Two things

I absolutely must share two recent discoveries with you.

1. One Day by David Nicholls

I bought this book to read on my train ride to NY over Labor Day weekend. I have since had little time to read more of it, only doing so on the metro ride home from work. I finally finished it this past weekend, and it has easily taken over my #1 favorite book spot.

The book follows the two main characters, Dex and Em, through their tumultuous relationship over almost 20 years, with just a glimpse at their current lives on a particular day. Each year, you get a peek from both of their perspectives, and ultimately find out why this one day holds such significance in their lives. A fantastic read, and I highly, highly recommend that you read it.

2. ChocoVine

Have you heard of this yet?! My mom introduced it to me on the same weekend as I bought the above book, but I didn't try any until last night. It mixes Cabernet and Dutch chocolate to create heavenly goodness. I get how it sounds kind of weird, and looks kind of gross in the bottle (the bottle isn't brown, that's the 'wine').. but oh my gosh it's tasty!! I think it tastes very, very similar to Bailey's, so if you like that general flavor, grab a wine glass and pour some! For extra tastiness, add some ice cubes. Normally I would be incredibly mad at you for putting ice cubes in your red wine, but this has chocolate and it's dessert-y so it's totally ok ;)

Anyone else have recent discoveries or a new favorite thing?
