A gorgeous cafe breakfast sits on a wood tabletop next to a paperback copy of “The House of The Seven Gables” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The book has a black and white photo of a wood-siding, three-story house with many gable peaks and multiple chimneys. The title is written on a cream square at top. To the left of the book is a cup and saucer with an oat milk late all golden and frothy on top. In the bottom of the frame is a bowl of the most delicious granola I’ve had anywhere with walnuts, a balsamic reduction, rose colored and flavored Greek yogurt, Zaatar, and edible orchid in oat milk. It’s half-eaten but still gorgeous.

Goodness! I had a beautiful morning taking my reading and my Self on a breakfast date.

I hold my eReader up to an open car window with my left hand. The reader takes up the bottom left corner of the image. It has a hippie style floral skin on it with some tiny dog stickers in the bottom corner that are line drawings. The screen, in greyscale, shows the cover of Celeste Ng’s “Everything I Never Told You.” The cover is made up of an image of a woman floating or swimming horizontally across the cover. She’s seen from above in dark water. The title and author are written in white, very scrawled writing. Behind and around the eReader is the view from my car. The black window casing and rear view mirror frame a view of morning sunlight through fall trees in early turning colors. Neon yellow-green leaves mostly with grape vine wrapping a giant trunk in fiery red. Dark branches in silhouette against the bright sun - all of this is out of focus around the eReader.

Parking lot reading today. How excited was I to realize there is a #CelesteNg book I haven’t read?!
The answer is “all.”

I was ALL the excited.

A copy of Loathe You A Latte is now in my community lending library. I hope whoever picks it up enjoys it!

First up in my new segment, “Things I Do Not Recommend”

Reading a kinky smut book near a specific person about whom you do NOT need to be thinking about these things.

In other news, I’m enjoying The Salacious Players series
