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.Mentions: Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (1982)Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (Online Edition)Uncle Nearest Premium WhiskeySwingin' (John Anderson song)Mychal the LibrarianNeighborhood Stroll2 oz whiskey1 oz lemon juice¾ oz Crème de cassisShake, pour over ice in a highball glassFill the rest of the way with ginger ale_____________Monthly book reports featuring your favorite childhood and YA classics with an added bonus of delicious cocktails and snarky commentary.Hosted by Beth + SamMusic by The Finley Ghost_____________Connect with the Boozy Book Reports CrewTikTok: @boozybookreportsInstagram: @boozybookreport______________boozybookreports@gmail.comboozybookreports.com

This month, join in as we into the wild, body-horror-adjacent world of middle schoolers secretly fighting an alien invasion. Yes, we’re reading The Visitor, the second book in the Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate, where morphing is getting easier, the stakes are getting higher, and things get very weird very fast. To match the bright-cover, dark-undertones energy of this book, we’re sipping on a Tequila Sunrise….classic, dramatic, and deceptively easy to drink!Mentions:Animorphs: The VisitorAnimorphs (1998)Tequila SunriseThe Invasion (2007)The Road by Cormac McCarthyThe Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio_____________Monthly book reports featuring your favorite childhood and YA classics with an added bonus of delicious cocktails and snarky commentary.Hosted by Beth + SamMusic by The Finley Ghost_____________Connect with the Boozy Book Reports CrewTikTok: @boozybookreportsInstagram: @boozybookreport______________boozybookreports@gmail.comboozybookreports.com

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 SobolEncyclopedia Brown (TV Show 1989)The MicheladaThe Wizard (1989)Butter-dipped Soft Serve_____________Monthly book reports featuring your favorite childhood and YA classics with an added bonus of delicious cocktails and snarky commentary.Hosted by Beth + SamMusic by The Finley Ghost_____________Connect with the Boozy Book Reports CrewTikTok: @boozybookreportsInstagram: @boozybookreport______________boozybookreports@gmail.comboozybookreports.com

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!
