    [Book Review] The Circus Of The Damned By Cornelia Grey & Bean Devil Coffee Co. Oblivion

    The Circus Of The Damned is set in a shadowy Victorian-esque world sprinkled with a few steampunk elements (I pictured it with kind of a Tim Burton goes to the circus kind of vibe) and populated with a cast of unique circus performers with unusual abilities, highly organized street thugs, and one frustratingly debonair devil.

    [Book Review] Stand By You By A.M. Arthur & Godiva Chocolate Truffle Coffee

    Oh, man, I told myself I wasn’t going to cry… and then I did. Multiple times. Sad tears. Happy tears. “Oh, Honey” tears. I just wanted to give Romy a hug half the time. The other half of the time I wanted to hug Brendan. I’m just so happy they have each other to hug. This book was so emotional and sweet. It’s a slow burn, slow build romance between two men who care so so deeply for each other and it’s really a beautiful thing to watch.

    Monday Morning Coffee News (Evening Edition)

    Happy Monday! After 3 Mondays in a row of some serious bad luck (laptop chargers melting (not even kidding), internet going out, and food poisoning - respectively), I'm hoping to break the cycle by getting this post out come hell or high water! Here's some of the more interesting coffee-related news from the last few weeks: Starbucks added Flat White espresso to their menu and announced the extended leave of their chief operating officer, GE debuted a fridge with its own built-in Keurig, A study came out linking drinking coffee to lower chances of skin cancer, the internet's been buzzing about a coffee that helps you fall asleep, and Bulletproof Coffee is opening up a…

    [Book Review] A Groom For Christmas By Cara Marsi & Starbucks Christmas Blend

    I love Hallmark Christmas movies. They’re feel-good movies at their finest and they get me through the stress of the holiday season. They’re a little too cutesy, and cliché as all get out, but also so heartwarming and romantic - they’re my guilty little pleasure and I just can’t get enough of them. A Groom For Christmas reads exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie. (Well maybe not exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie, but if Hallmark movies were x-rated, then it would be exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie - this book has a couple pretty explicit, steamy scenes)
