This month we will be discussing “Kindred” by: Octavia Butler 📖

Synopsis:

Selected by The Atlantic as one of THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS. ("You have to read them.") From the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and MacArthur “Genius” Grant, Nebula, and Hugo award winner. The visionary time-travel classic whose Black female hero is pulled through time to face the horrors of American slavery and explores the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. “I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.” Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present.

Not sure what a botanical, adaptogen or nootropic zero proof beverage is?
Keep reading...

🍹 A botanical zero-proof drink is a non-alcoholic beverage crafted using extracts, distillates, or infusions of plants, herbs, flowers, and spices. These drinks are designed to highlight natural flavors and aromas, often mimicking the complexity of alcoholic spirits without the alcohol content.

Key Features:

• Flavor Profile: Layered, aromatic, and herbaceous, often with floral, earthy, or citrus notes.
• Ingredients: Typically includes botanicals like juniper, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and citrus peels.
• Purpose: Provides a sophisticated drinking experience with the sensory appeal of traditional spirits but supports a healthier, alcohol-free lifestyle.

🍹 An adaptogen zero-proof drink is a non-alcoholic beverage infused with adaptogenic herbs and plants known to help the body resist and adapt to stress, improve balance, and promote overall well-being. Adaptogens are natural substances that support the body’s ability to handle physical, mental, and emotional stressors.

Key Features:

• Functionality: Aims to restore balance (homeostasis) in the body, reduce fatigue, and enhance resilience to stress.
• Ingredients: Often includes adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, ginseng, and reishi mushrooms.
• Flavor Profile: Earthy, slightly bitter, or herbal, sometimes softened with fruit, honey, or floral infusions.
• Purpose: Provides relaxation, focus, or energy without alcohol, offering a mindful and health-supportive alternative to traditional drinks.

🍹 A nootropic zero-proof drink is a non-alcoholic beverage formulated with nootropic ingredients – substances that are known to enhance cognitive function, improve mental clarity, boost memory, and support overall brain health. Nootropics are often referred to as "smart drugs" or brain boosters, but in the zero-proof space, they come in natural, plant-based, or synthesized forms.

Key Features:

• Functionality: Designed to enhance focus, creativity, energy, and mental performance while reducing brain fog and fatigue.
• Ingredients: Common nootropics include L-theanine, lion’s mane mushroom, ginkgo biloba, bacopa, and green tea extract. Some drinks may also feature amino acids and B vitamins.
• Flavor Profile: Can range from earthy and herbal to fruity and refreshing, depending on the nootropic blend and complementary ingredients.
• Purpose: Offers a mindful, alcohol-free alternative that not only refreshes but also provides cognitive benefits, making it ideal for those seeking productivity or relaxation without alcohol.

This month we will be discussing “A Quiet Life” by: Ethan Joella 📖

Synopsis:

Set in a close-knit suburb in the grip of winter, A Quiet Life follows three people grappling with loss and finding a tender wisdom in their grief. Chuck Ayers used to look forward to nothing so much as his annual trip to Hilton Head with his wife, Cat—that yearly taste of relaxation they’d become accustomed to after a lifetime of working and raising two children. Now, just months after Cat’s death, Chuck finds that he can’t let go of her belongings—her favorite towel, the sketchbooks in her desk drawer—as he struggles to pack for a trip he can’t imagine taking without her. Ella Burke delivers morning newspapers and works at a bridal shop to fill her days while she anxiously awaits news—any piece of information—about her missing daughter. Ella adjusts to life in a new apartment and answers every call on her phone, hoping her daughter will reach out. After the sudden death of her father, Kirsten Bonato set aside her veterinary school aspirations, finding comfort in the steady routine of working at an animal shelter. But as time passes, old dreams and new romantic interests begin to surface—and Kirsten finds herself at another crossroads.
