XOXO, A Cocktail Book: An Unofficial Gossip Girl Fan Book

Review: XOXO : A Cocktail Book -An Unofficial Gossip Girl Fan Book - Bridget Thoreson - May 2020


Wanting to host a ladies’ night? A fun Cocktail Party for the girls? Titled with the famous catchphrase XOXO, is this amazing cocktail book based on the hit TV show and book series Gossip Girl. As soon as I saw this, I had to check it out as I was a fan of Gossip Girl from about the age of 15-16 years when I first discovered the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, and then later I was hooked when it came to life on the screen featuring Blake Lively as our beautiful Serena and Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf.  This series had us watching religiously all the dramas that unfolded on the Upper East Side of New York and then trying to figure out who our XOXO - Gossip Girl was - who loved to air the drama online and out in the world. Author Bridget Thoreson has compiled a list of favorite drinks inspired by the show. At the front of the book to it talks about the appropriate glassware for each drink from Cocktail Glasses to Highballs and Irish Coffee Glasses. Then it moves on to a list of appropriate drinks for all occasions and remember this is the Upper East Side and the world of rich and wealthy, so it's normal to drink Tequila and flavored Vodka during their high school sleepovers, and then it moves on to events like Charity Gala balls, Masquerades and then Liqueurs and Mixers. Some of the drinks include Hamptons White Party aka White Lady Cocktail to a Dirty Scandal aka Duke's Martini and the Dorm Party Sake-tini aka Sake-tini. 

This is the perfect guide for all fans of the Gossip Girl Fandom and those wanting to brush up on their skills of perfecting the perfect drink and skills needed to be a bartender.  This Christmas, why not check out this book and have a Cocktail party for your end of year drinks, a great way to finish off 2020.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
