Waiting on Wednesday 04/05/23
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick
Book Shops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree (November 7, 2023 by Tor Books)
“When an injury throws a young, battle-hungry orc off her chosen path, she may find that what we need isn’t always what we seek.
In Bookshops & Bonedust, a prequel to Legends & Lattes, New York Times bestselling author Travis Baldree takes us on a journey of high fantasy, first loves, and second-hand books.
Viv’s career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned.
Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it.
What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn’t possibly imagine.
Still, adventure isn’t all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.”

I am so looking forward to this one coming out.

The first one was such a pleasant surprise! When I get this book I’m saving it for when I’m in the mood for a pick-me-up for sure 🙂

Oh nice pick! I remember seeing this first book of the series around but couldn’t decide if it was for me or not. Hope you enjoy this second installment once you get to read it!

Sorry I meant I wasn’t convinced by the blurb of the first of these books but have seen it mentioned enough to want to read it. Really should have read my comment back through before hitting send 🙈 hope you enjoy this prequel

Haha, no problem! I will confess that the first one was a very lowkey book and a kind of slice of life fantasy where there weren’t any great adventures or epic storylines. I can definitely see how that would be difficult to sell, lol!
