This month, we’re revisiting the book that basically built Beth’s personality and set the bar for her entire aesthetic. Join us as we read Let’s Go All Around the Neighborhood by Patricia "Patty" Thomas, a sweet, breezy little story about a day of city errand-running that somehow manages to hold an entire childhood inside its pages.

What starts as a simple stroll through the neighborhood turns into a full nostalgia deep dive as we swap stories about playground antics, library obsessions, corner stores, and the unintentional comedy that only kids can deliver.

To round it all out, we’re sipping on a Neighborhood Stroll…classic, balanced, and just tart enough to keep things interesting. Come wander the block with us.

1. Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (1982)
2. Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (Online Edition)
3. Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey
4. Swingin' (John Anderson song)

This month, Sam and Beth are leaning all the way into cozy nostalgia with Christmas in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Join in as they revisit Laura’s world of log cabins, maple candy, and one very special rag doll. 

They're sipping on Sugar Cookie Martinis (sweet, festive, and absolutely deserving of a spot by the tree). Along the way, they reminisce about their our own childhood Christmas memories, favorite traditions, and how the season feels different (but still meaningful) now that they are adults.

This month, Beth and Sam crack open a true childhood classic: Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective by Donald J. Sobol. What starts as a simple trip back to Idaville quickly turns into a nostalgic tour of tent squatters, suspicious eggs, and a kid who is far too enthusiastic about collecting teeth. 

And because no episode is complete without a little liquid courage, Sam mixes up a Michelada , a beer-forward twist on a Bloody Mary, while Beth immediately and wholeheartedly regrets every moment of this tomato-based drink.

Mentions:

• Encyclopedia Brown by Donald Sobol
• Encyclopedia Brown (TV Show 1989)
• The Michelada
• The Wizard (1989)
• Butter-dipped Soft Serve

This month, we’re channeling our inner Grand High Witch as we dive into The Witches by Roald Dahl, a darkly whimsical classic that’s equal parts enchanting and unsettling. From mouse transformations to hotel conspiracies, we’re unpacking the childhood fears this book sparked (and laughing at how unbothered grown-ups seemed to be about children getting turned into rodents).

To keep things delightfully spellbinding, we’re sipping on The Witchy Lady! Join us as we reminisce about reading this story under the covers, debate whether the witches were truly that scary, and discuss why Roald Dahl’s brand of weird still captivates us as adults.

Grab your broomstick (or your martini glass) and join the coven! This Boozy Book Report is one you don’t want to miss.

Mentions: 

• The Witches
• The Witches (1990)
• The Witches (2020)
• The Craft (1996)
• Teen Witch (1989)

Sam and Beth are back just in time for back to school! It’s time to pass notes, pick out your best scrunchie, and argue over who gets to sit at the cool lunch table because this month we’re cracking open Girl Talk #1: Welcome to Junior High by L.E. Blair.

They're diving headfirst into the drama of seventh grade and unpacking the nostalgia of folded paper fortune tellers, glitter pens, and the very specific drama of starting junior high in the early ‘90s!

And since no middle school memory is complete without a sugar rush, they've paired the book with a very delicious Coconut Banana daiquiri. 

Join in for laughs, cocktails, and a trip back to the awkward glory of junior high.
