Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (1982)

This month, we’re revisiting the book that basically built Beth’s personality and set the bar for her entire aesthetic. Join us as we read Let’s Go All Around the Neighborhood by Patricia "Patty" Thomas, a sweet, breezy little story about a day of city errand-running that somehow manages to hold an entire childhood inside its pages.What starts as a simple stroll through the neighborhood turns into a full nostalgia deep dive as we swap stories about playground antics, library obsessions, corner stores, and the unintentional comedy that only kids can deliver.To round it all out, we’re sipping on a Neighborhood Stroll…classic, balanced, and just tart enough to keep things interesting. Come wander the block with us.Mentions: Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (1982)Let’s Go All Around The Neighborhood (Online Edition)Uncle Nearest Premium WhiskeySwingin' (John Anderson song)Mychal the LibrarianNeighborhood Stroll2 oz whiskey1 oz lemon juice¾ oz Crème de cassisShake, pour over ice in a highball glassFill the rest of the way with ginger ale_____________Monthly book reports featuring your favorite childhood and YA classics with an added bonus of delicious cocktails and snarky commentary.Hosted by Beth + SamMusic by The Finley Ghost_____________Connect with the Boozy Book Reports CrewTikTok: @boozybookreportsInstagram: @boozybookreport______________boozybookreports@gmail.comboozybookreports.com
