Join us at Riley’s Bar + Burger 100 E Montana on December 12 to discuss The Song of Achilles. Afterwards, all are invited to join in our annual Jolabokaflod celebration! Jolabokaflod is an Icelandic tradition in which families exchange books on December 24 and then spend the night reading together.
Want to participate? Here's the lowdown:
📖 Pick a beloved book you want to share with others. It can be a new copy or used!
🎁 Wrap it up! The title of the book is a secret!
🍺 Meditate on the title, theme, genre, plot, mood.... whatever! of your book, then select and buy a BEER which in some way represents your book. Think of it as a hint to your fellow book club members of what might be inside your wrapped gift. This can be an individual can or bottle of beer!
🎅🏻 Come to Rileys on December 11 with your WRAPPED book and UNWRAPPED beer! Then get excited to pick out your beer and mystery book when we do our gift exchange!
Here's an example:
I recently read The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren. It's a kind of 🥵 and 🌶️ romance which takes place in a 🏝️ location. Definitely a light read for folks who don't mind a little steam in their novels.
I could pair this book with "Sweet Heat" from Burnside Brewing, a beer made with apricots and scotch bonnet peppers to symbolize the spicy romance.
I could also pair this book with "Cabana Pils" by Suarez Brewing to highlight the book's setting as well as where one might like to read it.
Get it? Your turn!
