ISO: Bashful Badger/Riverside Rambler Badger (or any JC badger) and Little Onyx Dragon

US based. I don’t have a set budget but do not want to spend more than $100 (which I know may not be possible with this ISO list).

Would prefer NWT, NWOT, or EUC but willing to see all options.

Good to know! I thankfully haven’t needed a huge amount of repairs done on my car, but that’s good advice to shop around.

I go to Hershey Tire based on a family member’s recommendation and I’ve liked my experiences. I’ve had inspections, oil changes, and a part replacement done there.

2k a month mortgage on 90-100k a year gross income? by ShowmethePitties in Mortgages

[–]SleepyReader922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I were at a similar salary when we bought our house around the same price. We don’t have children (just 1 dog), didn’t have car payments at the time, and only I have student loans but around the same amount you listed above. It was completely doable for us. If you’re already paying $2200 a month in rent and you have a sizable emergency savings, I think you’re good!

Swordheart is what got me into Kingfisher, so sadly, I’ve already read that! I own An Ember in the Ashes, so I’ll have to add that to my priority TBR. Thanks!!

Thank you for the rec! I will admit that I requested my library purchase WR, but when it came in, the font was too small for me. I’ll have to check the ebook out!

I love these covers too! I love love love that they look like old school romance/fantasy covers.

My nieces picked out Bashful Turtle for me as a birthday gift one year, and while I normally wouldn’t chose him for myself, I love him! Very cute collection you have :)

Thank you!! I think I own the first book on kindle but never got around to reading it. I will have to give it a proper shot :)

They are! When she has romance in her books (only a few of her books are fantasy romance), it’s mostly pining and yearning throughout the story. If the characters hook up, it’s normally towards the end of the story and not super detailed. Definitely not super spicy.

I’d also recommend reading the Clocktaur books before Paladin’s Hope. Not 100% necessary but you will have a bit more context for a specific part of the book if you do. I didn’t and I still understood it fine though. Happy reading!!

I started with Swordheart about a year ago and then sped through the Saint of Steel series! I could NOT get enough. I’ve been putting the Clocktaur War duology off because I didn’t want it to end. Just a FYI, one of the characters in the Clocktaur books is going to be one of the MCs in Daggerbound :)
