I also love to curl up with a good book, but I often choose wine over coffee, especially in the evenings. I read a lot and my favorite is usually what I'm presently reading. So today my favorite is the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. Mystery, paranormal, drama and hilarity all rolled up into one book.
