Tea is 45% done with A Forever Kind of Love (Bayou Dreams #1)
Yikes. The audio narrator is leaving weird pauses in the middle of sentences and the writing comes across like two grown adults getting horny over memories of 17yo kids. This second chance romance refresh should have stayed in the past.

Tea is 10% done with The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association
I hate when authors do that thing where their character alludes to some big secret or controversy from their past, but keep it from the reader for some imagined pay off later in the story. 4 times so far we've referenced the "terrible thing" that mom did to put them in need of a magic school. Just tell me what it is. I guarantee the surprise isn't going to be worth the wait

This audiobook would have benefited from multiple narrators. It feels like a run on sentence.

Tea is 16% done with The Door on the Sea (The Raven and Eagle, #1)
I really wanted to like this book. I thought from the opening that I was going to, but I'm bored and I just don't want to read it anymore

"it's been 3 weeks since our baby died, it's time to get over it and focus on me now"

I hope I misread the description and this a murder story 😒

Tea
Tea is 10% done with A Brew for Chaos (Enchanted Bay Mysteries Book 3)
This does not feel cozy. The focus on her creepy boyfriend and his controlling nature is coming across way more like I'm reading a true crime story than a cozy magical murder series.

This book is like reading It's A Wonderful Life. The vibes are impeccable.

This is so much better than I was expecting. So unique

Tea
Tea is 17% done with A Tale of Mirth & Magic
The publishers of this book are doing it a disservice comparing it to Legend & Lattes and The Spellshop. This is a book built more for the fans of books like That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon, or Minotaur Milking Farm. It's a cozy fantasy sex story. Comparing it to popular closed door cozy fantasies where the romance is a side plot at best is not going to draw the right audiences.

It shouldn't take 4 chapters for the story to get interesting

Tea is 17% done with Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe
This isn't cozy fantasy. It's a YA chosen one fantasy romance where they meet in a coffee shop. Nothing about it feels cozy.

Tea
Tea is 70% done with The Rainfall Market
This book is honestly sort of tedious and I find the styling of the chapters as "episodes" to be kind of pretentious. If you want to write kdramas then write one.

Tea
Tea is 50% done with The Baby Dragon Café (The Baby Dragon, #1)
Why is this book so boring? It's just a generic rich man/poor girl romance dressed up with dragons which could easily be replaced with dogs and nothing would substantially change.

Tea
Tea is 15% done with Be Careful What You Witch For (Wishing For a Magical Midlife, #1)
There's so much needlessly detailed reference to a past that doesn't exist on page. And none of it really explains why this widowed, recently fired woman wouldn't be happy to move back home and take up the family business. Okay, your mom was evil, but you aren't and neither are all your friends so what is the issue?

Tea
Tea is 20% done with Wildwood Magic
Yeah, no. This book spends too much time on the darkness and abuse. It takes too long to start getting to found family and healing. I might skip to the end to see how it all sorts out, but the reading of it is making me anxious and it is an absolutely gross choice to give us chapters in the POV of the abusive murderer. I don't want to be in that man's mind getting his Tragic Backstory™

Tea is 30% done with Blood Over Bright Haven
Oh joy, a book entirely based on the themes of misogyny, racism, religious bigotry, and white feminism. With an unpleasant female lead. Seriously, you have to give me SOMETHING to cling to if you want me to read it. The plot sure isn't compelling enough to do it.

So good. This is the first Bindery imprint book I've read that has been unputdownable for me.

Tea
Tea is 38% done with The Library Game (Secret Staircase Mysteries, #4)
I'm kind of disappointed. As great as the second book was to me, the other 3 in this series are just not cutting the mustard. This mystery isn't bad, but the telling of it is so convoluted, and why are grown adults falling for dumb pranks?

Gosh, I really hate disjointed, time-jumping storytelling. Just tell me the story in order please.
