Critics Review

“Amanda Lovelace’s debut graphic novel Books, Iced Coffee & a Side of Dragons is an absolute delight. Sweet sapphic whimsy, with a side of friendship, community, and utterly adorable dragons, perfect to cuddle up with to decompress from a busy world.” (Georgia K. Boone, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Be Gone for Christmas)
BOOKS, ICED COFFEE & A SIDE OF DRAGONS is a delight! Filled with sweetness (and dragons!), this is an absolutely adorable story paired with irresistibly charming and wonderful artwork! You’re in for a treat!”
(Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of THE SPELLSHOP)
Peak healing cozy fantasy — an absolute winning mashup of lovely storytelling and adorable, well-crafted illustrations. What begins as a more episodic series of sweet scenes with the underlying thread of two sapphics falling in love (and trying to save the struggling bookstore) quickly turns into a beautifully complete story about being true to yourself, accepting help, and finding joy in little moments together. The dragons are expertly integrated into the world, using little magics to help make coffee, sort books, and even cool down a sweltering day at the beach. It’s easy to fall in love with every character, both human and dragon. The blend of Amanda Lovelace’s words with Raquel Travé’s illustrations is the ultimate cozy combination…perfect for readers who are eager to see themselves on the page with the cozy, comfy, joyful stories we deserve.
(Wren Jones, author of Practical Potions Mysteries)

(Julie Abe, author of The Magic Library of Waterfall Way)
“Does a sweet summer romance benefit from adorable dragons and beachy vibes? The answer is a delightful yes.”
(Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes)
