Hi, YouTube, it's Kathy and welcome to what is shaped up to be a very cool collab.
Something I've been doing in my personal life for over three years now is every
Wednesday I sit in my bathtub, and I read a book and I have a beverage. Sometimes
when I do this, I just pick whatever book and whatever beverage are at hand, but
sometimes I like to pair them up, and because of this tendency, I asked some
people in the BookTube community to pair up a book and a beverage, and tell us why.
And I am so delighted that so many people decided to participate in this.
All the links to their channels will be listed down below, and there are so many
books on this list that I now want to read. And, also, I would be lying if I
didn't say I was getting a little bit thirsty watching the footage.
Get your mind out of the gutter, Susan.
So without further ado, here are some books and beverage pairings.
Paige: [sings] Kathy... what did you message me with? So I am terrible at
making decisions, so I picked three books. I only have two drinks, mostly cuz one
goes with one book, and the other goes with the other two, I think. Hi, I'm Paige,
from The Princess and The Scrivener, and I'm the Princess. I'm gonna recommend
We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union, who is one of my favorite celebrities... ever.
This book is her memoir. It's just a series of essays dealing with race, sex,
really tough subjects. It's a really good book, and I'm gonna pair it with pretty
much any kind of wine, but the only kind that I drink is White Zinfandel, because
red wine is so bad. I can't do red wine. Although I do think red wine would go
better with this book, partially because she's drinking red wine on the cover, and
partially because there are red details in the cover itself. So, yeah, definitely
read this and enjoy a glass of wine because you're gonna need it.
So I'm suggesting To All The Boys I Loved Before, which is a super cute book. It's
by Jenny Han, and it is an own voices book about a young Korean girl, or half
Korean girl, in any case, just finding out that she wrote these letters to boys
that she had crushes on when she was younger, and turns out somebody sent them
to the boys. So she's dealing with that. It's a very cute book. I like this one
more than the sequel, so far, and I haven't read the third one in this
series, but I love this book especially. And I'm pairing it with Rekorderlig
Berrry Cider because it's one of my favourite drinks and it's super, like,
flowery, and for lack of a better term berry-ish, and I think it just kind of
pairs as well because they're both really cute.
I am suggesting The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace.
It is a poetry collection that deals
with sexuality, being a woman, pretty much, abuse, some pretty tough issues, as well.
I love this poetry collection so much, uh... being the Princess, you know, big on that.
But it's also in a series that Amanda Lovelace has started. The next one comes
out this year, I just don't remember exactly when. Yeah, Amanda Lovelace is a
really great poet and I am a big fan of this book especially. I got a signed copy
from work because I'm special like that. I'm going to pair this with Rekorderlig.
They kind of have similar colour schemes...
almost, like, opposite colour schemes in a way. Yeah, this is my favourite drink,
and my favourite poetry collection, so that's the main reason why I'm
suggesting them together. I think as far as, like, the flavour of the drink and the
flavor of the book, for lack of a better term,
they're not super similar, but still enjoyable together, because sometimes
opposites do attract.... sometimes.
RJ: Hey folks, I'm RJ Beam from Premeditated Fiction.
The book I want to recommend is called Time's Up by Janey Mack, and the drink that
is best to pair with this would be whiskey, preferably Jameson. Why?
Well, Time's Up is about a young lady by the name of Maisie McGrane.
She comes from a long line of police officers and lawyers and her dad, who is
a high-ranking police officer, sabotages her career forcing her to no longer be a
police officer, but to be a meter maid. And her family this long line of cops
and lawyers they're all old-school Irish cops, and so quite often throughout the
book, you know, or actually the whole trilogy of books, Maisie is known to be
drinking a number of different things, but she always goes back to whiskey.
So I think reading about this young Irish cop and, you know, talking or taking a drink
from whiskey, it's a great pairing to, you know,
pass your time. Hope you enjoyed my recommendation; see you later.
Shelly: Hi, guys. I'm Shelly from Collyofthewobbles and the book I want to recommend to you
is Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. I love this book. It is
a queer book about a young man named Simon who exchanges emails with a guy in his
high school named Blue. Sadly, somebody tries to blackmail Simon because they
find out that he is gay, and they find the emails between him and Blue and it
follows this beautiful, wonderful email relationship that Blue and Simon have,
and it gives me all the feels. And the beverage that I would drink to go this
has to be an Oreo Milkshake. Simon is obsessed with Oreos and I will
read you my favourite part of this book while I make you an Oreo Milkshake.
"Breakfast is obviously an Oreo granola bar or Oreo Pop Tarts. No, they're not
gross. Shut up! They're amazing. Lunch should be an Oreo Pizza an Oreo
Milkshake, and a couple of those Oreo truffles my mum makes. Dinner is a
deep-fried Oreo served on top of Oreo ice cream and for a drink its Oreo
dissolved in milk. No water, only Oreo milk. Dessert can be all Oreos
straight up. Sound reasonable?" I think I just met heaven. Cheers, guys.
Jess: Hi, my name is Jess. I'm from From to You Video, Photography and Book Reviews, and also From
Jess to You Services. I thank Kathy for having me here. I was supposed to come up
with a book and a drink and I had to scratch my head really hard, and I
couldn't think of anything until I looked at my shelves, and all I could
think about was coffee. I have Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen,
and the reason I have this one is because the main character, whose name I
completely forget... it is -ah that's hot! Autumn. She is visiting or staying with her father and
his wife and their new little daughter, down in North Carolina for the summer,
and she is an insomniac, for the most part, and lives on coffee.
She is a coffee addict and I sort of am one too, only I like my sleep.
So basically I just when thinking of a drink, I couldn't come up with him other
than what I do is coffee, and I thought it went up
really well. I liked this one. Autumn and Eli are really good
characters, and I liked how they play off each other.sS if you are okay with a,
kind of, a woman's fiction in a YA genre, contemporary romance type of thing, I say
you should probably at least check this one out.
Angel: Hey, Youtube, my name's Angel. my channel name is XOXO Angel Rose, and I talk about
books and pop culture and my pets and whatever else I want to talk about.
The first book I've chosen is Once and For All by Sarah Dessen, and
this is about a girl, Luna, whose mom is a wedding planner and so she works for the
company. She's not so sure about this love thing because she, maybe, had her one
great love in life and it didn't work out in the end. She meets someone, Ambrose,
who comes to work for her mother's company and he is just happy-go-lucky,
and he is just a fun time, and so they make this bet together so that she can
get out of her comfort zone and date around, and he can commit to one girl.
The drink I have chosen for this book is champagne and I personally love a good
little bottle of Martini & Rossi. I think it's a great champagne. I chose
champagne to pair up with Once and For All because it's a book about starting
over, a fresh start, letting love in your life again, and getting outside your
comfort zone, and I think that is everything that champagne sounds like.
Champagne is a drink that you drink on exciting celebrations, as you drink it at
weddings, to celebrate love, and this lifetime commitment, and I think it's a
really great drink pairing with a beautiful, fun, fluffy, lovey book.
I also picked The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. This is a really cute
chick lit book about two rivals at a publishing company ,and they're both
vying for the same job, and they hate each other, but what do you know? Things
happen and maybe they don't hate each other so much. And it's really cute and
just so fluffy and adorable. And the drink I have chosen for this is a Bay
Breeze, which is a cocktail. Really any cocktail, but my personal favourite is a
Bay Breeze, which is part vodka, part cranberry juice, and part pineapple juice.
And like my first book choice, also, it's just a fun, cute, fluffy, book that gives you
all kinds of feelings. It's chick lit and I
think a cocktail is as chick lit as it can get. I just think it's a really cute,
delicious, juicy, sweet pairing of literature and liquor.
Saajid: So one of my favorite beverages to have is peanut punch, which is a very popular drink here
in the Caribbean. It's thick. It's delicious. It's filling.
Get your mind out of the gutter, Susan.
What I like about it the most is that it's a drink that
really say satiates me, which is a very difficult thing to do given that my
stomach is a bottomless pit. Now if you've been to my channel, you would know that
YA contemporary is one of my favourite genres, but unfortunately as of late I
found that time and time again, a lot of them aren't really enough for me. They're
too short for my liking. They don't - they don't say satiate me.
Like the peanut punch. You understand what I'm sayin'?
But that was definitely not the case with
I'm Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez. This is about
Julia, whose older sister Olga passed away. We're following her as she uncovers
some unsettling truths about her sister, as well as discovering herself in the
process. Now here's the link, right. Peanut Punch is a beverage that blends many
different flavours together to give you, you know, just, like, a really fulfilling
drink, and this book does just that. Here we have a coming-of-age story that deals
heavily with grief and mental health. A story about family, romance, and
friendship. A story that implicitly and explicitly centres issues of race,
socioeconomic status, and immigration within the context of all of this.
Sánchez manages to weave together all of these ideas in a raw and natural way, to
give readers a rich story, full of nuance and honesty. I humbly suggest that you fix
your lives by reading this book, perhaps with a cup of peanut punch to have while you're at it.
Maaretta: Hi, I'm Maaretta. I run a Booktube channel
called Ruby Soup With Pearl Juice and I am on this collab recommend Always Coca-Cola
by Alexander Chreiteh, and I am pairing this up was a beverage called... well it says
Pepsi Max, but it's any kind of Cola brand, really. Coca-Cola, Pepsi Max, Lidl's Cola.
Anything goes really, and this book is about some women's lives in Lebanon
and one of the main characters, due to its magical realist slant, has
an obsession was Coca-Cola and even when she's pregnant she does drinks Coca-Cola
all the time. And I'm also like that. I'm a Coke junkie, so that's why I want to
pair these two up.
Willow: Ow! What's that for?
I think - I think she bit me because I got the title wrong.
She apparently is a big fan of this book.
Hello my book and a beverage recommendation are I Hate Everyone But You by Gaby Dunn and
Allison Raskin, and a Cherry Cola, and my reasoning for, for pairing these two is
because there is a slight mention of drug use in this book and Ava, who is the
straight-laced one in this friendship that the book is about, is very upset
that Jen, her friend, is openly admitting her drug use via email 'cuz she's worried
that the school will read it and find out and suspend Jen for taking drugs.
So she insists that they use a code, which is Cherry Cola, and so that is my
book and beverage recommendation.
Say hi! okay, you're gonna just... okay.
Dana: Hi everyone, I'm Dana Abercrombie and I want to talk to you about this wonderful book,
Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios. And not only do I wanted to talk about this book, but I
think that this goes wonderful with this orange grapefruit and a little bit of honey drink.
Freshly made, by the way. Now let's talk about the book first, so that the drink
makes some sense. The book is very simple; it's about this girl who falls magically,
head-over-heels in love with this guy, and she believes that he is going to be,
as they say, the cat's meow. They're gonna, you know, have this relationship, he's
gonna be loving and kind and caring and always there for her. And then later it
progresses and to" oh I'm gonna get married with this guy and have babies".
Imagine this is all in her head, and her fantasy, when she meets this guy and
everything seems perfect at first, and they do have this attraction and she
really, really does feel something for him deep, down inside. As the relationship
progresses, it becomes very unfortunate that he
ends up being a very abusive guy. I mean mentally and physically. You got a lot of
shoving, a lot of physical matches, and it's just one of those heartbreaking
things, and the book is not just about an abusive relationship, but it's also about
overcoming it and making your fractured self whole again, and realizing that only
you can do that for yourself. No one can make you whole. Not a person. Not an
animal. Not a plant. Not even your favourite food. Only the
love that you have within yourself can truly make you understand how strong and
wonderful and powerful of a human you are, and I think that this book is just
amazingly, mind-blowing in that way. And it's a book that everyone, no matter
their age, should read. Now why this drink? This drink is a grapefruit, blood orange,
with a little bit of honey. Now this is the reason why I figured this would be
in the great pairing. Now honey, as you already know, it's sweet. It gets you in.
Really, you know, at first. Ever heard the phrase "you'll catch more flies with honey"?
It's like the mask that this guy is wearing, because he's not, at first,
gonna meet her and just start beating her and being mean. No, no, no. That's not
how you get into relationships. You're gonna be sweet, at first. Then it
graduates into orange. Orange is not as sweet. Now if you didn't get one that's,
like, really ripe, in the great season, it's gonna be a little bit tart, and
that's how the relationship in this book ends up going. It goes from really sweet
to a little tart. And then the blood orange comes in. Blood oranges are very
very tart. Some might even describe them a little bit as being sour, especially if
you could get them off season, like I actually did by mistake. Mine was a
little a little sour, as well. So when you mix it all together, you have all these
different tastes of sweet with tart and a little sour, which I think matches
perfectly with this book, and this relationship. Thank you and enjoy your reading!
Amara: Hey, Kathy its Amara in Seattle and today I'm here with a book recommendation per
your request. This is Perfume by Patrick Süskind.
Originally was called Das Parfum. He's a german writer. Perfume is a classic and
what's really cool about this, is this is a book I'm recommending to you because
it was recommended to me by a friend I was visiting in Melbourne. She actually
bought me this book, and I read it a little bit on the plane. Now why I'm
recommending this book to you is a couple of things: it's a very interesting
read as someone who writes, because it is so well crafted, and it's so visceral and
so sense oriented. Scent oriented, moreover, because everything about
Perfume is about scents, and it's interesting to see words become concepts
that are recognizable in like nasal passage-y kind of ways. It was a
fascinating read. It was a fast read, and for a classic
it's, like, real digestible. So totally recommend this. Was really glad i read it,
and when I was discussing it with my best friend, he said. "huh, I wonder? Is that
Perfume like the movie?" and there's apparently a movie version of this, also.
It is a kind of a read that pushed me a little bit. Love to stay in genres
that are really comfortable and classics always make me a little like ah... So what
am I recommending you drink while you are in the middle of this murder?
This is tea in a Stormtrooper cup. It's a Teavana Comfort Tea. That means it comes from Starbucks.
It's comforting when you're in the middle of something that is
uncomfortable. Also, because this book is so much about scents and smells, tea is
so much about scent and smell, that I thought it was a good pairing to do tea
and a classic. Also, cause, like, tea and a classic. I also really love that this is
an international book in a lot of ways. It's clever, interesting and one of those
reads that once you've read it, you kind of can reference it forever, so I'm
thankful. It's one of my favourite things about classics: you read them and then
you start to see that they are something referential that you can use, kind of in
life in general. That's my choice, and I put it in the Stormtrooper mug because, also, murder.
Have a good day!
Jenny: I recommend TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of
Practical Cats, paired with the nice glass of milk.
