Wind in the Willows is probably my favorite, but I did grow up loving it, so big nostalgia energy there.

Loved Kell Woods After the Forest. Looking forward to this one too.

We talk some about this in our podcast episode that’s dropping tomorrow. Basically I think spice rating/level is a matter of expectations. If you’re expecting none and it sneaks in there, it might overwhelm. I think maybe when ACOTR came out it it wasn’t a different expectation level for people?

There’s something almost instantly cozy about talking animals. What are some of your favorite books with talking animals in them? Open to all genres and authors styles etc.

The Three Dark Crowns series by Kendare Blake. Read the first book in the series to review it for the podcast. The author will be at a romantasy book con happening in October that we are going to. Then got hooked and had to know how it ended :D

I’ve loved the Saints of Steel series by T Kingfisher (paladins whose god has died and then they still have to go on despite that, it does deal with the different ways that trauma affects people, but also they are beautiful love stories and funny and the characters/world are just so well crafted).

Good choices. Adding to TBR. I’d also suggest checking out Oak King Holly King by Sebastian Nothwell. Delightful story.
