Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK: Frankenstein Punch, Blackberry Margarita, One Tree Hard Cider: Caramel Cinnamon TV SHOW - The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, Sabrina the Teenage Witch BOOK - Beach Read, The Kiss Curse, Matilda MOVIE - Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, The School of Good And Evil, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Bewitched, Halloweentown *** 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.
