This week on Read Between the Wines, we’re back with a chaotic mashup episode — and honestly… things got out of hand. 

We’re catching up after our break, sharing what we’ve been reading, and doing a full Q1 book review — including our favorite reads, surprises, and a few disappointments. We also check in on the growth of the podcast so far this year and what’s been working behind the scenes.

Then we dive into all the spring and summer book releases we’re excited about, including new books from Abby Jimenez, Navessa Allen, Devney Perry, Meghan Quinn, Sarah A. Parker, and Rachel Schneider — and which ones we might be covering on the podcast.

We also talk about the latest book news, including Rebecca Yarros’ recent Instagram post and why we think she would be an elite Call Her Daddy interview guest 👀🔥

And finally… we introduce our brand new segment: Pour Decisions 🍷 — where we pull book challenges out of a hat and have to commit to them.

Let’s just say… one of us immediately regretted it 😭

If you love romance, romantasy, chaotic book discussions, TBR spirals, and BookTok recommendations, this episode is for you.

Grab a glass and come spiral with us. 🍷
