On my list of what to read if you’re obsessed with the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy starring Rachel Weis and Brendan Fraser but with that it was way gayer

I do kind of what to seek out some less traumatic food magic books now though.
Sarah Addison Allen has some with Garden Spells. Harris’ Chocolat?

About every 12-15 months if I have some extra stress or insomnia I end up back with one of all time favourite comfort reads.
The bastard daughter of a high lord and a village witch spends three months every summer with her sister who is engaged to the future king.
Over the many summers she starts to see the problems in the kingdom and the need to fix them.
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn is one that I’ve read over a dozen times, and I still find something new in it. It’s deeply, achingly romantic, but it’s written almost between the pages.

It’s been about twenty years since I read it, but all I’m wondering is
HOW did I miss the darkness and the trauma!!!!
I remembered the food magic, but Jeepers!

Commentary, but subtly. High fantasy, fae beings, magic, all of it.
