Books & Wine, a Perfect Pair
This week marked the end of the first third of the year! I can't believe it's already May. It doesn't quite feel like May yet, but I'm hopeful. I figured it’s a good time to reflect and recap what I read and drank during the first four months of 2019! Maybe you'll be inspired to… Continue reading Jan-April: Looking at the Glass a Third Full
Delia Owens' debut novel, Where the Crawdads Sing, hurt my heart from its first page to its last. The NY Times got it right when they called it, “Painfully heartbreaking”. I had extremely high expectations for this book. It currently holds a 5 star rating on Amazon out of 9,000+ customer reviews and a 4.53… Continue reading Where the Crawdads Sing
A few years ago, I read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for the first time. I am ashamed to admit that even though I studied literature in college, I didn't read Jane Austen. It was never assigned, so I just didn’t read it. Years later, I wanted to right my wrong and picked up… Continue reading Jane Austen’s Delightful Emma

Harper Lee is responsible for why I studied literature in college, why I adore reading, and why I became a writer.

Every January for the last five years, with the exception of 2018, I've spent a week in Grand Cayman working at Chef Eric Ripert's culinary event, Cayman Cookout. It's both a wonderful and tiring week, but one that I look forward to every year. Who wouldn't want to spend a week in a tropical paradise,… Continue reading Spending Winter in Paradise

I find all three books hilarious and endearing. I loved them so much that I’m jealous of readers who have yet to experience them… Continue reading Crazy Rich Asians is a Crazy Good Time
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is one of the greatest joys of my life. It wasn’t until I took a Children’s Literature course in college when I finally read the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as an assignment. I was hooked immediately. Since that fateful assignment, my love of Harry… Continue reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
My latest read is The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle. It was my Book of the Month pick for August and I couldn’t want to get hands on it and devour the story. Here is the synopsis from the back of the book: At one point or another, we’ve all been asked to name five people,… Continue reading The Dinner List
Sometimes you need a fresh start, ya know? A couple years ago, I started a blog called Pour Me Another Novel. (You can still check out my old posts and pairings here.) The purpose was to combine my two favorite things - books and wine. The premise was simple, I'd pair the books I read… Continue reading Keri Reads & Drinks (& Writes)
