Join us as we discuss "The Devourers" by Indra Das, a book where we end up with more questions than answers about these shapeshifters, but there's one main conclusion: It's a love triangle where they all eat each other, but not in the way that you expect. Valkyrie once again proves that she can't go a single episode without singing and *MIC SCRATCH* what the hell did Lolo just say about "p****"?! .

Our next book is Three Two One by J.A. Huss so put on your "what the fuck is this mess?" hats because it's a wild ride...

This week we welcome Kenya, bloggess from The Booked Up Boss as we psychoanalyze Lolo's dislike of musicals (except Wicked) and Le Valkyrie's need for a Gone Girl musical. When books are made into musicals, everyone wins. Except Lolo. But she doesn't count.

Welcome to Drunk on Books where the Wine Cooler and Hard Soda shade is real. We discuss what movies/shows make us cry, how the characters in this book are quintessential examples of fuckboys and fuckgirls, and how Cecily No Tyson is clearly just on the 20 year rebound. Also, Valkyrie explains the importance of claiming things in advance, even if it's fantasy ass that you've never had and why Cicely really ain't about that life. Just in case you didn't know, Tyler is the only one on the come up in the entire book. The only one.

Valkyrie – Wine Cooler

Lolo – Hard Soda

Join us for our next book, The Devourers by Indra Das!

"Find your Tribe, Ride your Tribe."

Join us as Drunk on Books debuts a slight twist with our Off The Books series, where we (and sometimes a guest or two) talk about our favor literary topics.

This week LeValkyrie and I discuss our favorite fictional neighborhood, Sector 4, from Kit Rocha's Beyond Series and why we'd fight each other to get in line to be inked up!

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

LoLo: Ginger Beer

LeValkyrie: Ginger Beer AND whiskey (because she always has to be on 10)

Three words to describe this episode: OUT. OF. CONTROL. Hands down, this is our favorite episode so far. Yes, we know we're only have 6 episodes in total so far, but we're serious. It's the best, and our disclaimer about crude language and themes has never applied more. Here's some direct quotes from the episode:

1) "War, what is good for? Absolutely nothing."

2) "Once you go minotaur, you never go back."

3) L: "She rode that man, flipped him inside out…curled right back up into a cat, and went to sleep." V: That's how you do that shit.

4) "Who doesn't want to see what I Love Lucy got going on behind them polka dots?"

5) "Maybe she felt that every kiss began with Kay and that's why she wanted to keep that coin."

"It's Lit" is an understatement for this episode. Many apologies to Neil Gaiman for the hood review of this book!

Please join us for our next episode where we discuss "A Road Through the Mountains" by Miranda MacLeod!

Episode 1 is finally live!!

Valkyrie's not quite sure what she read, but she knows that the Cash Money Millionaires and Young Thug are involved somehow. Lolo is clearly the only person who has an idea of what the Meduse actually look like, even if she giggles wayyyy too hard when Squidward is mentioned. And there's so slight stanning for Eve's Bayou because…it's Eve's Bayou!!

Valkyrie: Malbec Lolo: Chardonnay

Join us for our next episode where we will be discussing Lingus by Mariana Zapata!
