    The Wild Kingdom

    Hold on to your butts, folks, this one is fantastic! We tried so hard to keep this one spoiler free, and I think we succeeded? Have a listen to this spoiler-free episode on The Wild Kingdom by Paige Hurtubise. This book is a wild ride from start to finish, featuring a badass FMC, unique magic system, and a "fated mates but only one of them knows" situation. This one is definitely worth a read, and comes out soon! To pair with the wild vibes of the book, we drank and amazing Strawberry Basil Gimlet: 2oz. Gin 3 muddled strawberries  With 2 oz. lime juice and 1 tsp of sugar (More if you like it sweet) 3 big sprigs of Fresh Basil Add the first 3 ingredients to a shaker with ice (basil on the bottom) and shake HARD for 2 min.  Strain into a fresh glass with ice and top with soda water or sprite. Enjoy!

    The Ever King

    Arrrrr me mateys! Shiver me timbers! Pirate romantasy may be our new favourite genre - especially if it has a respectful and dashing MMC, and fierce FMC, and cool history and magic system. The Ever King was a super fun read - and we may have a new top contender for our book boyfriend lists. Can you guess what we drank for this episode? Something that gives us the taste of the wild seas - Pirate Punch of course! What pirate-themed episode wouldn't include rum? 1oz. Dark rum Dash of cinnamon Splash of Lime 2 oz. cranberry juice Small can of Sprite or Ginger ale Garnish with a lemon or lime (Pineapple would also go well with this drink!)

    Rhapsodic

    Deep trauma, "touch her and die", Fated mates, and enemies-to-friends-to-lovers? Sign us up. Join us as we discuss the wild ride that is Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa. This one kept us guessing until the very end, and while it has some tried and true tropes, it is utterly unique. Callie, our FMC, loves a good whiskey. So we created the Callie Special to pair with this fun read! ½ cup cranberry juice Good squirt of lime juice Small can of spicy ginger beer 1 oz. of shooting whiskey.  Pour the first 3 ingredients into a glass with ice. Pour your whiskey into a separate shot glass. Shoot the whiskey, chase with the drink. Enjoy! Tag us if you try it!

    Dire Bound

In this episode we talk about Dire Bound by Sable Sorenson, an epic tale of a kickass FMC who loves her family, a sassy dire wolf, betrayal, friendship, and trials. To pair with this amazing book we made "Dire Wine", as a nod to the emberwine we see the bonded recruits drink in the book. Ingredients: 1 glass of red wine (we like a hefty pour) 1 oz. Creme de Cassis 1 oz. Brandy  2 oz. Cranberry Juice Splash of Sparkling water or gingerale Sliced oranges and blackberries To a fresh glass with ice, add brandy, creme de cassis, Cranberry Juice, and wine and stir.

    House of Beating Wings

    This one was a nice surprise! Based in a Venetian-inspired paradise, Olivia Wildenstein's House of Beating Wings is the kind of book you sink into and don't want to come back to the surface. Listen as we discuss our girl Fallon and her adventures, find out why we need to give Dante a map, and definitely try the delicious drink, the Terespagian Sunset. We think it might be the best one yet! 1 oz. Aperol 1 oz. Creme de Cassis 1 oz. Orange Juice Splash of Sparkling water or Prosecco if you’re feeling naughty! To a fresh glass with ice, add aperol, creme de cassis, OJ and stir. Top with the soda or prosecco. Garnish with an orange wedge or blackberry and enjoy.

    Gild

    We had so much fun talking through Raven Kennedy's Gild in this episode! It was like the universe was conspiring against us with technical difficulties the first THREE TIMES we tried to record this one, but we got it figured out. The beauty and magic of the Plated Prisoner series starts here, in this amazing dive into a cold and blizzardy world where kings are dipshits and subterfuge is rewarded. To help us warm up from the chill of Highbell, try out our Highbell Hot Toddy: 1 cup pineapple juice ½ cup orange juice 1 tsp honey 1 cinnamon stick 1 thick ginger slice 1 tbsp butter Dash of cloves Heat in a sauce pan on low-medium heat (you don’t want the sugars to burn), until hot and steaming. Remove ginger slice and cinnamon stick and pour into your favourite mug. Garnish with a fresh cinnamon stick. enjoy!
