Today's blend is El Chupacabra. It is part of the Cryptid tea collection by Drogo Coffee. The green tea is strong flavored despite the Yerba Mate, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and pepper. I'm still listening to A Tribute of Fire. #booksky #teasky ☕️🍵🫖 💙📚 🎧📚 🪐📚 🌶📚 #cryptid

I woke up thinking about this book by Max Brooks and how no one talks about how brilliant it is. The full cast narration was amazing. I remember thinking this was just going to be a psychological thriller, and then nope, full monster horror. I loved every bloody minute of it. #booksky 🩸📚

The cover of the book Devolution by Max Brooks features a large footprint in red with a smaller footprint in white at its center.

Today's blend is Salted Caramel by Tea & Absinthe. It's yummy. I'm listening to A Tribute of Fire by Sariah Wilson. Its a romantsy. The FMC keeps making terrible decisions and getting her butt kicked. I have no idea how she'll survive. #booksky #teasky ☕️🍵🫖 🎧📚 🪐📚 🌶📚 💙📚

It is harder to find a closed-door romance than it used to be. But there are plenty of other genres where there is little romance or sex involved. Also, I would never say there is no plot. There is always YA as well. If you have closed-door romance recs, though, I would be interested..

Today's blend is Eldritch Invocation by Decus Workshop. I'm listening to The Librarians. I loved the Lady Sherlock series and so I'm excited for something different from Sherry Thomas. I'm loving the pop culture references. #booksky #teasky 🫖☕️🍵 💙📚 🎧📚 ⚡️📚 #thriller

Very exciting. Congratulations

Maybe try incorporating a reading hour, pair it with a cup of tea, and perhaps a cookie. Life's too long, too short, and far too tedious without stories.

Today's tea is green tea from Perc Coffee. I did order the Mint and it took a long time but it's not bad. I ventured down to Virginia Highland Books to pick up some autographed children's books by Taylor Woolley. #booksky #teasky ☕️🍵🫖 💙📚 #Atlanta #VirginiaHighlands

Children's books and a to go cup of tea on a table facing a long street.

It definitely took me a while to get into it. I think I'm liking it better than Phantasma.

Today's blend is Fairy Tale Tea. It's Ceylon and maybe roses. It smells amazing. I'm still listening to Enchantra. Farimar is not allowed on the table. #booksky #teasky #Caturday ☕️🍵🫖 💙📚 🎧📚 🌶📚 🪐📚 #cat #Farimarthecat #romantsy

You do get to choose though.

You can do the Robin Hobb books in little chunks . The Farseer Trilogy and the Tawny Man trilogy are great and I liked the Liveship traders but I didn't make it through The Rain Wild Chronicles.
