Mini Episode: Would You Rather?

Would you rather never be able to buy a new book again, or have to read your least favorite genre for a whole year? 😱 This week on Wine and Spines, we are abandoning our TBR piles to play a hilarious game of Bookish Would You Rather. We’re asking the questions that keep bookworms up at night. Pour a heavy glass, because these choices were harder than we thought. Tune in for the book banter and stay for the laughs!

14: The House We Grew Up In

This week on Wine and Spines, we are stepping carefully through the piles of the past to discuss Lisa Jewell’s gripping domestic drama, The House We Grew Up In. We are diving deep into the lives of the Bird family—enchanting and bohemian on the outside, but hiding a chaotic reality behind closed doors. We’ll be breaking down the "perfect family" facade, dissecting the heartbreaking Easter tragedy that shattered their lives, and debating the psychology behind Lorelei’s hoarding—which honestly made us want to deep clean our own houses immediately. Grab a heavy pour of your favorite wine (you’ll need it for this emotional rollercoaster) and tune in as we decide if you can ever truly escape the house you grew up in.

13: The NEXT Mrs. Parrish

Get ready because we are diving deep into the twisted world of Liv Constantine's The Next Mrs. Parrish! Just when we thought the drama was over, Amber Patterson Parrish is back on top—or is she? With her husband Jackson about to be released from prison and a vengeful ghost from her past stirring up trouble, her perfect socialite life is about to crack like a cheap wine glass. Meanwhile, the original Mrs. Parrish, Daphne, is reluctantly dragged back into the Bishops Harbor vortex. Pour yourself a glass of champagne, after all revenge is a dish best served with chardonnay 😉 and tune in—this episode is absolutely bursting with shocking turns and jaw-dropping discussions you won't want to miss!

12: Outfox

This week, we're uncorking a story that's full of spins, detective work, and even some lies! We're diving into Sandra Brown’s riveting mystery, Outfox! For this book, we chose Le Natural Zero Zero. Our first NA wine! We could not tell that it was NA as it still held the same flavors and intensity of regular wine. Much like this book, this wine is not as it seems!

11: The Thursday Murder Club

This week, we're uncorking a story that's full of charm, hilarious banter, and some truly clever detective work. We're diving into Richard Osman’s riveting murder mystery, The Thursday Murder Club! For this book, we chose 2019 Apothic Red Wine. It has notes of dark berries, hints of mocha, and a touch of spice. It’s a great glass for gathering with a group of friends which is perfect for our novel.
