Is it cocktail time already? I swear, one of these days I’ll get the timing right and not wind up making a stiff drink at 11am on a Thursday. But today is not that day! We’re going a little rogue for this month’s cocktail! We’re celebrating the re-release of Wrapped and Strapped by Lorelei James. Some of my early erotica-reading days included James’ books. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, there are hot cowboys and … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Save a Horse →
Aw, yeah! It’s cocktail time! It’s also warming up in New England, which means I’m hot all the time and alternating between chugging water and finding new, fruity beers to drink. This month my drink is inspired by The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, an awesome piece of women’s fiction between a rock star and a gallery owner. Lee is an actress (she’s in the Fifty Shades sequels!) and this is her debut novel. … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Solar Eclipse →
As I’m writing this, Boston is getting hit with a snowstorm, delivering 8-14 inches (hehehe). Both of my roommates are working from home with me, so this drink cocktail post has turned into a full day-drinking party. I couldn’t be happier. Snow. A beautiful, boozy cocktail. Good books. Marie has Swing Time by Zadie Smith. Stephanie has At the Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson. And me…I’m finishing up Wintersong and oh, boy. … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Crescendo →
Fall is here! Do you hear that? That’s me, gallivanting through the fallen leaves in a pair of jeans that make my butt look fan-freaking-tastic. No more chub rub! No more sweating! This is my season! It also means an uptick in my brunch-going, making boozy and fruity desserts (in our apartment, we make spiced boozy apples and cranberries on the stove and then pour it over a pound cake), and shrouding myself in puffy … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: A Fond Farewell →
The dog days of summer are upon us and there’s nothing more that I want to do than stay inside with a good book, blast my little A/C because I live in New England and the monsters up here don’t believe in central air conditioning, and get a little drunk in the privacy of my own home. Cream of the Crop by Alice Clayton and Covers & Cocktails fulfills two of those wishes. Ever since … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Does a Body Good →
Happy March! It’s supposed to be spring in Boston, but winter is still holding on as long as possible. I’m sick of being a human sausage casing and just want to wear dresses without tights! But another month means another cocktail, and I’ve been talking about this book all over the place. I know I’ve mentioned it on a recent podcast with the rest of ladies and in this month’s Hide Your Wallet post. I’m … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: The Jane Steele →
It’s February! And honestly, that has very little bearing on this tasty drink I’m about to make, aside from the fact that if I make a mint julep at noon on a Wednesday, I’ll forget about the fact that 2016 is already going by way too quickly for my comfort. It also means I’m one month closer to some family holiday and my Italian mother laying on the guilt that she doesn’t have grandchildren yet. … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Off to the Races →
