*SPECIAL EPISODE: RWR BOOK CLUB* This week, we read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah This novel follows two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. It shows the side of the war that is seldom seen: the women's war.  Sierra Marshall, love story aficionado and two other very special guests: Claire (our RWR Book Club fearless founder) and Marlee (the one who seems to mic drop in every episode she appears in). In this episode we cover:  The powerful writing that is Kristin Hannah - and why I am very much obsessed with her. Why the ending frustrated most of us and what we wanted to see instead.  How the strength of women continues to amaze us.  Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you climbing a mountain in order to read this book (not really, but we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did).  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK: French 75, Espresso Martini, Irish Coffee   TV SHOW - Wynonna Earp, The Handmaid's Tale, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Bluey, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders BOOK - The Diamond Eye, Night Witches, The Book Thief, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society MOVIE - Harriet, The Book Thief ***  Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book. We look forward to hearing from you!    * 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.

This week the gang reads historical fiction. Alisa and Aileen are old pros at this sub-genre while Josie and Lauren are more like dabblers. Ironically, almost all of the picks were in the WW2 category while Josie was the odd duck who traveled back to medieval Europe.Aileen read Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. She's been trying for years to read this book but every time she picked it up, she'd put it back down after asking herself, “do I really want to read about a leper colony?” Well, she finally read it and she's so glad she did. It was uplifting and inspiring and not at all the bummer she imagined it be at the outset. Thanks to her friend Pam for suggesting it!It took Lauren a moment to spit out the title, but The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Schaffer was a huge hit for her. This book took her a beat to get into but once she did, she never wanted it to end. Set during the German occupation of Guernsey during WW2, this epistolary-style book was a great yarn. As always, Lauren doesn't suggest books unless she loves the characters, and this book she highly recommends.Alisa found a real gem in The Only Woman in the Room by Heather Terrel. Set mostly during WW2 as well, this story is about Hettie Lamar's life, loves and her inventions. The gang was just floored to learn about this multi-faceted, self-taught woman whose mind was even more stunning than her famous face. There were some real mind blowers in this one, and the gang was just spellbound by Alisa's description.Josie went to the way-way back with Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. It was murderous monks galore in this runaway bestselling book that was not only inspired by a medieval manuscript, it's also about one, hidden deep within a library that also a labyrinth. There are so many twists and turns, both metaphorically and in the plot, it will have your head spinning. But don't let the Latin freak you out. This is a real page turner as well as being a meditation on one of the biggest theological debates in Catholicism. Josie loved it.

Welcome to OTTplay Lost and Found , one podcast that gives you all the info on lesser-known but critically acclaimed films. I'm your host Nikhil.Today's episode is all about The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This Mike Newell directorial is set in the idyllic English town of Guernsey, in the final years of World War II and the consequent few years. During the German occupation of Guernsey, the inhabitants of the town were stripped off their daily professions and forced to take up livelihoods dictated by the SS army. Hence pig farmers were now forced to cultivate potatoes in their fields. In such dire circumstances, food was scarce and entertainment nil. That is when a few from the town decided to hold a covert dinner of roasted pig (the single animal which was hidden from the watchful eyes of the Germans). Hence Dawsey Adams, Amelia Maugery, Isola Pribbey, Eben Ramsey, along with Elizabeth (whose idea it was to hold the dinner) get together and have a wonderful night of laughter and memories. On   their way back home, they are intercepted by soldiers, who enquire about their whereabouts. They quickly string up these unlikely words (mostly based on the dishes served during the potluck dinner) and claim they are part of a reading club. They soon get registered and hold forced meetings with a German soldier presiding over them. But soon, they bond on literature, Charles Lamb becoming a favorite. Once the War is over, Dawsey reaches out to the author Juliet Ashton, who writes under the pen-name of Izzy Bickerstaff, as Juliet's book on Lamb's essays was the copy that the group lay their hands on. Juliet, who lost her parents in the war, now disguises as Izzy, a free-spirited rebel least affected by the war. Her books are popular and sell well. Yet, Juliet feels hollow inside. With Dawsey's letter, she sees a new ray of hope and decides to make the journey to Guernsey and discover the goings-on of this unique society. The film unravels the story of two unlikely people falling in love despite their circumstances, all stitched beautifully by their mutual adoration for literature. So, if you've ever been moved by a lilting song, an evocative prose or a compelling poem, this film is the perfect fit for you. If you haven't watched this yet then do so, it's streaming exclusively on Netflix.Well that's the OTTplay Lost and Found episode for today , I shall be back soon with a new podcast until then it's your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho

It's an interesting time to be in Melbourne right now, for me the current vibe is quite different from the first lockdown. Then there was an almost frenetic energy about needing to isolate. Now, at least what I am feeling, is a bit more of a malaise, you know? That general feeling of discomfort, unease and it's also a little bit heavy, like there's a weighted blanket on you and staying in bed is just the best you can do right now. And that's okay if so. I really struggle to read books in times like these. Where I would normally read a few books a week, right now I'm lucky to get through one. And trying to read a new book, even one I am super interested in, is quite tough. There are days I manage it, and there are days when I reach for my comfort reads. So today I wanted to share these with you, these favourite comforting, gentle and sometimes not so gentle reads and perhaps they can help you get some reading in too. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Schaffer is a favourite which I paired with a delicious La Sirene wild ale - the Praline - in episode 2. In episode 9 whilst chatting with the lovely Australian speculative fiction writer Samantha Marshall I recommended The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and paired it with a delicious warming coconut turmeric latte. I spoke about I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith in episode 12 with the lovely librarian and youth advocate Adele Walsh and paired a wholesome chicken soup or chamomile tea with it for a warm and relaxing reading experience. To Ride Pegasus (#1 in the Talents Saga) by Anne McCaffrey is the first in a series which I love to re-read all 8 books of when times are a little bit more difficult. Futuristic yet Old Fashioned I paired this with a warming Cocoa Old-Fashioned cocktail. The Elenium and The Tamuli series by David Eddings. Knights on quests, Gods and magic, handsome men and strong women. Read with an Imperial IPA for a hearty, warming time! American Hippo by Sarah Gailey. 1890s Louisiana, with hippos. Feral hippos. Hippo ranchers and outlaw hippo wranglers. Queer misfits on a quest. Paired with a Tequila Honeysuckle for a lip-smacking lime and alcohol hit. The Babysitters Club on Netflix - fresh take on a classic, light and lovely, diverse and fun! Made me want a spider (ice cream soda) for the first time in years!

Binge Or Cringe is about The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society & Mowgli on Netflix. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a quiet film, beautifully done, with faces you'll recognize. It's all about how a book and the need for community helped people through WW II. Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, directed by Andy Serkis, is a lush telling of the Rudyard Kipling tale with voices supplied by Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, and young teen actor Rohan Chand. It's extremely well done but for some, the biggest complaint is that, due to the way it was filmed, the main animal characters' faces seemed to be "too human." Rock 93.7
