literary gluttony

There’s something about Sundays that begs for a slower pace. The world quiets just enough to slip into a good book, sip something warm, and let the outside noise fade away. Whether it’s a lazy morning under soft blankets or a golden afternoon on the porch, Sundays were made for getting lost in a story.

This week, my book of choice is The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. If you’re looking for a story that feels like a comforting embrace, this is it. Following Linus Baker, a quiet, rule-following caseworker, as he’s sent to evaluate an orphanage full of magical misfits, this book radiates warmth, humor, and heart. It’s a gentle reminder that family isn’t always what we expect—but sometimes, it’s exactly what we need.

And what’s a cozy read without a cozy drink? Today, I’m pairing this heartwarming story with a London Fog Latte—a fragrant mix of Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, and a touch of vanilla. The floral hints of bergamot and the creamy sweetness of the latte perfectly match the book’s whimsical yet deeply comforting tone.

If you’re in need of a Sunday reset, I highly recommend grabbing a book that makes you feel safe, brewing a cup of something warm, and letting the day slow down.
