Prosecco N Prose | A Book Club
Prosecco N Prose is a monthly virtual book club where literary analysis meets liquid courage. Former English teachers Wendy and Amy sip Prosecco (or something of the like), spill opinions, and gleefully overanalyze the books you love (and love to hate). Expect deep dives, hot takes, tangents, and a healthy disregard for “assigned reading rules.” We talk books, book clubs, and whatever else pops up in the glass. Requests encouraged. Judgement not included.

Short Stories of William Faulkner
Wendy and Amy are going all classic with two short stories by William Faulkner, "Landing in Luck" and "That Evening Sun Go Down," paired with a classic-inspired jello shot, The French 75. They've got Fun Faulkner Facts, talk evolution of an author's style, two different takes on class conflict, and comedic, but tragic endings. Pop a cork to landing in classics!
