Lit Libations
Join us, Kylie and Cori, as we mix ourselves a drink, and do a medium dive into a variety of books! We don’t limit ourselves to any specific genre, and instead choose books based on popularity, personal favorites, and listener suggestions! Each book we cover will be split into 2 episodes, and for each episode, we recap the plot, with ample commentary and discussion. So it’s easy to follow along even if you’ve never read the book! To add to the fun, each episode we’ll be making a drink inspired by the half of the book that we’re reading! So happy listening, happy reading, and we hope you enjoy!

This week we are reading House of Flame and Shadow Pt. 2, chapters 29 - 55! This part isn't as jam packed as last week but it is still incredibly entertaining.

It is quite interesting because there were a couple inconsistencies we were not afraid to point out.

Hello Lit Libation Nation!
We are starting House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Mass! The prologue had us confused and admittedly intrigued! When we return to our medium-favorite power couple, Bryce and Hunt, everything but their sex lives has changed. Is that annoying?…yes. Do we overlook it?...no, no we don't. And do they ever beat the heat?...definitely not. LOL Join us to hear all of our thoughts on Lunathians craziest friend ...
