We’re three moms who love to read and will take any excuse to have a fabulous cocktail!
Welcome to Your New Favorite Book & Cocktail Podcast
Ever wish your book club had better cocktails, fewer rules, and a lot more laughs? You’ve found it. Literature on the Rocks is a weekly book review and book club podcast that pairs page-turning fiction with handcrafted cocktails… because every good story deserves a great drink.
Hosted by Sunny, Rachel, and Rox, three fiction-loving moms with strong opinions, questionable language, and zero chill when it comes to characters we love (or hate). Whether you're a die-hard romantasy reader, a thriller junkie, or just here for the drinks, you're in the right place.
Join us every episode for smart conversations, playful debates, and some boozy fun. Come for the books, stay for the drinks. Cheers!
The Literature on the Rocks Experience
Book Reviews, Cocktails, and Unfiltered Opinions
Each of the books we read gets two episodes, and here is how we break it down:
Book Summary & Spoiler Filled Review
We recap the book from start to finish with spoilers, sass, and no literary stone unturned. Whether it’s a romantasy with a morally gray love interest or a twisty thriller that had us gasping into our drinks—we're spilling it all. We wrap it up with our signature rating scale:
🥃 One Shot – We’re not going back for seconds
🥃🥃 Two Shots – Good, but not worth a hangover
🥃🥃🥃 Three Shots – It got us f*cked up (emotionally, mentally, and in the best way)
Oh, and each episode features a custom cocktail recipe inspired by the book’s vibe, characters, or themes. You’ll laugh. You’ll maybe cry. You’ll definitely want a drink.
Book Club Discussion
This is where we let loose. We dive into book prompts, read listener comments, argue over character choices, and explore the deeper themes (yes, even in the smutty ones). Think of it as your favorite chaotic book club, just with great cocktails and less pressure to show up with clean hair.
Meet the Hosts
Sunny
Fiction Junkie, Social Media Sorceress. Fruity Martini Fan.
Sunny is a marketing maven, mom to one boy, and the podcast’s social media guru. She’s a fan of romantasy and loves a thriller with a good twist, but draws the line at anything too gory. If she’s reading, you’ll find her with a fancy fruity martini in hand, another thing she loves with a good twist—sweet but with a kick, just like her style.
Rachel
Speed Reader. Romantasy Queen. Margarita Loyalist
Rachel is the speed-reading queen and mother of two girls. She loves a margarita that makes her shimmy, especially while diving into her favorite genre, Romantasy. While her heart is in the swoon-worthy stories, she’s always down to tackle a dark and twisted tale to keep her co-hosts happy.
Rox
Thriller Lover. Old Fashion Guzzler. Halloween Forever.
Rox is the group’s lovable antagonist with a big heart and an even bigger love for all things spooky. A new mom and self-proclaimed scare enthusiast, she’s obsessed with thrillers, suspense, and Halloween vibes. She enjoys sipping on either a bold Old Fashioned or a zesty margarita—because why choose when you can have both?
