This is so cute! đ„°
Love this theme đđ« Theodora's Tea Shop isn't out until next year, but would fit into this list!

thank you!! adding now đ«Ą
So excited for this one, and happy for Christy for coming this far!
Yes! I am so excited to read it, she put so much hard work and heart into it đ«¶ I love supporting Aussie authors too đ„č
Also if anyone has a milk tea/bubble tea setting in a book, let me know. Iâve only seen one so far, and it gives off AI vibes. đŹ

which one (so i can avoid it aggressively) đ
I just checked the forum for it, and people say itâs just a web novel that was published in traditional book form. I was just judging it by the cover. (It has that yellowy ai tone to it.)
Itâs Demon World Boba Shop. I kind of feel bad speculating about it now. đ«

ooooh gotcha! honestly its better safe than sorry if youe internal ai warning goes off imo :/
there is one i vaguely heard about thats bubble tea related but i cant for the life of me rmr the title. im going to do some research and try to find it and report back!
I haven't read them, but there's 2 MG one called It's Boba Time for Pearl Li! and Bubble Trouble.
Recommending Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young, I havenât read it yet but itâs been on my TBR for a minute. đđŒ

adding!
This is such a lovely idea, adorable! I've read a few here and am definitely going to peruse it for more suggestions âđ”
Quick question! Are these recommendations of tea books or rather a list of options for further assessment? Asking for my own knowledge and also bc I have read a book about tea but i really didnt like it so not sure if i should rec you add it haha

a list of options! i havenât read most of them, but wanted gather them for myself and others who may want something tea-themed at some point âĄÌ ill take recs even if they werent your cup of tea (sorry had to)
Hahahaha not my cup of tea got me, i should have seen it coming. Had a lil giggle. Ty for your (tea) service.
