Eps 12 | A Court of Bargains and TAMpertantrums (ACOWAR pt 2)

Eps 15 | A Court of Silver Flames: Part 1

It's a new year with Pages and Pour Decisions and Nesta Archeron takes center stage and we have thoughts! In Part One of our three-part deep dive into A Court of Silver Flames, we’re unpacking Nesta’s rock bottom, her complicated grief, her rage, and the path the Inner Circle forces her onto (whether she’s ready or not). From trauma and accountability to training, boundaries, and the beginnings of healing, this episode sets the stage for one of the most polarizing books in the ACOTAR universe. We’re pairing this episode with Drama Red Blend, bold, intense, and layered… much like Nesta herself. 🍷 ⚠️ Spoilers ahead for A Court of Silver Flames and the ACOTAR series up through this book. Grab your emotional support wine and your comfort blanket, this one gets real. #PagesAndPourDecisions #BookPodcast #RomantasyPodcast #Booktok #Booktube #BookishPodcast #FantasyBooks #RomantasyBooks #ACOTAR #ACOSF #cassian #redwine #Valkyries

Eps 14 | A Court of Frost and Starlight: Snow, Sparkle, and Solstice Feels

Sam and Ashley are back with the sweetest palate cleanser in the entire ACOTAR universe, A Court of Frost and Starlight. This charming novella delivers full Hallmark Christmas movie energy: snow-dusted streets, gift-giving chaos, cozy court moments, and a much needed emotional reset after the heartbreak and brutality of ACOWAR. In this episode, we soak in the healing, the humor, and the warm fuzzies as the Inner Circle tries to rebuild, reconnect, and remember what joy feels like. It’s a gentle breath before the storm and the perfect setup for the fire and fury waiting in A Court of Silver Flames. We’re pairing tonight’s read with Perelada “Stars” Reserva Brut Nature Cava, bubbly, bright, and celebratory. The kind of sparkling sip that feels like clinking glasses under the Solstice lights. Curl up, pop some bubbles, and join us for the calm before the chaos. #acourtoffrostandstarlight #acotar #sarahjmaas #books #booktok #romantasy #read #podcast #velaris #pagesandpourdecisions

Eps 13 | A Court of Wings and Ruin (Pt 3)

In this explosive installment, Sam and Ashley dive into Part 3 of A Court of Wings and Ruin, where the fragile world of Prythian shatters, quite literally. The Wall has fallen, alliances are fracturing, and every court is bracing for the brutal war barreling toward them. Tensions rise, sacrifices loom, and our favorite characters are forced to decide just how far they’ll go to protect the people, and the futures, they love (have those tissues handy). Grab a glass of Vengeance Red Blend (or your favorite emotional support beverage) as we unpack this final third. It’s rich, it’s bold, and perfectly matches the simmering rage, razor-edge stakes, and looming chaos of these chapters. Get ready: war is here, and nothing will ever be the same. #ACourtofWingsandRuin #acotar #sarahjmaas #books #romantasy #fantasy #wine #pagesandpourdecisions #podcast

Eps 12 | A Court of Bargains and TAMpertantrums (ACOWAR pt 2)

We’re back with Part 2 of Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Wings and Ruin, and the drama just keeps escalating. Between Tamlin’s toddler-level tantrums, bargains that are definitely going to come back and bite someone, and Feyre and Rhys scheming like it’s their full-time job, there’s no shortage of chaos to unpack. And trust us—there’s enough gaslighting here to light up the entire Spring Court. In this episode, we’re laughing, ranting, and occasionally bursting into completely made-up songs as we work through the spiraling mess of politics, temper tantrums, and manipulations. Thankfully, Tattoo Girl Wine is along for the ride, helping us stay (mostly) grounded while we call out the absurdities and dig into the bigger stakes that are only getting wilder from here. So grab your glass, tune in, and prepare for bargains, betrayals, and a few impromptu ballads you definitely didn’t know you needed.

Eps 11 | A Court of Gaslighting and Scheming (ACOWAR pt 1)

The High Lords are circling, secrets are unraveling, and Feyre is playing her most dangerous role yet. In this episode, we dive into the first third of A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas—where manipulation runs deep, trust is tested, and every move feels like a game of chess with deadly stakes. Pour yourself a glass of Secret Squirrel Cabernet (our wine pick of the week) and join us as we break down the scheming, the strategy, and the deliciously unhinged drama of the Night Court’s enemies. Expect our usual mix of book nerdery, laughter, and a little side-eye at some very questionable decisions. Because in this court, nothing is ever as it seems… #pagesandpourdecisions #acowar #acotar #sarahjmaas #maasverse #books #booktok #funny #winelover #feyre #rhysand #fae
