Julia This past weekend I was in Madrid to see Keinemusik (so much fun!), and while I was walking around town, I came across ‘News & Coffee: Unusual place for coffee and curated reads to go’. This little gem was a new take on the old fashioned newsstand: hip, cute, and indeed presenting a very…

Ayesha When I read multiple books at the same time, I like to try and do at least one physical and one digital. For my physical read, I’m in the middle of The Inner Game of Tennis. As a former tennis player I was intrigued when I saw this in the Strand and the reason…

Julia I’ve been re-circulating through a few ongoing books recently (some books really do take a lot longer than others!) when inspiration suddenly hit me in Athens airport as I was preparing to leave my week long sejour in Greece and come back to Paris. Now, I love an airport bookstore: WH Smith, Hudsons etc.…

Ayesha So, I’m still reading Paladin’s Grace…oops. I’ve honestly been in a bit of a slump with the book. I’m now over half way through and it’s certainly picked up (we’ve encountered a string of serial killer deaths) so we’ve got the intrigue. I’m really hoping I can finish this before I fly back to…

Julia I am currently reading one of the most unique and beautifully created literary magazinesI have come across, maybe ever. And that isn’t to eclipse any of the great lit. journals and magazines I have read in the past, but I am simply in awe of this one. The magazine is called ‘Debris’ and I…

Ayesha I’m in the middle of reading a couple different books. Let’s start in order – I bought Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher while I was in England. I honestly was pulled in by the old-timey cover, and then the positive Goodreads rating. It’s a cozy fantasy centering around a perfumer and a paladin who…

Julia I did it! I broke my reading slump! The cure has been twofold I believe; a) I went out and bought myself a new thriller/mystery to rip through and b) I have been cat-sitting the sweetest little cat who snuggles with me as I read. I’ll address point B first, which is that having…

Ayesha For the last couple of days, I’ve kept my head down as I try to catch up on my ARCs in NetGalley. I’m very good at requesting them and also very good at getting distracted (oops). I’ll share a bit about two – one I stayed up late to finish and another one that…

Julia I stopped by ‘Bonjour, Jacob’ the other week, a cute and miniscule coffee shop in the 6th arrondissement known for its curated display of magazines, and I was immediately drawn to the vibrant covers of FARE magazine. Now, I know I am a sucker for a great travel mag, but I am currently obsessed…

Ayesha Last night, I just finished Lyla Sage’s latest release, “Wild and Wrangled.” This is the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and it’s crazy to think that I’ve read all of them in a span of 6 months? I read “Done and “Dusted” at the end of last year, and after inhaling…
