Suggest Anxious People! It was a light, funny read, but still sentimental at times

Just looked it up and it seems like a great read! Thanks for the tip 👍🏽

Ohh been meaning to check this book out. I recommend Leave the World Behind, Magic Hour, and The Great Alone.

like

The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah- This one was a bit more serious but wonderfully told

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson- This one is humorous and cute and strange and just a happy light read

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry- Super cute book, very light read

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid- Amazing storyline, characters, loved everything about this book!

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
