Any Bridgerton fans out there? Have you read the book AND watched the series? Let's discuss...

As fans of historical romance usually, we have a lot of opinions about the book. Who has read past the first book in the series?

And for those who know us, you won't be surprised we have yet another gin cocktail, but also champagne, because of course!

Wet Your Whistledown cocktail:

1/2 oz elderflower liqueur

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

1/2 oz honey syrup

2 oz champagne

edible flowers to garnish

We are finally revisiting the Outlander series after a VERY long break! 

Welcome back everyone! We are so excited to be talking about Dragonfly in Amber... there's time travel, romance, Scotland, Paris, enemies, wars, diabetes sniffing dogs, and a whole lot of wine;) Plus, maybe the best ending ever???

Grab some gin, ginger beer and lime juice for this dragonfly cocktail and cozy on up with this long but totally worth it read! Let's check in on Jamie and Claire...

We expected a beach romance, we got... something much different.

And hey! We have a lot to talk about. Influencer Daphne shares her story of becoming a body positive internet icon, and when she reconnects with an old frenemy (or so we've deemed her), a HUGE twist comes out of nowhere and we were both here for it!

Mix up your Big Twist Aperol Spritz and let's talk about Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner!

Remember, it's not drinking alone if you have a book!

I think our feelings were similar to those of a lot of people... we picked up this book expecting talks of murder with a bit of memoir thrown in, and that is absolutely not this book.

Both having been fans of the podcast My Favorite Murder, we did not expect this to be such a laborious read. But alas, here are our thoughts.

Mix yourself up our cocktail of the week: "Sweet Baby Angel" which is lemon juice, Hendrick's gin, sparkling water, ice, and garnish with cucumber and lemon.

Oh yes, it is time for more vampires! In this world, vampires can legally be part of human society and tell humans that they are vampires. Some humans are excited about this, while others are terrified and not so accepting of the new deadly members of their community. Sookie, the waitress at Merlotte's bar with a unique ability to read the mind's of *most* people/ vampires, gets tangled up in a romance with vampire Bill and the investigation of the murders of three "fang bangers" (perhaps my favorite terminology associated with vampire books) in her small town.

So basically if you like vampires, or murder mystery, or romance, grab a glass of your favorite cabernet sauvignon and join us in discussing the series that inspired True Blood!

Anna Fox lives alone, a recluse in her New York city home, unable to venture outside. She spends her days drinking wine, watching old movies, recalling happier times… wow, this sounds way too familiar. 😬 

This book was twisty and constantly asks the question of what is real and what is imagined inside our unreliable narrator’s mind? Grab a (big) glass of merlot and join us as we dive into The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn and join in the conversation!

Cheers! #imbibewithbooks

Kind of wishing the Oasis was a thing right about now... wouldn't mind escaping into a different world and focusing all my energy on hunting an easter egg. 

Ready Player One is an escape in every sense, and we loved chatting about all of the 80s nostalgia, the obsessive gunter's ability to decipher clues, and which challenges we think we could complete to obtain the hidden keys!

Have you ever thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die? The two most common options are cremation and burial, but did you know there is a wide variety of options available? Do you know what it means by "donating your body to science"? Do you know what the most environmentally friendly options are?

Mary Roach brilliantly explores the many avenues available for human cadavers, and while this book may seem morbid, we both found it quite fascinating and easily approachable. 

To accompany us, we poured a "stiff drink", AKA a dry Hendricks gin martini. 

We want to hear what you think!

Hey! We are back in your feeds and it is with a BRILLIANT book filled with magic, a mysterious challenge, some romance, and not great parenting skills. We discuss what we loved, the characters that intrigued us most, and some divisive thoughts about the ending.

But the most wonderful thing about this book was it made us think that just maybe, magic is real.
