Gender-bending ladyknights seem to be a theme in 2025 fantasy novels, and you can add Temperance and Jenny to the list. You won’t want to miss the third installment in the “Legends and Lattes” series by Travis Baldree, BRIGANDS AND BREADKNIVES (Tor/Macmillan, November 11, 2025), in which rattkin bookseller Fern sort-of-accidentally becomes the squire of Astryx, warrior of legend and ballad, or THE EVERLASTING by Alix E. Harrow (Tor/Macmillan, (October 28, 2025), a time-loop extravaganza starring ladyknight Una Everlasting. The romance in THE EVERLASTING had me in tears, and the depth of Harrow’s character development of the villain was astonishing.
What I’m reading now:
THE STRENGTH OF THE FEW by James Islington (Saga/Simon & Schuster, November 11, 2025), the second novel in the “Hierarchy” series.

Zuletzt beendetes Buch: Starlight and Shadows, #1 of the Starlight Sanctum von Vera Winters. Cosy Fantasy fast food. Could have done without the spice, but like typos those scenes were rare. 4/5 do recommend if you want more after #LegendsandLattes . #sapphicbooks #cosyfantasy #fantasyromane #bookstodon @bookstodon

Que libro más bonito de verdad, me ha encantado ❣️
Buenos días gente bonita ❣️

A friend loaned me her copy of "Legends & Lattes", and I just finished reading it this morning. I don't read for pleasure much these days, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it's so cozy and cute! I love the conceit of "battleworn orc puts away her sword and opens a coffeeshop," and the plot had enough twists and turns to be surprisingly compelling. Highly recommended if you like fantasy!

#LegendsAndLattes made me ugly cry when I finished it in the middle of a McDonald's at 8PM.
It was so good, will have to jump into the second book soon.

I'm looking for something like #LegendsandLattes but with #tea ?

I finished Bookshops & Bonedust today! It was so good! I ugly cried at the end. It's very hard to clean the kitchen when an audiobook makes you cry so much. I definitely recommend this book. 5 stars from me. I'm trying to figure out what to read next. I don't read again until Monday so I have a couple days to decide.

I don't think there was anything in particular I didn't love about this book. The characters are absolutely endearing and have a way of making you smile with their cute little quirks. I also really enjoyed seeing Viv open up and forge friendships with others who were generally known to be disliked, or awkward...Full Review:

I had a dream last night where I was involved in some kind of organized crime run by a professional football star who'd been canceled for bad behavior. When I woke up, I had to look up the guy's name to see if he was really in the NFL: Travis Baldree. The Legends and Lattes guy.
🤣 I'm such a dork.

Halfway through #LegendsandLattes by #TravisBaldree and I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it! Haven't even gotten to the romance yet and the story alone has completely pulled me in and the characters are so endearing 🥰. I think I'm slowly starting to expand on the genres I enjoy. I'm excited to have found another author I think I'll easily return to again and again.
Has anyone else read Legends & Lattes? 🥰

Finished Legends and Lattes this morning. The last 20-30 pages really picked up the pace and boosted the book's overall rating from 3.5 to 4. A very fun and relaxing read, without too much depth or plot. But that can be allright too!
Maybe I'll pick up the new book by the same author too. Anyone started with that already?
