Romance and Rosé! What more can you ask for? This week we discuss The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory, which was the Hello Sunshine x Reese's Book Club pick of the month for February this year. It was fun, funny, and we wouldn't mind a spin off for any of the tertiary characters, or maybe a movie? Yes way, rosé! Sorry that was cheesy, but we had a lot of fun talking about this book and the crazy, over-the-top public proposals you see all of social media these days. So join us, let us know what you ...

Join Taylor and Felice (and Michelle... can we call you Michelle?) for this emotional, motivational and revealing journey: Becoming by Michelle Obama. It was so good and we had so much to talk about that we forgot to mention the Queen... THE QUEEN! But we hope you enjoyed this memoir as much as us or we hope this inspires you to pick it up. It is wonderful to both read and listen to. Enjoy with a glass of red wine and cozy up with your favorite blanket. @dps_podcast drunkpoetssocietypodcast@gmai...

Have you ever wondered what Jesus did before he performed miracles and was written about in the bible? Well the gospel according to Biff, Jesus' childhood best friend really paints a picture! Young Joshua was an average boy, well, except for the fact that he could talk to God and raise people and animals from the dead and could meditate to the point of becoming invisible. Christopher Moore's 'Lamb' is a laugh out loud read that we were stoked to talk about! Email: deadpoetssocietypodcast@gmail.c...

It's our first DPS book club episode! Hooray! Just a quick apology, when we started this podcast, we only had one microphone and the sound quality is.... well... terrible. BUT, we are now very fancy and have TWO microphones, so future episodes will be much better. Hope you enjoyed reading Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore and drinking your Great White Beer!
