Coffee and a new book to read...

I am an admitted Starburcks addict, not the fancy coffee, but the Americano, which is four shots of espresso and water, (no surprise I'm addicted, huh?!). Anyways, when I saw this book at my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, I was right away attracted to it. It is a true story of Michael Gates Gill who went from a six-figure salary and an Ivy League education and having it all to losing his job, getting divorced and being diagnosed with a brain tumor. He ends up working at Starbucks, and it explores his life adventures while working there and the unlikely friendships he encounters and how those friendships instill in him a new sense of self-worth and happiness he had never known before.
Check it out, and enjoy some Starbucks too! Suzie Button

  2. That book sounds an interesting read.

    My last job had a Starbucks next to the office - I think I spent more time at their counter than at my desk.

    Next job had a free Starbucks coffee bar, it was only the basic's like cappucino's, lattes and your fave, Americano's but saved me a fortune.
