No overthinking. First answer that pops into your head. 🌴 Pick one from each: 🌅 Sunrise or sunset? ☕ Cuban coffee or frozen cocktail? 📚 Bookstore browsing or bar hopping? 🐓 Roosters or cats? 🚶 Wandering Duval or finding quiet side streets? 🏖 Beach day or history day? 🍤 Fancy dinner or casual seafood shack? My answers may change depending on caffeine level and humidity, so there’s that. Drop yours below.

Sunrise coffee walk or Sunset cocktail?

This month we’re reading Green Flash at Sunset by Nic Schuck, and I’m so excited to talk about it here. No pressure on reading speed. Some of us fly through a book. Some of us read three pages, fall asleep, and wake up with the book on our face. Both are valid literary lifestyles. To start us off: What made you interested in this book? Was it the Key West connection? The author? The cover? The story? Or are you just here because I gently nudged you into another island-themed reading adventure?

I’ve been doing a little behind-the-scenes book club housekeeping, and I wanted to let you know that I’ve started creating classes for some of our past reads. Inside each book class, I’ll be adding things like: 📖 the digital magazine 🎥 links to author interviews or related chats 🍹 fun extras when we have them 💬 a place to revisit the book anytime Right now, some of the past reads are up, and I’m working on getting everything caught up. So if you see a few books missing, don’t worry. The bookish elves are still sorting the shelves. 🐓📚 My goal is to make this space an easy little library of all the books we’ve read together, so whether you’re new here, missed a past pick, or just want to revisit an old favorite, you’ll have everything in one spot. Take a peek when you have a chance, and let me know what you think! 🌴✨

Not your favorite restaurant. Not your favorite sunset. Not the big bucket-list answer. I want the small moment. The sound of roosters in the morning.The first sip of Cuban coffee.That hot wall of air when you step off the plane.A weird little side street.A bartender who made you laugh.A walk where you had nowhere to be. What is one small Key West moment that still makes you smile? Mine would probably involve coffee, chickens, and me pretending I am not already planning my next trip before the current one is over. Your turn.
