Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero. So she did the coming-of-age quest. She saved the kingdom and kissed the farmboy turned King. And when she was done... she went home. She never forgot about her time in Callaria. It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she's back. Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Her actions a decade ago caused ripples that didn't go away when she did. The gawky apprentice wizard she once called a friend is now a cynical Royal Wizard with a penchant for floor length velvet robes and dangerous secrets. Her magic sword is giving her the silent treatment. The evil ruler she thought she defeated is living in the dungeon, making cryptic predictions that sound a little too much like fact. The farmboy turned King...

Clear Your Shit: More Teeth for the Tooth Club! (Most Expensive)

After the bartender's lengthy and mostly useless fairytale and finishing the rest of my anthology in a single go, we realize how late it's gotten and figure this town is as good a place as any to spend the night. Sure beats sleeping on the ground again. We barely manage to get a room with what little money we still have and the next morning we decide to barter again. Everything is so expensive with this falling book calamity happening so I offer Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, my most expensive book and it seems we have a bit of luck! The shop keep is excited to trade for such a prize and we manage to get more very tasty jerky, a waterskin each, and some additional teeth to fortify my club. Not going to ask why he had those.
