    We Can't Believe We've Been Podcasting for ONE YEAR! 🎉

    🎉 We're celebrating ONE YEAR of Read Between the Wines! 🍷📚 What started as two sisters talking about books has turned into 50 episodes, countless reviews, unforgettable characters, hilarious debates, and an amazing community that we never imagined we'd have. ❤️ In this special anniversary episode, Mandy and Deb look back on our first year of podcasting—sharing our favorite episodes, the books that surprised us the most, unforgettable reading moments, and the stories behind the podcast that you've never heard before. We also thought it was the perfect time to properly reintroduce ourselves! We talk about our favorite books, authors, tropes, audiobooks, TV shows, reality TV obsessions, podcasts, food, wine, music, and plenty of random favorites that have absolutely nothing to do with books (well... mostly 😉). Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or just discovered us through ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, Rose Hill, Starside, Meghan Quinn, Elsie Silver, or Nora Roberts, we're so grateful you're here. Thank you for helping us reach 50 episodes and making our first year something we'll never forget.
