And don't forget to ask for a spell from your local witch, even if she is a chaos witch! We have the best luck with controlling which way the coin of luck lands! Of course, the coin often rolls away entirely...

Very interesting! And yeah, it's okay if you don't write a romantasy. Leave that to us. We'll cover it! LOL.

Also if your book (trad or not) happen to be in Kobo Plus, feel free to call it out here because I'm giving all of those that I see a good look.

Thank you for doing this. I found some good books for my wishlist yesterday and plan to find more today!! There were even a couple of books yesterday in Kobo Plus. I pulled those right down to my Kobo reader!!!

The Villain and Kaiju definitely appealed more to me than some of your others. I do read sci/fi and read Old Man's War and enjoyed it. But I tend towards cozy and fun. Both Villain and Kaiju were right up my alley. Either could be considered cozy or cozy adjacent with the exception of curse words
