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.
Prosecco N Prose | A Book Club
Looking For Alaska by John Green
Wendy and Amy wrap up the banned book season with John Green's young adult fiction, Looking for Alaska. We talk about structure, last words, book covers, and more. Pop a cork to the bonds of teen friendship!
Ingredients for Today's Spiced Pear Prosecco Cocktail:
1 tbsp. super fine sugar, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp. ginger syrup, equal quantities of pear juice and Prosecco to fill the glass, slice of stem ginger, to garnish.
Dip the rim of a champagne flue into water and then dip into a dish of superfine sugar mixed with ground cinnamon. Add the ginger syrup and top with both the pear juice and Prosecco. Garnish with the slice of stem ginger.
