We share some books we've read, some books we hope to read, and the drinks that pop into our minds (sometimes spontaneously, and sometimes after a bit of Googling).After you listen, head over to social media to let us know what you think of our recommendations and what you'd recommend!

(Or at least an effort.)What was on your TBR list for 2019? How are you doing? We'd love to hear about your successes and failures, the books you've loved and the ones that have disappointed you, over on social media.
