Nothing goes together like books and coffee, so here are some books that you should read based on your go-to coffee order.
Cold brew coffee
If you are the type to enjoy cold brew coffee, you might go for something straight-forward that you can sink your teeth into. For this, I would recommend something to get you thinking, like a nonfiction or a spooky mystery! An excellent nonfiction book you may enjoy is “I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness” by Austin Channing Brown. Or, if you want to pair this with a chilling read, try “Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone” by Stefan Kiesbye.
Iced vanilla latte
There is nothing wrong with drinking this popular beverage! You like what you like, or maybe you like to play it safe. With this drink, I would recommend reading the fun edge-of-your-seat thriller “No Exit” by Taylor Adams, or the historical fiction book “The Vanishing Half” by Brit Bennett where you follow 16-year-old twins after they run away from their small town.
Dirty chai
Chai is good by itself, but with an espresso shot, it can put a pep in your step. If you enjoy this drink, you might have a busy life but like to enjoy some sweetness throughout your day. Pair this drink with a spooky mystery or thriller, or something that will melt your heart. I recommend “When No One Is Watching” by Alyssa Cole for something dark that will keep you glued to the page, or “Well Met” by Jen DeLuca for a sweet hate-to-love romance.
White chocolate mocha frappuccino
This drink is all about having fun and you love to live in the moment! Try either a fun contemporary or fantasy romance. “The Bromance Book Club,” by Lyssa Kay Adams is a great contemporary that took the romance world in storm. If you want something a little more fantasy-heavy, try the amazing “A Heart of Blood and Ashes” by Milla Vane that will be sure to tug on your heartstrings.
Fruity refreshers
You may not be into coffee, but you do like to treat yourself to a little something special. Short fluffy fiction books or funny nonfiction would be a great addition to your drink. “The Traveling Cat Chronicles” by Hiro Arikawa is an excellent short book from the point of view of a cute cat, and “Wow, No Thank You” is a collection of essays by Samantha Kirby that will make you laugh out loud!
