February feels like the month of connection, cozy moments, and a little extra love — for friends, for family, and for yourself. With Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to slow down, celebrate the people who matter, and dive into a story that keeps you turning the pages.
Our website is officially live! 🎉✨ This new space is designed for everything that makes Boozy Books special — monthly reads, drink pairings, community highlights, and a hub for all the conversations, laughter, and connections that happen in our chat groups.
Plus… we’re planning something for our members, so keep your eyes peeled — you won’t want to miss it! 👀💛
This Month’s Read: The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden
For February, we’ve chosen The Boyfriend — a twisty psychological thriller that peels back the shiny façade of modern romance and asks a chilling question: Can you ever really know someone you love?
At the centre of the story is Sydney Shaw, a woman fed up with online dating and ready to believe in love again. When she meets a seemingly charming and handsome man, it feels like destiny — until unsettling events and mysterious murders start to blur the line between perfect boyfriend and dangerous stranger.
This book blends:
- Suspenseful psychological twists that keep you guessing until the end
- Modern dating themes that feel all too real
- Exploration of trust, perception, and deception in relationships
It’s gripping, fast-paced, and perfect for book lovers who enjoy a darker, edge-of-your-seat read — especially in a month all about relationships.
Drink of the Month: Dark & Stormy 🍹
To pair with February’s thrilling read, we’re serving up something bold, classic, and full of flavour — the Dark & Stormy.
Recipe:
- 50 ml Dark Rum
- 100 ml Ginger Beer
- 15 ml Fresh Lime Juice
Garnish: Lime slice 🍈
With zingy ginger and smooth rum, this cocktail is both refreshing and sophisticated — perfect for sipping as you unravel each twist in The Boyfriend. Easy to make at home and ideal for cosy nights in your favourite reading nook.
And of course, don’t forget to tag us in your book & drink pairings (@boozybooks.co) — we love seeing your setups! 🥂
A Note from Our Founder 💌
Every February, my heart feels especially full — not just because of Galentine’s Day, but because of the way this community has grown into something deeply supportive, creative, and beautiful.
When I started Boozy Books, I hoped it would become a place where women could connect over stories and glasses raised in laughter. But watching friendships blossom, seeing supportive conversations in chat groups, and witnessing you all show up for each other… that’s been more meaningful than I ever could have imagined.
This month, especially, reminds me of why we do this. Whether you’re spending Galentine’s with pals, your book group, or on a quiet evening alone with a great read and a Dark & Stormy in hand, I hope you feel surrounded by warmth, connection, and appreciation.
Here’s to you — and to the joy of shared stories that bring us closer. 💛
With love,
Jade Louise, Founder of Boozy Books
Love, Self‑Care & Little Things That Matter 💕
February can be a whirlwind of heart eyes and expectations, but we think the best part of this month is celebrating love of every kind — especially self-love.
Here are a few ways to make this month feel extra lovely:
- Buy yourself flowers — just because 🌸
- Light a candle in your reading nook and settle in with your book 🕯️
- Treat yourself to a favourite bottle of wine (or cocktail ingredients!) 🍷
- Plan a Galentine’s get-together with your bookish besties 💖
- Treat yourself to a new book and discover a new love 💌
Whether you’re celebrating with someone special, with friends, or by yourself, February is the perfect time to honour connection, kindness, and joy in whatever form it takes.
