”He is such a piece of trash and I f**ing love him.” This week, we read The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty. Sierra joins me on this episode to discuss: The exciting premise and flawless execution that this book offers. Why we keep mentioning “naked pirates”. Why the spice level may have been a determining factor in Sierra's final rating. Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you feeling all the aches and pains of being a retired lady pirate. Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK - Naked Pirate TV SHOW - Working Moms, House of the Dragon BOOK - The Book of Longings, Daughter of the Moon Goddess MOVIE - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, 3000 Years of Longing !! WARNING: SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE !! 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.

He now serves as a professor of English at Campbellsville University. His debut novel, The Act of Disappearing, publishes on May 28 with Mira Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. The novel is about a woman named Julia, who her friends call Jules. Julia has been trying to make a name for herself as a fiction writer, but she works at a bar to make ends meet. It is there that she meets a famous older man named Jonathan Aster who gives her a photograph and offers to pay her to tell the story of the woman in the picture: the woman in the photo is jumping off a bridge holding a baby. Julia begins a quest to discover who this woman is and learns about herself in the process. He also talks to us about how terrifying it was to write a book from a female point of view, how the women in his family inspired this story, and the sci-fi book he just read and thoroughly enjoyed even though he doesn't like sci-fi.

Ein ergreifender Überlebenskampf, verstörende 911-Calls und eine emotionale Suche nach einer verschwundenen Mutter. In dieser Folge widmen wir uns einem Fall, der uns beide tief berührt hat. North Port, Florida Als Nate Lee am 17. Januar 2008 von der Arbeit zurückkehrt und feststellt, dass von seiner Frau Denise jede Spur fehlt, ist er sofort alarmiert. Nicht nur, weil die beiden immer in Kontakt stehen und Denise ihm gar nichts von einem spontanen Ausflug berichtet hat, sondern vor allem, weil ihre beiden kleinen Söhne allein im Inneren des Hauses zurückgelassen wurden. Das passt so gar nicht zu der so zuverlässigen Mutter, und Nate entscheidet sofort, den Notruf zu wählen und auch Denise' Vater Rick, einen erfahrenen Sergeant, zu verständigen. Sofort beginnt eine umfangreiche Suche nach der 21-jährigen, die sich bald als Wettlauf gegen die Zeit entpuppen wird. Denn der Entführer scheint der Polizei immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Denise Amber Lee und Michael King, und wie dieser Fall nicht nur das Leben vieler Menschen, sondern auch die Gesetzeslage in Florida verändert hat.

It's not hoarding if it's pretty books! This is a show many months in the making! Turns out coordinating a podcast with someone in Australia is not as simple as you would think. But it finally worked out and here we are! I wanted to talk to Sara because she runs a fairly awesome bookish community that would've been wiped from existence if she didn't raise it from the ashes. And now, it's alive and thriving and about 200 people strong. In this episode, we're talking about monthly book subscription boxes, special edition books and how they appeal to the collectors in us, and of course, the discord that brings it all together. Check out below for all the info we discussed! If I missed anything, reach out and let me know and I'll update it. Until next time! Links and Info Discussed Here are the links where you'll find the top 4 monthly book subscriptions we discussed. If you're really curious, every site has a catalog/past book database where you can see the offerings they've had in the past. If you want to really dive into it and have more questions, the link to the discord is below. Every subscription is going to have a waitlist you have to sign up for, some of which could be as short as a few weeks to as long as 10 months. So keep that in mind! Fairyloot Illumicrate Owlcrate The Bookish Box Fourth Wing was brought up a lot. So you can find more info on the book itself right here. If you want to check out all the absolute madness that happened when it first came out, along with the first run copies that were going for over $500 (you know, the one I could've bought for $15 but I cancelled it..) Then go ahead and check that out right here. Bonus: Here's a really good round up on all the special editions of Fourth Wing that are out there! (For reference, the 3 that I have are the holiday edition, Waterstones', and Fairyloot's) And here is Sara's Fourth Wing collection! Sara mentioned a copy of Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan that she just HAD to have, despite it being in Italian, a language that she does not even SPEAK. If you want to check out La figlia della dea della luna and see if it's worth it, you can do so here. We discussed Sword Catcher by and how superior Illumicrate's version of the book was (the version Sara has) when compared to Fairyloot's version (the one I had). If you want to see the difference, then here is Illumicrate's, and here is Fairyloot's. Here are our Top 5 Books of the Year! After editing the show, I realized that maybe I should've gone with books that actually came out this year, as oppose to books I've read since some are a few years old. But too late now! Here they are, along with the books that we did not like! Sara The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (by S.A. Chakraborty) Bonesmith (by Nicki Pau Preto) Sword Catcher (by Cassandra Clare) Divine Rivals (by Rebecca Ross) Yellowface (by R.F. Kuang) Silver in the Bone (by Alexandra Bracken) (did not like) Los The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (by S.A. Chakraborty) (freaking READ IT!) A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking (by T. Kingfisher) Legends & Lattes (by Travis Baldree) Fourth Wing (by Rebecca Yarros) The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (by V.E. Schwab) The Jasad Heir (by Sara Hashem) (did not like) Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (by Gabrielle Zevin) (did NOT like) Lastly! Here is the invite link for the main topic of our conversation, the Fairyboot Discord! Remember, do not be a jerk. Sara WILL cut you. Fairyboot Discord invite link Head over to https://themanthechefthedad.com/links/ where you'll find a bunch of different ways to help me out via affiliate links and referrals. Remember, all you have to do is get to Amazon via one of my links for it to register to me. https://designingbyknight.etsy.com -- Here is my Etsy Sticker Shop! Now updated with holiday designs, bookmarks, and magnets! It's leaning more towards book centric stuff, but I'm looking to focus on gaming a lot more next year.

We're back for our first episode of the summer! In this one, we take a trip to post-Rome Britain to explore our fascination with a time period that is more myth than history. Going full history nerd, we take a look at three books set in Britain after the withdrawal of Roman imperial powers: Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott, Here Lies Arthur by Philip Reeve, and Sistersong by Lucy Holland. We discuss the possible origin of the King Arthur myth, queer medieval narratives, and the cultural diversity of Britain at this time–as well as wizards, warlords, and murder ballads. Other Media Mentioned: Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Little Blue Encyclopedia for Vivian by Hazel Jane Plante The Thousand Eyes by A.K. Larkwood Bernard Cornwell's books Spear by Nicola Griffith Perceval by Chretien de Troyes The Two Sisters by Steeleye Span On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain by Gildas History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth Content Warnings: Discussions of war, death, and body horror Also 1) apologies for the distant car horn in a few moments and 2) our discussion of Here Lies Arthur involves talking about some characters who present as different genders over the course of the story and so has some varying pronoun usage.
Nerdette Book Club is back to discuss our June pick ‘The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi' by Shannon Chakraborty. The book weaves together fantasy and history in a propulsive plot set on the high seas of the Indian Ocean in the 12th century. Our protagonist is Amina al-Sirafi, a retired pirate who is called back to the high seas for one last job. She rallies her old crew and embarks on the treasure hunt of a lifetime, encountering all kinds of creatures and devious characters along the way. Our panelists are Meha Ahmad, senior producer for WBEZ's daily talk show Reset, and Christina Orlando, writer and books editor at Tor.com. This conversation includes spoilers! If you have not read the book yet, you can find our spoiler-free interview with Shannon Chakraborty in our feed.]]>

On the heels of one of the more average fantasy novels I've read recently, I picked up one of the most unique fantasy novels I've ever read. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty follows the titular character, a 40-year-old mother who is both a pirate and a devout Muslim, as she comes out of retirement for one last job. I spend time detailing the many unique facets of this novel, talk about the pacing, and discuss the role religion played in this book.
