SUMMARY:August Fab Fantasy Book Club: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J. Penner
DESCRIPTION:Come join the discussion – wine and apps are free\, and –as always– our clubs are free and open to all\, PLUS the book club picks are offered at the 10% off book club discount! \n\n\n\nThis month\, we’ll be chatting about A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J. Penner ($17.99 – Book club price: $16.19 Paperback\, 288 pp) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe doesn’t need magic to be magical—and neither does this heartwarming\, feel-good fantasy that blends cozy vibes with culinary creativity. Set in the spell-kissed land of Adenashire\, the book follows Arleta\, a human baker determined to rise to the occasion\, even in a world where magic often defines worth. \n\n\n\nWorking tirelessly to perfect her blend of baking and herbal apothecary\, Arleta’s life takes a dramatic turn when her orc neighbor and biggest fan secretly enters her pastries into the prestigious Langheim Baking Battle. Competing among magical elites\, Arleta faces skepticism for being magicless—but with a dash of determination and the help of a charming woodland elf\, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery\, unlikely friendships\, and sweetly simmering romance. \n\n\n\nThis delightful tale is a celebration of finding your voice\, trusting your gifts\, and embracing who you are\, even when the world expects something else. As Arleta learns\, winning the competition may not be the ultimate goal—sometimes\, the real prize is believing in yourself.Book clubs will savor every page\, and for readers who love a beautiful edition as much as a beautiful story\, the deluxe version is a true treasure. It includes stunning full-color interior art\, gorgeous sprayed edges\, and bonus scenes that add even more flavor to Arleta’s journey. \n\n\n\nWarm\, whimsical\, and filled with heart\, this one is the perfect pick for book lovers ready to indulge in a story as satisfying as the perfect pastry.
