Coffee & a good book
Pair coffee with this …
Winter is here and we continue on lockdown. So there’s nothing else to do these days but grab your favorite cup of coffee and curl up with a good book and escape to a place where hugging, dining out and dating still happens.
Grounds for Murder: A cozy for the coffee lover. A great book by author Tara Lush who took a laid-off journalist, a third-wave coffee shop in a quirky small-town in Florida and a murder to create a really fun whodunnit. There’s also a percolating romance with a police chief and a fun gal pal sidekick to make this a fun read. Pair this book with a latte and ask for that foam art.
The Chocolatier: Author Jan Moran knows her stuff when it comes to chocolate and Italy. I could see the lemon trees and the beautiful Italian coast, and let me tell you, it was wonderful to disappear into this world where chocolate, romance and intrigue is just another day. A smart, historical romance that will keep you flipping through the pages until you reach the very end. Pair this book with a raspberry mocha and say yes to the whip cream.
Christmas at the Restaurant: I have not started this book yet, it is next on the list for January. I know it is holiday inspired, but come on, do we ever tire of it? Not really.
I did read the 1st book in this series and I have to say I enjoy the slow, steady pace of Nantucket. Plenty of seafood references and walks on the beach that makes it feel like a vacation. Pair this seaside holiday book with a Chai Latte.
Super Sad True Love Story: I’m reading this book with a friend of mine in a virtual book club. I checked it out from the local library, which anyone can do online right now. They have made it ridiculously easy to read books during the pandemic. Please support your local library. This book is considered a dark comedy/romance, I’ll let you know how much I cry. Pair this dark comedy with a Cafe Borgia, which is espresso, steamed milk, cocoa and orange flavor.
