Coffee + Books: Celebrating 7 Years of Literary & Coffee Passion☕️

22 November, 2023 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.36 Comments

Hi, my beloved bookish family! How are you today? I hope you’re having a wonderful day filled with incredible reads. 🥰 I’m thrilled to bring you a very special post because, believe it or not, our cherished blog just celebrated its 7th anniversary a couple of days ago! 🥳🥳🥳 7 YEARS! Can you believe it? It’s mind-boggling, but it’s also the perfect moment to share a recommendation post where I go all out trying to persuade you to read each of my favorite books from over the years. 🎉 Plus, I’ll throw in some fresh titles from my TBR list. Let’s dive in! 🙌🏻

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably noticed that there’s only one thing I love more than books, and that’s coffee! ☕️So, I came up with the idea of combining them in a fun and unique recommendation post.✨ Plus, we’re celebrating the birthday of my baby blog, who’s actually a fully grown lad at this point—quite the grown-up 😂.

I can’t start this commemorative post for such a significant anniversary without thanking you, dear reader, whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or have recently discovered me online. I deeply appreciate the support and love I receive every day. I’ve always believed in the wonderful community of bloggers and readers, a community that is always there to support and encourage you at every step. However, my conviction has grown even stronger after returning from a long break. Despite my absence, I’ve seen familiar faces leaving comments full of love and excitement towards me and my blog. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I truly couldn’t be happier for deciding to start this blog so long ago. This space provides me with security and the freedom to express my ideas and my passion for reading, thanks to what we’ve built together: a community that is now more than that, it’s a family. I’m excited for those who have been here from the beginning, those who inspired me to start, and also for the new names that have emerged in recent years. What pride to be part of this wonderful world!❤️❤️❤️

You know me, I’m all about the cheesiness, but I had to get it off my chest. 🥹 Now, without further ado, this post will follow the following dynamics…

I’ll be showcasing at least five different types of coffee, naturally choosing the most popular ones. Alongside each coffee, I’ll be bringing you a selection of books that I feel would be the perfect companion for that particular brew. I’ll be categorizing them by genre and/or atmosphere, or depending on the vibes. I think you’ll understand it better as the post unfolds. 💫

With all that said, I’m very excited to bring you a new post on the blog. I genuinely hope you enjoy it! 🤩I aim to provide recommendations not only from books I’ve read but also include some titles with similar vibes that could pair well with specific types of coffee, expanding your range of options. 😊 Thank you for being on the other side reading; you’re amazing. Now, without further ado, let’s get started!❤️

Blog Tour | Kate in Waiting by Becky Albertalli

Title: Kate in Waiting

By: Becky Albertalli

Series: NO

Pages: 400

Published: April 20th, 2021

By: Balzer + Bray

Genre: Young Adult – Contemporary – Romance

Buy it: Book Depository | Amazon

Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway.

But when Kate and Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.

Turns out, communal crushes aren’t so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson’s friendship.

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a beautiful day! Today I bring you another part of our series, the book meme “Down the TBR Hole”, which I’m doing hoping that it will help me to reduce the number of books that are in my current TBR

My plan is to upload this meme every week!. I’ll show you 10 books of which I’ll choose which one I’ll keep or get rid of. I want to make this weekly meme as interactive as possible, so I’ll be consulting a lot with you, to decide what to do. There will be those books which I’ll be interested in (Keep), those which I’ll not be interested in anymore (GO) and those which I’ll not be sure about, and with those, I’ll need your help. So please, let me know all your thoughts in the comments and I’ll be able to take my decision and let you know in the next post. 💫

I’m very happy because I’ve seen that you have participated a lot in the previous post, leaving me your comments, so I’m super excited to continue with this weekly meme.
If you’re doing the same meme right now, let me know so I can check your post out and leave my thoughts there 💖Read More »

25 June, 201924 June, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.41 Comments

🌺 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a WONDERFULL day, full of good readings. Today, as promised, I bring you my book recommendation list featuring characters from the LGBT+ community. You have probably already heard me talk about ALL of these books at some point and I also believe that I have other recommendation posts where I mention them, but anyway, I wanted to make the full list with all the LGBT+ books that I LOVE and I’ve enjoyed, and share it with you. My goal is, besides to celebrate Pride Month, that you can add some to your TBR, read them at some point and enjoy them as well, maybe you can find a new favorite, which will mean the world to me!
You already know this, because I always tell you, but still, I LOVE YOU and if you belong to the LGBT+ community, I hope you’re having an amazing month celebrating how wonderful you are. LOVE IS LOVE 💕
I hope that you also leave me your own recommendations, I would love to know and add some books to my TBR, now, without further ado, let’s start!! 🌺 Read More »

Marvel Avengers || Book Tag || 💥

7 June, 20197 June, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.22 Comments

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having an INCREDIBLE day. Today I bring you a Book Tag that I’ve seen in the blog of the wonderful Jenna ❤️|| Bookmark Your Thoughts ||, and since then I’ve wanted to find a moment to do it myself. I’m not sure who was the creator, but if you know, let me know to give her/him the recognition it deserves. 💫

🌸 Before starting the tag wanted to clarify something, as you see by now, I haven’t posted on Wednesday, which I’ve never done before, but everything is GREAT!, it just has been my boyfriend’s birthday 🎊 and I’ve been very committed with the read-a-thon, so I haven’t had time to post, and being honest I didn’t want to do something just for post, you know?, because I knew then I wouldn’t be giving 100% of me. But it’s just that, and I wanted to share it with you.
I’ve been really having a great time with the Smutathon, I’ve read 2 of the 5 books in my TBR, so I think I’m doing pretty well, I’ve read The Unhoneymooners and Vicious, but I’ll tell you my thoughts next week, in my Wrap Up, and I possibly also have a series of short reviews so you can check out if you’re interested in knowing more about them.😊
Finally, you’ll notice that I’ll be testing new headers, I tend to get bored quickly from what I have and from time to time I like to change, so don’t worry anyway is a small change but it feels refreshing for me. Of course, let me know what you think, I don’t have a lot of design skills, actually, I don’t really have any, 😂 but I do what I can so I hope it’s pleasant to the eyes, at least 🌸

💫 So now, without further ado, let’s start with the tag and I hope you enjoy it and decide to do it yourself! 💫 Read More »

My plan is to upload this meme every week where. (I’m glad that now you want to see more books in this post so I decided to do 10 books per post instead of 5, not only will it be MUCH more entertaining and fun, because we’ll have more books to talk about, but I’ll also be able to clean my TBR faster which is great!) so, I’ll show you 10 books of which I’ll choose which one I’ll keep or get rid of. I want to make this weekly meme as interactive as possible, so I’ll be consulting a lot with you, to decide what to do. There will be those books which I’ll be interested in (Keep), those which I’ll not be interested in anymore (GO) and those which I’ll not be sure about, and with those, I’ll need your help. So please, let me know all your thoughts in the comments and I’ll be able to take my decision and let you know in the next post. 💫

Books I Want to Read But Don’t Want to Read || Book Tag 🍃

12 April, 201912 April, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.47 Comments

🍃 Hi guys, I hope you’re having an incredible month! Before starting with this incredible tag that I bring you today, I want to tell you that I’m currently reading Middlegame by Seanan McGuire and I’m loving it, but it’s VERY slow so I’ll probably finish it this weekend, to be able to bring you the review next week. 😊 On the other hand, I want to thank you for the INCREDIBLE support you have given me regarding the creation of my own Book Tag, you’ve told me such beautiful things and I’m so grateful for all of you, you always make me feel the love. I hope to see everyone doing the tag at some point! I would love it 💞
Today I bring you a “Book Tag” called Books I Want to Read But Do Not Want to Read, and it looks really good, I mean, who hasn’t been in that position when you want to read a certain book but you’re not sure about it and you end up feeling you don’t really want to read it for some reason and you always end up finding an excuse, cause that’s actually me 😅 . I was tagged by the wonderful Azia || The Uncharted Word, she has an INCREDIBLE blog, so I recommend you to check it out, it’s so worth it!
I think it will be fun, so let’s talk about some books!! 🍃Read More »

Power Couples || Book Tag 💞

💞 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a beautiful day. Today is Valentine’s Day, so I wish you a happy day full of love, I hope you all are very close to those lucky loved ones, not only couples but our families and friends. Let’s celebrate love in all its forms
I love you and I wish you the greatest happiness, so if you’re here with me right now, it’s an honor.
I was tagged to make this fun Book Tag by the great “The Orangutan Librarian” so, if you haven’t checked that blog yet, I don’t know what you’ve been doing with your life, cause it’s EXCELLENT, I recommend it a lot.💞

Please, Read This

Before starting, this is kind of weird because it doesn’t have ABSOLUTELY anything to do with the tag, but if I don’t mention it I’ll be feeling very guilty, I’m that kind of person lol. I, honestly, want to apologize with all of you guys for being so absent this week from all your posts, I usually take at least one hour or more every day to check your blog posts and comment on them, because I LOVE doing it , I love supporting you and I want you to feel it, but this week has been so CRAZY. I’ve had a lot of work and I’m also helping my aunt with her personal venture and also my best friend is having personal issues, so I must and want to be there for my loved ones, and I’ve to work and do life things lol.
Anyway, in summary, I’ll be back to normal soon, and I promise to check out all the blogs I can this weekend. I LOVE YOU AND YOU’RE INCREDIBLE, thanks for the support and you know that even though I can’t be there right now, I continue to support your work and your efforts. ❤️

Now, without further ado, let’s start with this tag dedicated to the best literary couples 💞Read More »
