Join us next week as we discuss How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days by K.M. Jackson.

For next week’s drink, pour yourself a glass of red wine! Keanu’s favorite drink is red wine - specifically Australian wines such as the 1971 Penfolds Grange Shiraz and the 1990 Mount Mary Vineyard Quintet Cabernet Blend - but since these can run you a few thousands dollars a bottle, we recommend your red wine of choice!
