@pickyourpotions.bsky.social you see this?

Elias Eells- Bar Cart Bookshelf @eliaseells.bsky.social · 15d

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf, we're talking about THE WITCH ROADS by Kate Elliott. A fabulous fantasy of montane hiking, mysterious spirits, & sinister conspiracies, the first book in a propulsive duology, showing a master at the height of skill. Our drink is the Deputy Courier.

A hardcover copy of THE WITCH ROADS by Kate Elliott alongside a pinkish-orange blush colored drink in a stemmed glass. Book and drink are on a rough limestone slab.

Current. Just want an idea of the vibe at one of those places. Is there food? Expensive to drink beer for hours every night for about a week. Friendly folks? Is it jazz all night long? Things like that. I have a character in a chapter who is going to spend longer in NO than he’d planned

Yeah. My copy has a somewhat different cover, but it’s equally ginormous. Our youngest put it to use as a doorstop one day while moving a chair outside. But there’s something cool about its beastliness, too.
