“Sierra is in all pink and I am in all black and it just makes a lot of sense for the episode we're recording.”
This week, we read The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo.
Sierra joins me on this episode to discuss:
How we ended up on two VERY different sides of this book discussion.
Why this book may require a revisit (or two).
Why this cover absolutely SLAPS.
Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that had us finding power in songs and magic in scorpions.

Disclaimer * At Red Wine Reads, we want to engage in the stories of people from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. The value of books lies in the power of storytelling and sharing a range of perspectives. We don't want to just read what we know, we want to read stories that open our worldview. And in turn, that means getting into challenging, rewarding conversations. But we are not experts in any field — literature, race relations, politics, etc .— and we know that our reviews of these books come from a place of privilege. We encourage our community of readers to add to these conversations with their own thoughts, critiques, and questions. We want to open up a safe place for people. That being said, we also realize that getting into race, sexuality, gender, and other difficult topics can be triggering. We aim to include content warnings whenever they are applicable but we are not perfect. So as we continue to do our best, know you have the room to tell us when we can do better and even, if you want to, share resources with us. Let's learn, grow, and have fun together.
