Book Coffee Happy’s newest series where I share the book I’m currently reading, the coffee I’m currently drinking, and 1 thing that is currently making me happy!
Book I’m Currently Reading:
Local Woman Missing {Mary Kubica}
Goodreads Synopsis of Local Woman Missing {Mary Kubica}:
Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.
Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find…
Before I fell asleep a few nights ago, I decided to pick up this book and read the first few pages….and SEVENTY pages later I turned off my booklight! I. COULD. NOT. STOP. READING.
I actually just finished this book over the weekend and all I can say is WOW.
I can’t wait to review this one alongside Melissa Amster of Chick Lit Central as it gets closer to the book’s release date (I was fortunate enough to receive an Advance Readers Copy….it doesn’t release until May). Stay tuned!
Coffee I’m Currently Drinking:
14 years ago Jon and I took a trip to New York and visited the site of my ALL TIME favorite movie, Serendipity (for more about that trip and to see pictures of us there, check out THIS POST). I bought a coffee mug as a souvenir that day and have had it beautifully displayed in a cabinet in our dining room ever since.
A few days ago, I looked at my beautiful souvenir and thought…why have I been STARING at this gorgeous coffee mug for 14 years when I could actually be USING it??? Like so many things in life, if you aren’t using it what’s the point in even having it?!? I opened the doors to our display and promptly put my beautiful mug straight into the dishwasher. Once it was clean, my beautiful mug was filled with coffee for the very first time ever!
I swear this mug makes my coffee taste even more delicious.
It’s a gigantic mug with gorgeous pictures on all sides. Printed along the bottom states the definition of serendipity: The art of making happy discoveries, or finding the unexpectedly pleasant by chance or sagacity
So, so beautiful.
Aaaaand my children think it’s hilarious that Mommy has been drinking from a mug with naked people on it…turns out this mug is making EVERYONE smile over here, lol…
Even the very bottom of the mug is amazing:
Public Service Announcement: If you haven’t seen the movie Serendipity, WATCH THE MOVIE SERENDIPITY. My best friend Amy and I saw it 10 times while it was in still in theaters! Such a special movie that will forever hold a special place in my heart 🙂
Currently Making Me Happy:
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!
Chicagoland has been hit with a ridiculous amount of snow recently and I am HERE FOR IT! I have been snow obsessed throughout my entire life and I am absolutely LOVING all of this snow. As I’m typing this, the forecast is anticipating another 8-13 inches TONIGHT! Hell yes! Bring. It. ON.
***It’s worth noting that I may possibly be the one and only adult in all of the Chicagoland area who is happy about all of this snow. My Facebook newsfeed is currently filled with complaints and memes about how awful it is and I’m over here all, “IT’S SNOOOOOOOOOOWING!!!!!!!!”
What are you currently reading?
What coffee are you currently enjoying?

Book Coffee Happy 
Books I’m currently reading: No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale (if you haven’t read her books yet, you need to!!!) and The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See (I think you said you liked her novel Shanghai Girls a lot).
Tea I’m currently drinking: I had two cups of Benner (from Aldi) mint tea tonight.
What is currently making me happy: A clean house. We had the cleaning service here today. Also, Workin’ Moms. It’s so snarky, funny, and honest, but not safe to watch in front of kids (even if they like your naked people mug). Also, the Bar Mitzvah slide show video my husband is making for our younger son. I’m loving it every time I see an update. 🙂

Your mentioning of serendipity got that Babylon song in my head. Now I’m going to be compulsively singing the chorus to that song, for the rest of the day, even while writing a book about an up-and-coming apocalypse on a faraway planet, lol.
