Episode 31: Uglies Pt. 1

Hello Fellow Rusties,
 
We are reviewing the iconic Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld! We are reading through chapter 25, “work” for this episode!  
Our story takes place 300 years in the future, following the story of a young girl, Tally Youngblood, who comes to realize her world is not what it seems. This book has danger, it has intrigue, it has romance, it has pretties and it has uglies. Tune it to see what we think of this wildly popular series!
 
This week we are drinking a White Orchid, inspired by the field of white tiger orchids Tally travels through in the first half of this book. This drink is made with a ginger liqueur, lime juice, white cranberry juice, and vodka!

Episode 30: Bridgerton: On The Way To The Wedding Pt. 2

Dearest Gentle Listener,
 
Congratulations! If you are here, that means you have made it through the entire Bridgerton series! Let me just say it has been a whirlwind of emotions. We have laughed, we have cried, we have hated Julia Quinn, and we have loved Julia Quinn. This episode is fitting for the end of this era. It's chaotic and unhinged, just like Gregory Bridgerton. Listen along and let us know all of your thoughts on the entire Bridgerton Family!
 
P.S. Violet is amazing!!
 
This week we are trying two different drinks. The mom water we got in the flavor pineapple and orange, also called nancy. NÜTRL we got in the flavor of watermelon!

Episode 29: Bridgerton: On The Way To The Wedding Pt. 1

Dearest Gentle Listener,
 
We are closing out our Bridgerton era with Gregory’s story: On The Way to the Wedding by Julia Quinn, we are reading through chapter 13! This is the most divided we as co-hosts have been on a book so far. The story itself is unhinged and wonderfully chaotic. However, we cannot agree on whether we find Gregory’s journey to finding love romantic or off-putting. Listen along and let us know what you think!
 
This week we decided it was time for a weed gummy to make a special appearance. Just like Gregory’s story this episode is unhinged and wonderfully chaotic.

Episode 28: Bridgerton: It's In His Kiss Pt. 2

Dearest Gentle Listener,
 
If you are listening you have made it to part 2 of Hyacinths book. The conclusion to this book is one of our favorites. It's fun, it's flirty, and it's above all else ROMANTIC! So please tune in, at the very least to see if those bloody jewels were ever found. 😜
 
This week we are drinking a lemon drop martini, inspired by our heroine, Hyacinth Bridgerton! This drink is made with vodka, lemons, sugar, simple syrup, and and triple sec!

Episode 27: Bridgerton: It's In His Kiss Pt. 1

Dearest Gentle Listener,
We are 6 books down with 2 to go! It's In His Kiss by Julia Quinn, we are reading through chapter 11! Now let’s talk about Hyacinth. She’s witty, smart, feisty, and opinionated. Will this last Bridgerton daughter find a man to match her freak? Tune in to this week's episode to see what we think of this book's leading man, and whether he suits the ever so unique Hyacinth Bridgerton!
 
This week we are drinking The Finnish Long Drink! This was a surprise purchase we made over the weekend. We were drawn in by their marketing and sold by the taste!

Welcome to the second half of Francesca’s story! At this point you probably know the drill! On this podcast we will be laughing, we will also be…giggling lol. This story has a very satisfying end so please tune in if you’d like to brighten your day!

Episode 25: Bridgerton: When He Was Wicked Pt. 1

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of death and miscarriages.
Dearest Gentle Listener,
We are on to a heavier journey in Francesca Bridgerton’s story: When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn, chapters 1-11.
This book is by far our favorite of the series. It is well written, engaging, emotional, and the men are top tier! If you are like us, you will laugh reading this book and you will cry. Tune in to see how we process this beautiful love story. 
This week we are not under any of the influences. This was filmed the Sunday after the Fourth of July and alcohol was simply not a possibility.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of depression and suicide.
 
Dearest Gentle Listener,
We are entering part 2 of Eloise’s journey: To Sir Phillip, With Love by Julia Quinn and boy does Phillip get even more…[insert big word here.] This book wasn’t satisfying for us but there was an ending. So join us to see this story through! 
FOR ELOISE!!
This week we are drinking “Eloise’s Enigma Potion” inspired by this book's leading lady! This drink is made with vodka, cranberry juice, lime, soda water, and simple syrup!

Episode 23: Bridgerton: To Sir Phillip, With Love Pt. 1

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of depression, suicide, and sexual assault. 
Dearest Gentle Listener,
It is time to move on from our beloved power couple, Colin and Penelope. I do urge you to proceed with caution as this next adventure is a most unsatisfying one indeed.
We indeed are talking about To Sir Phillip, With Love by Julia Quinn, through chapter 10! We do of course love the 5th Bridgerton child, one Eloise Bridgerton. However, it can be said by these podcasters, that her chosen husband may not be one that best suits the brilliant character we have come to enjoy. Tune in to this episode and let us know if you would agree!
This week we are drinking two excellent brands of Rosé that we received at our local Kroger. The brands that we chose are Dark Horse-Rosé Bubbles and Provisions Rosé-Bubbles.

Episode 22: Bridgerton: Romancing Mr. Bridgerton Pt. 2

Dearest Gentle Listener,
We are finishing up with the love story of Colin and Penelope in Romancing Mr. Bridgerton by Julia Quinn! Boy, do things get interesting when the woman who would have peaked in high school (had high school been a thing in 1824) thinks she can blackmail the newest Bridgerton bride! Tune in to see how the new couple handles these trials and tribulations. 
We promise you this episode will be far more entertaining than the second part of Bridgerton season 3.  
This week we are drinking “Champagne Toast” inspired by the toast that Colin gives to the ton, announcing that Penelope is Lady W! This drink is made with champagne and strawberry sorbet!
