Librarian Kiela and her assistant sentient spider plant Caz have to flee the Great Library of Alyssium while it is literally in flames. With several crates of books they make their way to Kiela’s childhood home on a remote island. Come to find out, the empire has been draining power from the island, Kiela sets out to set things right. This book is filled with cozy vibes, raspberry jam - and a handsome neighbour set out to help her any way he can.

I absolutely adored this book! It’s the perfect addition to my cozy fantasy shelf 🤩

I was delighted to meet Sarah Beth Durst and Sangu Mandanna at The Ripped Bodice bookstore in LA last night.

I look forward to enjoying their newest books, The Enchanted Greenhouse and A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping.

If you're into #cozyFantasy, I can recommend #TheSpellshop by #SarahBethDurst.
"When a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, Kiela the librarian and her assistant Caz, a magically sentient spider plant, save as many books as they can carry and flee to a faraway island."

Cover of The Spellshop with a cozy cottage in the middle of an old forest that's flooded by sunlight. Plants are growing on and around the cottage and a set of old stone steps lead to the house. On the steps lies a sleeping cat with wings in the sun. Everything looks like in a fairytale.

'Books should be shared with everyone who wants to open their minds and hearts to them.' ~ Sarah Beth Durst, The Spellshop

A happy Caturday from Romeo 😸
He's sleeping next to my favourite cosy fantasy read from last year, The Spellshop. For me it was just the right mix of fantasy, and cosy but not too easy. I also named one of my plants after one the Spellshop's plants 😅💚

August reading summary is ready! #StoryGraph has some great graphics - and August seems like it was a pretty good reading month. The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kalami, To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, and The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst were definitely the highlights of the month.
