We are Words and Whiskey, your new intoxicating weekly book club! We started this as a project to encourage PJ to read more (he hadn't seriously committed to a book since high school), and deepen Krossland's understanding of why he loves fiction in the first place. We also hope it encourages others to join in, follow along, and probably make fun of our opinions too. We also love to drink, make cocktails, and brew our own beer; this happens to be an excellent place to talk about alcohol.
