Enjoyed this one. He bounces around a little because he‘s got a lot to say, but it‘s a cool view of history from an angle we don‘t often think about - and it has a drinks list!

I bought a copy for my dad for his birthday, so I await a telling off from my mum because he‘s been booze shopping 😂

This book is taking me a while not because it‘s difficult to read, but because of all the info.

Haven‘t updated recently, but I‘ve been reading this for the past few days. I bought it at the author‘s talk at the #crossingthetees literary fest.

WildQuibble Weird, I just pulled this off my tbr shelf and started reading it earlier 😄 I got it back in June/July when the author did a talk at our local book festival. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage This sounds fun! As a historical fiction reader, I might enjoy knowing how different the characters‘ booze is from my own. 🍷 5y

Quirky history book full of offbeat trivia. Amazing that gunpowder was mixed with rum to test its proof!
