Welcome to the Live Deliciously Book Club —
where stories aren’t just read, they’re felt.
Each month, we’ll dive into books that feed the senses: lush prose, intoxicating characters, and worlds that make you want to linger long after the last page.
And because reading is an experience, every pick comes with its perfect aesthetic pairing — the wine to sip, the candle to light, and the mood to set.
📚 This Month’s Book
📖 Kiss of the Basilisk
by Lindsay Straube
A gothic fantasy drenched in obsession, beauty, and the fine line between science and seduction.
If The Picture of Dorian Gray and Crimson Peak had a love child, this would be it.
The Vibe
Victorian poison gardens, forbidden experiments, slow-burn madness.
Perfect for readers who love morally gray romance and lyrical writing.
🍷 The Wine Pairing
Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah — something dark, full-bodied, and a little dangerous.
Sip slowly and let it stain your lips as you turn each page.
🕯️ The Candle
Notes: Vetiver, smoke, black rose, and amber.
Try: Heretic Parfum’s Dirty Rose candle or Boy Smells’ Hinoki Fantôme.
The goal is to fill the room with warmth that borders on sinful.
🎶 The Playlist
“Dark Romance & Velvet Nights”
Songs that hum in the background like a secret — Lana Del Rey, Cigarettes After Sex, London Grammar.
