Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
“To know a man’s library is, in some measure, to know a man’s mind.”— Geraldine Brooks
I want to note that I do not get paid to do these posts, I just love authors and the book industry. However, they do take time and energy to create.

Wine:
The 2019 Ruffino Modus is a beautifully crafted, rich red blend that exudes elegance and complexity. Its deep ruby hue hints at the layers of flavor to come, starting with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries and delicate florals that seamlessly transition into warm notes of cinnamon and clove. On the palate, this wine shines with its impressive structure, soft tannins, and a velvety texture that lingers long after each sip. Perfectly balanced and enduring, it’s a standout choice for those seeking a sophisticated and memorable wine experience.
What I Wore:
Wearing a cozy green sweater, the rich hue perfectly reflects the festive spirit of the holiday season, wrapping her in warmth and style. Paired with dark blue skinny jeans that hug her just right, the outfit strikes a balance between casual and effortlessly put-together. Gold hoop earrings add a touch of timeless elegance, catching the soft glow of twinkling lights. With a glass of rich red wine in hand, its deep, velvety notes enhancing the moment, she feels grounded yet luminous—like the main character in her own holiday story. In this quiet, perfect scene, she embraces the season's magic, savoring the simple joy of being fully present.
