TBR Tuesday: Peppermint Pages & Cozy Cups ☕💋

The holiday menus are officially back, which means it’s time for red cups, cozy playlists, and that first peppermint-sweet sip that makes everything feel a little more magical. I don’t know about you, but the second the coffee shops start serving holiday drinks, I’m ready to grab a festive latte, wrap myself in a blanket, and dive straight into some cozy seasonal romances.

So today’s TBR Tuesday is all about holiday love stories paired with holiday drinks,  three books on my list, three delicious coffee creations that match their vibe perfectly.

🎁 Holiday Ever After by Hannah Grace

Small-town charm, frosty tension, and plenty of Christmas chaos — this one feels like the perfect start to the season. Clara’s sent to fix her family’s toy company’s PR disaster in Fraser Falls, but she doesn’t expect to run into Jack, the local craftsman who wants nothing to do with her family name. What begins as a battle of wills turns into something a lot softer (and sweeter) as the snow starts to fall.

Think enemies-to-lovers, cozy town vibes, and a touch of slow-burn magic.

☕ Coffee Pairing: Peppermint Mocha Latte — sweet, minty, and bold, just like this story. It starts strong but melts into something warm and comforting by the final sip.

💍 My December Darling by Lauren Asher

A small-town Christmas wedding, a little heartbreak, and a lot of longing — what more could I ask for? Catalina’s sister is marrying her ex, and she’s stuck playing nice with the best man, Luke (yep, her ex’s best friend). But between the sparkly lights, stolen glances, and slow-burn tension, the season of giving might just give her a second chance at love.

It’s tender, swoony, and full of that December-movie magic.

☕ Coffee Pairing: Gingerbread Latte — cozy, spiced, and full of nostalgia. A warm hug in a mug for a story that’s equal parts bittersweet and beautiful.

🎄How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn

Kringletown’s resident grump, Cole Black, would rather skip Christmas entirely — until his cheerful new neighbor, Storee, moves in next door. What starts as a rivalry (and a town-wide holiday competition) turns into fake dating, real feelings, and plenty of laugh-out-loud chaos. It’s festive, funny, and full of heart — the perfect holiday rom-com to close out your December TBR.

Think The Grinch meets Hallmark, but with a little extra spice.

☕ Coffee Pairing: Toasted White Chocolate Mocha — smooth, creamy, and perfectly indulgent. It’s the kind of drink that could even make a Christmas grump believe in love again.
