BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this Shot episode we’re talking about the alien romance novel “Ice Planet Barbarians” by Ruby Dixon, which was published in 2015, but has now expanded into a series of 20 books. Just a quick heads-up that this book contains sexually explicit scenes, and we will *definitely* be talking about them at some point.

Since this is a Shot episode, there is no themed drink. Instead, pick your poison and take a shot. Cheers!

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this episode, we’re talking about the first book in the beloved Flavia de Luce mystery series, “The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” by Alan Bradley, which was first published in 2009.

The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is called a Cucumber Cooler cocktail, made with gin, cucumber, lime, tonic water, mint, and sugar. Since most of the action takes place in Flavia’s family’s cucumber patch, we thought it would be fitting to make use of them!

We’re so happy to have Jess Owens as a special guest once again!

In this episode, we’re talking about “The Marrow Thieves” by Cherie Dimaline, which was first published in 2017. It’s a disturbing but important read, especially for non-Indigenous people in Canada and elsewhere, as we endeavour to honour truth and reconciliation and grapple with the shameful colonial history of our country and the unceded territory we live on.

The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is a locally made berry oolong tea blend – we chose this drink as it felt like something the characters could forage and make with their kettle during their years on the run in the forest.

** Book content/trigger warnings: death, grief, climate change, violence, residential schools, racism, sexual assault, genocide, and intergenerational trauma. **

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

This episode, we’re talking about the modern gothic classic “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier, which was first published in 1938.

The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is quite fittingly called the Haunted Mansion cocktail: it’s made with frozen lemonade concentrate, water, ginger ale, and black vodka. As this book is one of the most famous novels about a gothic manor, we thought this drink would be perfect!

** Book content/trigger warnings: Ableism (including dated language), adultery, cancer, dementia, drowning, murder, social anxiety, suicidal ideation. **

In this Shot episode, we'll be talking about the contemporary romance novel “The Love Hypothesis” by Ali Hazelwood, which was published just last month, September 2021. We were all obsessed with this book so we decided we could record our thoughts about it for a bonus episode!

This is our very first Shot episode, so there is no themed drink. Instead, pick your poison and take a shot. Cheers!

** Content/trigger warnings: this episode contains discussions of sexually explicit scenes from the book **

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this episode, we discuss Tiffany D. Jackson’s first novel, "Allegedly". This YA Thriller was published in 2017 and follows a young black girl named 'Mary B. Addison [who] killed a baby. Allegedly.' 

The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is a Christmas rum punch, like the characters drink at a Christmas party at Mary’s lawyer’s house. This is one of the few happy moments in the book, so it felt fitting to celebrate. The drink is made with white rum, cherry juice, cranberry juice, simple syrup, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger ale.

** Content/trigger warnings include: psychological and physical abuse, graphic descriptions of attempted murder, infanticide, racially-motivated violence, and PTSD**

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this episode, we discuss Helen Hoang’s contemporary romance series, The Kiss Quotient, which features the following novels: “The Kiss Quotient”, “The Bride Test”, and “The Heart Principle”. 

This episode's drink is a classic margarita! The main love interests of each novel, Michael, Khai, and Quan, all drink them in their backyard together in a sweet scene in The Heart Principle, and it just seemed like the perfect fun drink to sip and talk about this series! It’s made with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, with salt on the rim.

** Content/trigger warnings include: intense subjects like discrimination due to neurodivergence, death of a loved one, emotional abuse, xenophobia, suicidal ideation, and sexual harassment. **

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this episode, we discuss Faridah Abike-Iyimide's debut novel, "Ace of Spades". We also have a very special guest for this episode, an American Booktuber we all know and love, who has a popular series called Book CommuniTEA, it’s Jess Owens! You can find Jess on Youtube at Jess Owens or instagram at @saidbyjess.

This episode's drink is a Last Chance cocktail! It’s made with two parts vodka, four parts orange juice, and one part triple sec. We thought it would be a good fit because of all the gambling themes in this book, as well as the threatening mystery of Aces.

** Content/trigger warnings include: systemic racism, racially and sexually motivated violence, homophobia, PTSD, and suicidal ideation. **
