Words And Whiskey

by Words And Whiskey

We are Words and Whiskey, your new intoxicating weekly book club. This project began during the doldrums of 2020 as a way for Krossland and PJ to explore fiction that his co-host knew he'd enjoy. We also hope it encourages others to join in, follow along, and probably make fun of our opinions too. We also adore the craft of alcohol, and craft alcohol. Alcohol craft?We hope you enjoy stepping into our dark oak library, pouring a snifter of whiskey, and listening to us have a chat.
