Tuesday. Receptionist called in sick.
You know what's nice about taking off any self-imposed obligations and watching YouTube reading sprints (where all you do is read along with the host)? You read. You make headway in the book.
One of these YouTube book vloggers is having a "create your own readathon" this weekend that I'm going to participate in. Running between Friday and Sunday. Read whatever you want but her prompt was something that was published in 2022 that you've been meaning to get to. I'm going to participate and I immediate thought of this:
After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time.The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone. But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.
Published 2022; 296 pages. It's been described as "cozy fantasy". And I've been flirting with reading it for awhile. I think this weekend is the time and it will be, what, about 100 pages a day-ish.
I've got the bead group Christmas party on Saturday afternoon that I have to attend but otherwise, yeah, I could probably get close to finishing it in that time period.
Otherwise, same old stuff today.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
