I haven't posted a books and links post in awhile, because I haven't finished a book yet, meanwhile the links were just building and building up. Woops.

Now, I may not have finished a book, but I have finished the anime of Delicious in Dungeon. It's really good! It's about a party who's cleric sacrificed herself to teleport the party outside the dungeon and got eaten by a dragon. They're not going to leave her behind! ...but they have no food or money for food, so they're going to have to get by on what they can scavenge from the dungeon. It has great ecological and economic worldbuilding. My faves are Falin, Kabru and Toshiro, which I am aware is an objectively hilarious group of faves.

I haven't read Legends and Lattes myself (I am very 'meh' about it due to feedback from other friends) and that review had me HOWLING. Delightful. Almost makes me want to hate-read it just to see the fuss.

For what it's worth, it's very, uh, readable? I listened to it on audiobook and I didn't hate the process, though I was going "are they paying *protection cinnamon rolls*?" and "people keep saying this is low stakes. I do not know what they think low stakes is," the whole time
