Where books and booze mix perfectly. Grab your glass and settle down with Jared and Sarah for Mixin' Drinks N' Slurrin' Stories! We became acquainted and eventually fell in love discussing our favorite authors, and now we are sharing the conversation with you. We are cracking open a new book or story (and a new bottle!) every episode to read, review, analyze, and often ramble about the literary arts. Join us for our, sometimes, thoughtful book talk that doesn't take itself too seriously—just two literary lovers having a drink and enjoying a good read.
