Will Read for Booze is hosting its inaugural #Booziebookathon on July 22nd! See our announcement post HERE for details and such.
Here are the challenges, and my TBR.
- Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples
This is a graphic novel that I've only heard good things about. Straight up, the people at my comic book shop (because of course I have one, and I take full ownership of it) rave about this book. It's one of the ones that they suggest to pretty much everyone (of a certain age, I believe there's a 'graphic' nature though I haven't read it yet so I'm not sure)
Challenges met: Wine and Tequila (interest mix, that) - Apprentice Witch by James Nicol
Sam literally just read this and absolutely loved it. Basically she was the one who suggested that I read this, and I definitely trust her opinion at this point in time. It sounds like the main character is a witch who hasn't done so well on her tests and ends up going on an adventure because of it.
See her review here
Challenges met: Smirnoff Ice and Absinthe - Looking for Group by Rory Harrison
This is yet another book that I got from Sam (anyone noticing a trend here). She got this in a box and it sounds like it could be up my alley. A contemporary novel about a kid with cancer who appears to be in remission. He plays a lot of World of Warcraft, and has a crush on the girl he meets there. Also apparently there might be a boat involved.
Challenges met: Beer and Rum -
This is the second book in this series. I read the first book at some point last year and it was a genuinely fun read. I honestly don't know too much about the sequel, but I figured now would be a great time to give it a chance.

Challenges met: Rum (you know, in case Looking for Group doesn't quite cover it) - Satellite by Nick Lake
Ahhhh one of the books we received at bookcon. It's always nice to start to work through these. A kid has been raised on a satellite orbiting the earth. For whatever reason they end up on earth and are going to have to try to survive.
(Editor's Note: We will be hosting a giveaway for this book! Follow us on Twitter @willread4booze for more details the day of!)
Challenges met: Vodka
Happy Drinking,
Ginny
