A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic (Adenashire, #1) by J. Penner
Pub date - 4/15/25
It’s early spring 2025, and outside life is full of strife, drama, and really horrible things. I practice daily gratitude, mindfulness, meditate, slow breathe, laugh, read, blast excellent music, exercise, talk to family and friends, go to concerts, tend to my sourdough starter, and have taken the first steps to starting an aerogarden, but I certainly have some intense moments of anxiety. I prefer to keep those moments as few and far between as possible, hence the schedule and my must reads of cozy fantasy/magical realism and historical romance.
*friendship
*found family
*romance
*consent
*baking, and baking competitions
Arleta was probably my least favorite character, honestly, Theo is the perfect gentleman and was fairly bland - the side characters are the ones to read for; Arleta’s adoptive dads are awesome.
I read this during early spring leisurely mornings, sipping chai tea and feeling grateful to be reading this - I enjoyed A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic and look forward to reading more of this series and the author.
A definite recommendation.
Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for the DRC
