Recommended Reads and Roasts
Go ahead. Pair that book with a coffee. Why should wine and cheese have all the fun?
Listed below are a collection of fiction and non-fiction reads that have meant a lot to me over the years at various stages of my life.
I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. I’ve rejoiced and repented. I’ve commiserated. I’ve lamented and I’ve been called to action, all because of the words within these pages.
Keep scrolling, and you’ll also find the magic beans behind the caffeine in the ever-present cup of coffee by my side.
I hope you’ll enjoy them all as much as I have.
