We got a cozy one for ya today. Adam and Lexi review Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. A charming story about a retired lady orc adventurer setting up a small coffee shop in a fantasy village. This is the last pod for the year of 2023, and the banterers decided to close out the year with something you can curl up with. Available in both physical and eBook format, pick it up from the library when you get the chance.

Adam and Lexi again reach out to another bookstore for an interview. This time with the new bookstore and restaurant, Flyleaf. Here they interview Lani who is the manager and get to know a bit about the store itself, what led to its creation, and what sorts of things to expect from it. Adam tried a quiche there and it was delicious. Lexi had a lovely blueberry muffin. It was totally done in one take and not two, you weren't there, you can't prove anything.
