Saturdays deserve a little something extra—something that lingers on the tongue and in the mind. This week, we’re pairing books that pack a punch with drinks that carry just as much flavor. Strong stories, strong sips—perfect for when you want to be swept away.
📖 Babel by R.F. Kuang
Sip with: A dark roast cold brew, black and uncompromising.
Dense, layered, and biting, Kuang’s historical fantasy deserves a drink that cuts through and keeps you sharp. Every sip jolts you awake, much like every page of Babel.
📖 Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Sip with: A rich, spiced mulled wine.
Dark academia with a devilish twist calls for something warm, blood-red, and intoxicating. A glass of mulled wine will curl around you like a spell, leaving you both comforted and unsettled.
📖 Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Sip with: A whiskey sour.
Sharp, biting, and just a little messy—this cocktail mirrors the chaotic brilliance of Kuang’s publishing satire. Tart, strong, unforgettable.
📖 Priest by Sierra Simone
Sip with: A sinful chocolate martini.
If you want your Saturday on the scandalous side, Simone delivers. Pair it with a decadent martini that’s as smooth and indulgent as her prose.
📖 The Only One Left by Riley Sager
Sip with: An old-fashioned.
This twisty gothic thriller deserves a drink as classic, moody, and deceptively simple as Sager’s latest. Each sip a puzzle, each page a revelation.
So tell me—what’s in your glass this Saturday? And more importantly, what book are you sinking into while you sip?
