Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
“No. I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.” — Sarah J. Maas
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 Miriam Chenin Blanc by Alex is a refreshing and vibrant wine brimming with juicy citrus notes that will instantly elevate any occasion. Harvested from revered old vines in Clarksburg, this Chenin Blanc showcases the benefits of cool Delta breezes that lend a unique balance and complexity to each sip. Its popularity and accolades—90+ lifetime ratings, gold medals, and Best in Class trophies—speak to its exceptional quality. Perfectly chilled, it opens up beautifully as it warms, revealing layers of delicate flavors. This versatile wine is fantastic with homemade poke bowls, a variety of pasta dishes, or an assortment of appetizers.
What I Wore:
Sweater | Jeans | Similar Hoops | Makeup
Wrapped in a cozy black-and-white Fair Isle sweater, she feels both warm and stylish, the intricate patterns lending a timeless charm to her look. Paired with dark wash wide-legged jeans, the outfit strikes a balance between classic and contemporary, blending comfort with a sense of effortless flair. The gold hoop earrings add a touch of understated elegance, catching the light with each movement. As she takes a sip of crisp white wine, the fresh flavors brighten the moment, allowing her to unwind. In this simple but perfect scene, she feels like the main character in her own story—relaxed, confident, and fully immersed in the quiet luxury of the moment.
