Drunk Of The Book Club

Awww it's time for another episode of Drunk of the Book Club, drunkers! This time, we discuss Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany. This week, we two Harry Potter love-ahs discuss many things, such as: the difference with reading a play version of Harry Potter, cheesiness, wanting to see the production, character caricatures, seeing our old faves again, the fact that Harry is still such a baby sometimes, Albus and Scorpius's adorbs friendship, goofy prophesies, new Harry Potter movies, being low energy, and drinking mimoSAS. https://img.ifcdn.com/images/92156675512876c1026533211071b47d1e210dd01b9dd3e86cbdcc3d9256520c_1.jpg Olivia drinks: water Ashley drinks: water and coffee (we're sobes today, ya'll!)

Hey drunky babies! Welcome to Episode 8: Barbara the Slut! This time we read Barbara the Slut and Other People by Lauren Holmes. This episode, we were finally together in one place! It was simply marvelous. Somehow we pulled ourselves away from our ladies Palm Springs getaway for a chitty-chat about oh so much. In this episode, you can hear the cicadas buzzing while we relate ourselves to elements of the book, discuss life from the point of view of a dog, ponder sexual empowerment, and so much more. Ashley and Olivia drink: coffee (borrrrinnggg) We read: Barbara the Slut and Other People by Lauren Holmes Up next: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne

Surprise, drunkers! We're back just one week later with episode 7! As we mentioned last time, we read Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance. This episode, we are so on the Aziz Train. At the beginning, though, we get caught on a podcast tangent (name checking Reply All; This American Life; Death, Sex, and Money with Anna Sale; Story Corps; and Sara Weber's Adolescence is A Marketing Tool). We also discuss the fact that Olivia is Aziz's number one stalker, sadness (or happiness? zing!) over the fact that Aziz is no longer with the girlfriend mentioned in the book, the fact that this book may make people want to delete all online dating accounts, the fact that "VCR movies" is not a genre, and so.much.more. Olivia drinks: old champagne and fruit juice Ashley drinks: coffee with coffee liqueur We read: Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari Up next: Barbara the Slut and Other People by Lauren Holmes

Hola muchachos! Sorry we skipped a week; we're very important people with very important lives. While we were being very important, though, we read Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton, and now we're ready to talk to you about it. In this episode, we discuss graphic comparisons between poop and guacamole (yum! hope you're not eating right now!), we figure out the relevance of the title, we explore our new fondness for the genre that is "food memoir," we learn about Jacques Pépin and his chivey-ness, and finally we promise to tweet Aziz Ansari (okay, that's actually more of a preview of episode 7). Olivia drinks: bourbon and coke Ashley drinks: $6 sauvignon blanc We read: Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton Up next: Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

Hey, cuties! It's time for another edition of Drunk of the Book Club!!! HAAAAYYYOOOOO In this episode, we discuss the ickiness of transphobia (dear listeners, if you don't think the end was transphobic, let us hear your opinion), as well as the in-your-face symbolism and the can't-put-it-down-ness of this book. We also discuss how much Olivia hates Steinbeck (gasp) and how Ashley left her copy of the book in a hotel room (groan). Olivia drinks: Bogle Chardonnay Ashley drinks: A margarita We read: Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi Up next: Blood, Bones, and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton
