The Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks Her TBR ListWhether it be a towering stack on your night table like mine, its own pristine bookshelf in your library, or a haphazard list in the back of your planner, what you read next can be a hard choice. In this week’s episode, I let you in on my future choices, and then we get to see if I actually get to those books or if i get sidetracked by new shiny ones beckoning me from my local indie.Let me know what’s on your TBR list, so I can add it to mine.x A2025-03-3118 minThe Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks Romance NovelsCompanies mentioned in this episode: Nook Kindle Harlequin Outlander Bridget Jones's Diary Marion Keyes Daisy Jones and the Six Normal People Sally Rooney Gabrielle Zevin Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Jenny Colgan Joanne Harris Chocolat Emily Henry The Kissing Quotient Helen Huang Where the Crawdads Sing This Tender Land 0I4jNHB0UlLTlBuv2eAT2025-03-1618 minThe Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks 3 Modern Love PoemsValentine’s Day is coming and whether or not you celebrate or believe in the commercial nature of holidays, I am all for a reason to look at poetry about love. And if February makes me feel all the feels, then poetry in February is one way to escalate all of those feelings. Today, we look at three relatively modern ones. I mean within the last 20 years. We don’t need to go all the way back to Sappho or WH Auden to find the best romantic descriptions. Poetry lives and breathes as a reflection of our own times.2025-02-0411 minThe Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks the Winter SeasonWell, here we are again.

Are you closing a door, opening a new one to a room you’ve never entered, or revisiting a dusty room that needs a good airing out?This idea came to me after reading Donald Justice’s poem “Men at 40”. I loved the metaphor of the “softly closed door”. I felt incredible empathy for these men who now looked at their life’s choices and could see that they would no longer be able to take these roads that led to fr...2024-12-0607 minThe Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks 3 Poems for The TImesWhen I am unsure of what’s to come, I turn to poetry.

I am not sure how I define it anymore either. However, I know there are a slew of books I was supposed to read, but time, energy, degree requirements, diversions, and fill-in-the-blank reasons, I just didn’t get to. And when you’re daily writing and work centers on books, well, we all know that there is no such thing as the bottom of that TBR pile.

But when done poorly, it can gut us. I am looking at you The Scarlet Letter.There are so ma...2024-04-2512 minThe Literary SipperThe Literary Sipper Talks LibrariesIn honor of National Library Week (last week anyway!)
