The Reading Lounge

Lifelong friends and readers, Sarah and Cynthia, discuss great books you may have missed while enjoying a cocktail that aligns with the book of choice. With thousands of books published each year, it is difficult to uncover the hidden gems. We will help you decide what to add to your TBR list, while suggesting a new cocktail you just might enjoy, too. Join us in The Reading Lounge!
