Maybe you ll bring that recipe book whose pages are all soup-stained from being pulled out to cook dinner from over and over, or that foodie memoir with the absolutely delicious chocolate chip blondies at the end of the chapter where the author falls in loooove - or maybe it ll just be a novel whose food descriptions have you pining for croissants in Paris STAT. Moreover, it can be considered or is a form of abuse because this dude has low self-esteem issues which is never mentioned but is so obvious because every romantic relationship of his fails.
The blend consists of grapes like Zinfandel, Merlot, and Syrah, which are carefully selected to create a balanced and distinct flavor profile. The aroma of the Black Girl Magic Red Blend is captivating, with notes of black cherry, raspberry, and dark chocolate. These aromas give the wine a luscious and decadent character.
Witch, please [fill my TBR]
A very witchy almost-Halloween to you, P&P pals! Our October event this week was extraordinarily fun and filled with exactly the kind of joyful bookish togetherness that Amy & I could only dream about for this little community.
In this month’s newsletter, we’ve got a Witchy TBR like you’ve never seen before (plus a few picture book recommendations!), news for November (hint - you’re gonna wanna get your grocery lists ready) and our hero recipes for the fall just before the end. But first! Let’s share the fantastic books our community brought to this month’s Witchy Books Polish & Prose Society.
MARY’S PICK: Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
If the 90s classic movie “Now and Then” were a witchy, feminist and fearfully relevant book, it’d be this one. I loved exploring a world where the secret matriarchy is actually running the show, and exploring all of the ways in which our power and prejudices control just about everything we do. The ending made me want to throw this book across the room, but I still rated it five stars and cannot wait for the sequel! - Mary
AMY’S PICK: They Never Learn by Layne Fargo
I like this one because as a thriller, it’s surprising and different. You think it’s going one way, and it pitches you into a completely different direction as two storylines of our narrators converge. I also loved the ending! - Amy

And now that October’s behind us, you might be asking - what’s next? We are so very pumped to announce that November’s theme will be Cookbooks and Foodie Books . Maybe you’ll bring that recipe book whose pages are all soup-stained from being pulled out to cook dinner from over and over, or that foodie memoir with the absolutely delicious chocolate chip blondies at the end of the chapter where the author falls in loooove - or maybe it’ll just be a novel whose food descriptions have you pining for croissants in Paris STAT. Whatever you choose, I think it’s safe to say our book list for November will be positively mouth-watering.
November’s event will be on Wednesday 11/16 at 8:00 PM CST , and signup will open via newsletter only on Monday, 11/7 - so keep your eyes on your email for the chance to join us!
To hold us all over until then, Amy and I thought it only fitting to share our favorite autumnal recipes making putting dinner on the table just a little more fun in this crunchy-leaf season.
diving into these soup recipes likeI make this Slow-Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup on absolute repeat this time of year - I especially love tossing in a parmesan rind along with the pasta 30 minutes from the end for an extra punch of flavor - and no additional noodle boiling required! Pack with extra veggies and serve with your absolute toastiest bread slathered in good butter.
Amy shared this recipe for Dinner in a Pumpkin a few days ago and the internet just about lost it over how cool this is. I love how rustic and fun this recipe looks, and you better believe I’ll be carving an extra (dinner) pumpkin with my family next year for a new autumn holiday tradition!
And with that - we’re out until next time, friends! But to tide us over until November’s event, let’s chat - share your favorite autumnal recipe in the comments of this post and let’s all solve the problem of what to eat throughout the entire month of November together, shall we?
Don’t forget to connect with us on Instagram @polishandprosesociety in the meantime for some extra book & nail fun, and of course - reach out with questions anytime to [email protected].
We’ll see you soon!

Overall I enjoyed this book even though it has some plot points that tend to annoy me. It isn’t a good sign when you find yourself muttering, “A quick phone call would clear this up” and “Stand up for yourself, ya wimp.”

Reviews for "McBride Sisters' Black Girl Magic Red Blend: A Testament to Diversity and Inclusion in Wine"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was really excited to try the McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend, but I was sorely disappointed. The wine had a really strange taste, almost like it had gone bad. It was also way too sweet for my liking. I couldn't even finish a glass of it. I was really hoping for a rich, smooth, and complex red blend, but this was anything but. I won't be purchasing this wine again.
2. David - 2 stars
I've heard so much hype about the McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The wine lacked depth and complexity, and the flavors were quite one-dimensional. It tasted like an average supermarket brand wine, nothing special. Considering the price point, I expected a lot more. I don't think I'll be buying this wine again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend, but it fell flat for me. The wine had a strong alcohol taste that overpowered any other flavors present. It was also quite acidic, which made it difficult to enjoy. I had to let it breathe for a while, but even then, it wasn't as smooth as I had hoped. I'm disappointed because I really wanted to support this brand, but the wine just didn't impress me.
4. James - 1 star
I regret purchasing the McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend. It had a very off-putting smell, almost like vinegar. The taste was equally disappointing, with a strange artificial sweetness that lingered unpleasantly on my palate. I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle or if this is just the way this wine is, but either way, I won't be buying it again. There are much better red blends out there at similar price points.
5. Laura - 2 stars
I was excited to try the McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The wine had a strange aftertaste that I couldn't quite place, and it lingered unpleasantly. The flavors were quite muddled, and I couldn't really discern any specific notes. I wanted to like this wine, especially because of its empowering message, but unfortunately, it just missed the mark for me.
