Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.This week, we are joined once again by our friend and fellow book lover Jess Owens! We're going to be talking about “The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisin, a newer book by one of Tilly's favourite authors. This is an urban fantasy/speculative sci-fi novel and was published in 2020. The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is fittingly called The New Yorker, and it’s made with bourbon, claret red wine, lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange juice. We thought this would be the perfect drink for a book about New York City coming alive!“The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisin: https://tinyurl.com/3m5v3sk6Want to support our little podcast?

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. **"The Marrow Thieves" by Cherie Dimaline: https://tinyurl.com/88tca2z2Want to support our little podcast?
