Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week

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 Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling 2022 is breathtaking! This wine captivates with its stunning aromas of ripe orange and melon, setting the stage for a tasting experience that's as expressive as it is elegant. On the palate, it strikes a near-perfect balance—juicy and vibrant, yet wonderfully refined. The medium-bodied texture is lifted by a super-mineral finish that is both precise and refreshing.

What stands out most is the wine's complexity and structure. The interplay between its floral, fleshy notes and its tight, almost talc-like minerality is remarkable. There's a sense of both power and grace, with the wine offering immediate pleasure yet showing great potential for aging. Whether you're enjoying it now or saving it for a special occasion, this wine delivers exceptional value for money. Truly a joy to drink!

This wine is a brilliant example of Riesling's ability to balance austerity with charm, making it a must-try for any wine lover.


Wearing a navy cardigan adorned with a touch of sequins, paired with a trendy sweater vest and your favorite jeans, can instantly transform an ordinary day into a scene where you feel like the main character in your own story. The subtle sparkle of the cardigan adds just the right amount of flair, while the sweater vest keeps you feeling effortlessly cool and on-trend. Gold accessories, from chic Birkenstock sandals to bold hoops, give the outfit a sense of confidence and luxury, making every step feel more empowered. This combination of comfort, style, and a hint of glam creates the perfect look for someone ready to own their narrative and step into the spotlight of their everyday life.
