Earlier this week, I celebrated my anniversary(with my husband) at a beautiful beach resort. One of the wonderfully relaxing things I got to do was read on the patio of our ocean view room. Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen was a perfect book for spending the last days of summer next to the ocean. I’m only about halfway through, but it has a wonderful late summer/early fall vibe. And yes, I made that coffee with my travel aeropress and hand grinder that I brought with me.
