Diving into a book at the end of the day is one of our favorite ways to wind down and relax. We love getting immersed in new worlds, suspenseful plots and compelling character relationships.


Before diving into a good book we always make sure we have a few essentials:

1. A good beverage - Whether it’s tea in the wintertime, or a glass of sparkling water in the summer, it’s always good to have something to quench your thirst.


With the warm weather upon us, we’ve been reaching for Tality Kombuchaalmost everyday and we love their seasonal flavors!


2. Reading socks - There’s nothing worse than getting into the juiciest part of the story only to be distracted by your feet being cold! 


We recommend Pudus Slipper Socks to keep your feet comfortable while you read. With an extra-plush faux-fur lining they’ll keep you feeling cozy for hours!


3. Reading glasses - Make sure you’re not straining your eyes when you’re reading because you may have to stop mid-chapter, just before you’ve discovered who committed the crime because your eyes hurt! And if you don’t need prescription glasses, if you’re reading on a tablet or smartphone you should always use blue-light blocking glasses to keep your eyes comfortable. 


Check out https://www.peepers.com/ to find the perfect pair of glasses for you. They’ve got great styles to match everyone’s unique taste!


Now that you’ve got all the essentials, it’s time to jump into our top list of books!
