Sweet Peaches Coffee in Jacksonville, Florida ✨☕️
@sweetpeachescoffee

One of the cutest coffee shops I have ever visited. The colors, decor, neon signs and seating options were a whole vibe.

Their tagline is “serving others through a joyful environment in a loving way,” and I couldn’t love it more- I also totally get it after stopping by! Which is why I went back the very next day to work from there because it felt so welcoming.

The barista was genuinely interested in helping us decide between options, which was great for my husband who is new to the world of coffee 😂

The drink and pastry options were plentiful and I can’t wait to try more!

If you are in the area, I highly recommend Sweet Peaches!

Book Lovers by Emily Henry is a charming romantic comedy that follows Nora Stephens, a sharp, no-nonsense literary agent who finds herself in an unexpected love story. Set against the backdrop of a small North Carolina town, we see Nora begrudgingly agree to a getaway with her sister, Libby, who’s determined to get her to relax. But things get complicated when Nora keeps running into Charlie Lastra, a brooding editor from New York with whom she shares a bit of a rocky past.

Bess’s thoughts:
Emily Henry never fails to write an easy to read, witty romance. I thought the save the day ending was quite predictable and there wasn’t as much tension between the leads as usual but I still really enjoyed Book Lovers.  Macy’s thoughts: It took me a little while to like the MC because of her hero complex and her interactions with her sister, but after reading the first 25%, I was all in. It has small town, big city vibes, is a true rom-com, and has an amazing ending!   We visited Asheville earlier this year and loved the experience. The nature, the restaurants, the activities for families and more. It’s a beautiful area of North Carolina and while we are devastated by the impact Hurricane Helene had on the area, we know their doors will be open again for visitors in the future.

Instead of sharing travel recommendations this week, we are sharing charities who continue to work to support the recovery and rebuilding efforts.

@water_mission is ensuring the hardest hit areas of Western North Carolina have access to clean water

@nccommunityfoundation provides mid and long-term recovery efforts within NC

@ashevillehumane illehumane has rescued and reunited pets found during the hurricane

There are many other charities out there still raising funds to give families the support they need- especially before the holidays! I urge you to consider donating ❤️

I also suggest buying gift cards from local, independently owned restaurants or donating directly - check out @air_asheville

Tis the season of spending time with ones you love

This read takes you on a journey to help Lucy discover what happened to her best friend on the night of her murder, which is now the topic of a hit True Crime podcast. All while Lucy is revealing things about her own life and piecing together details she couldn’t recall about her best friend.

Bess:
I have to admit this one stumped me - there were so many twists and turns, which I loved! However, as a reader who loves to solve a thriller, I felt there should have been more lead up and context clues to the final reveal. Even as we gained context into the past through the podcast episodes, it didn’t feel like enough for a reader to unravel the mystery of who killed Savvy.  Macy:
This was a good read! It has an interesting writing style which explores the past, present and a podcast. I was invested in the characters and didn’t start to put things together until close to the big twist being revealed. Worth the read if you are mysteries!
 Austin is a great destination for a weekend trip!

Though the book takes place in a small Texas town, Austin is mentioned a few times!

Activities:
🪴Explore Zilker Metropolitan Park.
🦍Spend the afternoon at the Austin Zoo.
💐Smell the roses at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
🤳🏼Go on a mural crawl!
🌮Eat at Torchy’s Tacos and 🍗Terry Blacks
