Some books I read in September on an island. And even though it’s now October, I wrote about them some other things too. Cheers to finding something new, in books, over and over again 🥂

My Spring crushes including Carson McCullers iconic haircut, porch reading season, entering my biography era (maybe?), and the newest vintage of Color Collector Gamay Noir 🌸
I’ve never been one for traditional biographies (I want more of the author, not just the subject, I suppose) but after having such a moment with Mary Dearborn’s frank and absorbing biography of Carson McCullers this weekend, I’m thinking maybe I should start reading more? It’s not lost on me, pairing a wine with much of the subject matter of this book, and McCullers life, but this Gamay Noir is up for it— dark fruit and currant, soft and delicate with an acidity that hits in the back of your mouth and lingers through all 400 ish pages. Sorry, you might have to get yourself to to buy some, but I promise it will be worth it.

One book, two moods, and a lesson in embracing ambiguity in April, or, if I’m being honest, for a lot longer. Also, If someone can find me either of these beverages on the west coast you’ll be my hero cause I need to consume them again 🍓🫐
Full “review” about these beverages and novel (read twice) in which I, once again, wildly impose myself upon the text just hit your inboxes 💌 Apologies in advance to Sarah Bernstein, whose novel really got inside me and wouldn’t let go.

“I realize more and more these days that people finish things and live in a world of time.” — Did we miss February’s one moment for Romance? Hopefully not. A belated pairing that stirred a little flutter, hitting everyone’s mailboxes this morning for free [with sincere apologies for being so late to it] 💌💕

Moving slowly into the reading, drinking year but already picking favorites ❤️ One novel drank on either side of the year, with two different bottle of the same wine. Full book and wine notes hitting inboxes this morning 💌

I’m not sure I’m allowed to still be talking about my favorites from 2023, but I’m doing it anyways. A substack on taking my time in 2024 and my favorite half-mad books from 2023 💌📚🍷

Last night, I drank with loves in Seattle, and today I walked 10 miles around Brooklyn with another love and ate this sandwich in the sun. If you know me, that (plus the book I’m about to finish) is my most romantic day. It’s been a hectic but sweet end to the year; there’s much I thought I would have done by now— mostly, telling you all about my favorite books of 2023, most of which hovered around a certain madness— some of which I know, and others I could feel. For now, let’s just say coming soon— maybe this year, or maybe in the next 😘

Pink is the new red 🎀 And smart monstrous books for your favorite worms make a very good gift.

It’s our last weekend here and on deck are all our favorite holiday sips and some books about mothers and monsters and madness and some other obsessive and very cheery themes 🌀🍷✨📚

Spent the morning assembling what will be the last irl book cru pairing pick up in Seattle for now—one, that, ties together so many of the things we’ve been thinking about for the last 4 year: madness—the body as narrative—intimacy—the self—and our biggest love, the taste of “complex foamy” bubbles in the middle of winter. If you want to read more about them, and get future book-wine essays in your inbox sign up for our *new* substack (link and bio).

I’ll have more to say about the sweetness of getting to read and drink in community with folks over the last four years, but, for now, thanks for creating with me it’s been the best 💙

Recently I was told that maybe complaining about the weather isn’t gonna make it better, so this is *not* a complaint, but rather a statement of truth: it’s dark out there. In more ways than one. But, and despite, I’ll be taking over Postale wine bar and shop (in the back of Tivoli) from 2 to 8, through Saturday, with lamps lit, candles glowing, fun glass pours, new books, and as much cheer as we’ve got. Swing by for a chat, drink, read, hang, hug, or a place to call your reps. With love and literature, friends 💙
