A few people asked for "just a good summer read" - even if their names were lost in the ether before the booksellers could capture them on IG. This led Episode 44 to begin with a discussion about what makes a book a summer book. Ideas included: it's about a road trip? it's a paperback, it's intense and engrossing and long because you finally have time for those books, or it's light and breezy and entertaining. In short, we reached no conclusion about a definition of a summer read, and the booksellers came up with a great list for you for your summer - no matter your definition of a summer book. Their recommendations include VenCoby Cherie Dimqline, The Swifts for kids, Fake Accounts,and Lapvona by an author we mention a lot - Otessa Moshvegh.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.
A question - I LOOOOVED Cloud Cuckoo Land and Great Circle - -need epic multi-POV novels - from Amanda via IG led us into Episode 43.

Episode 42 is all about books that are "Informational but easy to digest" based on a question from Britt via Instagram. Due to her busy schedule - starting with owning a store and getting married in early July, Allie was unable to join us and sent Jen in her place. We were thrilled to welcome Jen again and wish Allie the best. Now the books. Jen opened with a recommendation for The Right to Sex. Emma followed with Naked Economics by Dartmouth professor Charles Wheelan. Sex and naked? -- we must be headed into summer.

Episode 40 answered Dianne's need for "some good humor books that are not romantic comedies of Janet Evanovich ''. This led to a brief discussion about whether Janet Evanovich writes humor books. We came to no conclusion. Suggestions included anything by Eleanor Lipman including her latest Ms. Demeanor, anything by Jenny Lawson and Samantha Irby, and French Exit. We hope these leave everyone laughing.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.
Episode 39's question came from Lisa F. and asked us to recommend "good YA book that spotlights an animal, but isn't about animal abuse of heart wrenchingly sad." This was hard because many animal books are well ... sad. and this amazing group still found some titles to recommend. These include Shady Hallow, Pax, Council of Animals, and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community (NOW LOCATED AT JAM, Junction Arts & Media); three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

Horror Recs! is all Maria Teresa wrote in her request, but our booksellers were incredibly excited to explore this relatively new category they are now using to shelve books in their stores.

Jenn's question "I would love to go on a European holiday soon, but I just can't find the time or the money.

Food becomes the main discussion in Episode 36 when Signe asks "Who's the next Barefoot Contessa?" The booksellers agreed on the following - Ina Gratner still reigns and there is nothing wrong with sticking with her cookbooks. And, if you are looking for someone else they all landed on Alison Roman.

Kirsten asks about her latest reading dilemma, "My dilemma: Making time to read fiction as my thirst for knowledge / evidence increases with age."

Actually, there is no action without anxiety. We all feel it, and we're all driven by it—and almost no one is completely at peace with it. Morra Aarons-Mele, author of The Anxious Achiever and Hiding in the Bathroom: How to Get Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home), has been working for years to normalize those feelings and the spectrum on which they appear to bring mental health struggles out into the open and encourage people to rethink the relationship between their mental health and their success. We talk about harnessing every degree of anxiety and finding ways to keep going—and even go better—when things get hard.LINKS FROM THE PODThe Anxious AchieverHiding in the Bathroom: How to Get Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home)The Anxious Achiever PodcastMorra Aarons-MeleUsing tropes and genres like a pro: Ep 334 with Alexis Hall#AmReadingMorra: Robertson Davies The Deptford Trilogy, The Cornish TrilogyWhich sent us onto a tangent that included: Peter Orner, author of Still No Word From You, Katie Crouch, author of Embassy Wife, Andy Borowitz of The Borowitz Report, Sarah Stewart Taylor, author of A Stolen Child and The Drowning Sea who appeared on the podcast in episode 298 and Lisa Christie's The Book Jam, which hosted the event KJ refers to along with her podcast, Shelf Help, and then another podcast, This Jungian Life.KJ: The Murderbot Diaries, Martha WellsIf you love a good writing retreat—especially one that comes with good solid coaching and the chance to meet others who are working on similar projects—here's one to check out.

Books that contain protagonists in their 80s who aren't super-depressed about their age.This episode was guided by a question from Shelf Help's friend KJ, an author herself, who was looking for great books for her mom that feature protagonists who are older and not depressed about it. Her question led of course to the Thursday Murder Club mysteries by Richard Osman, and quickly veered away from those as KJ's question specifically said don't recommend those because her mom is not yet in assisted living. The Group - Kari, Allie and Emma (still no Sam who was busy at the Norwich Bookstore) - came up with the following: The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen by Hendrik Groen, If You Ask Me And Of Course You Won't by Betty White, Auntie Poldi And The Sicilian Lions (An Auntie Poldi Adventure #1) by Mario Giordano and Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, among others. They all had us looking forward, at least a bit more, to aging.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Some books that provide feminist rethinkings and revisionings of the hero cycle/"hero's journey", or said another way books that explore the heroine's journeyWe were joined by Allie for this episode, and bid a fond goodbye to Still North's Jen, hoping to hear from her again soon. This question from Devon was interpreted widely by the group - Allie, Emma, and Kari (still no Sam). Their picks include: Circe by Madeline Miller, The Shame by Mckenna Goodwin, The Heroine with 1001 Faces by Maria Tatar, How to be Eaten by Marion Adelmann, and Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes.

Fun, yet clever books for college kids Jen joined us again from Still North; and, Sam and Allie were still unable to be with us. But Jen, Kari, and Emma discussed great ideas to answer a question from Laura looking for great books for her kid in college. Their picks included, but were not limited to, The Idiot by Elif Batuman, Bunny by Mona Awad, Long Way To Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, Hamster Princess by Ursula Vernon, and What Moves The Dead by T.

Tolstoy and great books about unhappy familiesFor this episode and its question from our friend and superb librarian Lucinda wanting more books about unhappy families, we were joined by Jen from Still North Books & Bar as Allie had a conflict. Jen was succinct, delightful, and forthcoming about her senior thesis with one recommendation - Abolish the Family by Sophie Lewis. Emma had a long list that included Normal Family by Chrysta Bilton, Fun Home by Allison Bechtdel, Priest Daddy by Partricia Lockwood and Dominicana by Angie Cruz. Kari split the difference and chose two books - Inheritance by Dani Shapiro and Bastards by Mary Anna King.

What is your favorite “snack” book --- a book that is great “because no matter what is going on, you can pick it up and enjoy it even if it's only a chapter or two.”The bookstore owners fully embraced the concept of a snack book. Well, with the exception of Emma who confessed she does not pick books up and down, unlike her partner Sam who has multiple books going at all times. So Emma used this question as a reason to reference Shirley Jackson again. Specific book recommendations from all the booksellers included the Best American Series (essays, fiction, travel), Mythologies by Roland Barthes, and We are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Books for High Schoolers Who Seem to Have Become NonreadersThe owners wanted more information for this one, such as what are this young man's interests. That led into a broader conversation about broad categories, rather than specific books that can help get teens reading again. For Sam, these include narrative nonfiction in the sociology, history, and travel sections. Allie recommended dystopian fiction. Kari chose books that have protagonists who are the same age as the reluctant reader. And, Emma recommended series. All referenced Shelf Help's previous reading slump episode. Specific books to ponder include: the Saga Series, Endurance by Alfred Lansing, Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Serpent King by Jeff Zentner, and We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Beyond Goodnight Moon: Board books for infants and the people who love themThe bookstore owners had fun thinking about books for the youngest among us and the people who love them, which led to a debate about who are board books really for -- kids or adults? Consensus was board books are for both, and then the recommendations flew. Kari recommended books by Il Sung Na such as Book of Sleep, and Emma says you can't go wrong with Natalie Nelson and Dog's First Baby and Cat's First Baby. Allie's recommendations were more interactive with puppets including selections like Little Ghostie, and Sam went slightly more classic with More More More by Vera B Williams and Sheep in a Jeep.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Not Christmas books!Our first question we've received that required clarification resulted in very unique interpretations this episode. The query arrived via instagram from Sara who wrote she needs books that help her in "getting away from the encroaching Christmas." When asked for clarification, she came back with - "Christmas dominates the popular narrative starting late fall, hard to get away from. Stories that aren't about Christmas or anti-Christmas are few and far between. I'm sure there's exciting new fiction or old comfort food stories that get 'the rest of us' through."Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Modern Native American fictionSara was on instagram looking for modern Native American fiction. And the booksellers were brimming with books to recommend. These included anything, anything, anything - fiction for adults, fiction for children, short stories - by Louise Erdrich, A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger, and for kids both Rez Dogs by Joseph Bruchac and Sea in Winter by Christine Day. Listen to the entire episode for more recommendations and to hear the palatable excitement these booksellers felt in discussing this question.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

New Cozy Mysteries! This was another question via instagram, this time from Keri who was looking for new cozy mysteries. The bookstore owners admitted that they are not necessarily cozy mystery readers themselves. This led to a side discussion about how to recommend things when you haven't read a genre or a particular book. Discussed books included Shady Hollow Series by Juneau Black (Juneau is actually two indie booksellers), Death in Door Country by Annelise Ryan, and Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn, which is a recommendation from a Norwich Bookstore customer that Emma looks forward to reading.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Episode 22 - Astrological book pairingsThe question - "Not necessarily a dilemma, but I would like books to be paired with your astrological sign!" - came via instagram from Nicole; and it had the booksellers so excited we delayed discussing it for a month so that Allie, Emma, and Kari could all be present to discuss. This query also resulted in our longest episode yet.To start, we discussed personal charts and learned that Allie is a Libra sun sign, Sagittarius moon sign, with Scorpio as her rising sign. Emma is a Taurus sun sign, a Cancer moon sign, and has Virgo rising. Kari is a Sagittarius sun sign, like Emma has a Cancer moon sign, but has Aquarius rising. Lisa, like Allie, is a Libra, with a Leo moon, and Capricorn rising. (She needs to research what this all means.)Emma then provided a brief tutorial and suggested thinking of one's sun sign as one's ego, a moon sign as one's id, and the rising sign as one's super ego. Allie was shocked no one had ever explained this to her in this way.We then launched into book recommendations. Reviewed books included, and were definitely not limited to Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff, Wilder Girls by Rory Power, Shadow Tag by Louise Erdrich, and we spent quite a bit of time on the fact that The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande epitomizes a Virgo vibe. Listen for more pairings.We also recognized this was the first episode recorded under CATV's new name - JAM: Junction Arts Media. Congratulations to JAM on their new endeavors.

I've read all of Shirley Jackson's work. I loved it! What should I read that's similar? from mrsmorganbakestoomuch via IGOnce again our booksellers began their recommendations with the query -- "are you sure you have read everything Shirley Jackson has written? There is a lot." Assuming mrsmorganbakestoomuch had, they jumped in. The discussion highlighted Shirley Jackson's connections to Bennington, Vermont, the frequency with which her work is mentioned in Shelf Help, and that perhaps her estate should be Shelf Help's first underwriter. Jack highlighted Jazz by Toni Morrison and Secret History by Donna Tartt, leading to a short seminar on Ms. Morrison and her works. Kari mentioned Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry. Emma had a long long list including Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin, White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi and Her Body and Other Parties: Stories by Carmen Maria Machado (seconded by Jack). All mentioned authors whose work resembles Ms. Jackson's -- Angela Carter, Kelly Link. Emma also pointed out that winners of the annual Shirley Jackson Award would be a great list to tackle. We hope this helps all you Shirley Jackson fans out there; and based upon our episodes there seem to be quite a few.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Historical Fiction with an engaging story and characters (I've enjoyed Kristin Hannah) from Anya via IG Anya via IG was looking for "Historical Fiction with an engaging story and characters (I've enjoyed Kristin Hannah)." Our three booksellers, Kari, Jack and Emma, started with the query: Are you sure you have read everything Kristin Hannah has written? They then took off, recommending books such as Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Garmus, Sharks in the Time of Saviors: A Novel, by Kawai Strong Washburn, Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys and The Grand Sophy, by Georgette Heyer among many others.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Children's books for young readers who have high reading levels and have difficulty finding just right books in terms of content (being sensitive enough with an engaging enough reading level) from Rowan via IGRealizing Shelf Help rarely gets questions dealing with books for children, the three booksellers - Emma, Jack and Kari - had a ton of fun discussing their answers to this very common question for indie booksellers. They created significant consensus when all three agreed that The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and The Winternight Trilogy would be great books to hand any child with a high reading level who is not quite ready for teen and adult topics. They also offered unique picks such as Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. We hope they help those of you who have children in your life who pose this dilemma.Shelf Help is a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

How to sit down and finish a book rather than just starting a new one? from Andrew via IGFor the first time in the history of Shelf Help, one of our bookstore owners, Allie sent another bookseller, Jack, in her place. And Sam relied on Emma to represent the Norwich Bookstore alone, as someone had to actually stay in the store and work. Very quickly the three booksellers, Kari, Emma, and Jack, bonded over their adamant and united response to Andrew's Insta question: How to sit down and finish a book rather than just starting a new one? Their intense agreement that you should not finish a book you don't want to read makes this one of the shortest episodes we've ever recorded.

A very specific request from Emma's mom -- "I am always looking for books to read. They can be romantic (but not mushy), suspenseful (but not scary), historical (but not boring), and preferably available on audio. My last "must have" in a book is that it must end happily. I do not want to cry at the end of a book. I can get that watching the news!" -- had the bookstore owners searching their vast knowledge of literature and creating a fabulous list of books, meeting this vast array of criteria, for us all to enjoy.Welcome to Shelf Help a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Tom uses FB to ask the longest question we have received thusfar, "So I could use some advice! I sorta fell out of reading regularly for fun. Due to the events of the world, I've focused more on reading educational topics. I used to read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. Some of my favorite novels are the Dune series (and prequels), and growing up I LOVED the Lost Years of Merlin. I got the book series for The Magicians a few years ago and worked through that and really liked it. I'd like to get back into reading for pleasure again, but nothing has really gotten me super excited. Unfortunately, with the rise of streaming on TV it can be hard to get motivated to sit down and read. I'm trying to re-ignite my love of reading. Can you help?" Of course we can help. Discussed selections include: The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.Jemisin, The Expanse Series by James SA Corey, Annihilation (or the entire Area X trilogy) by Jeff Vandermeer, Wizard of Earthsea (or the series) by Ursula K. Le Guin.Welcome to Shelf Help a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life's trickier - and we'd argue extremely important - questions: what should you read next?

Kari suggests reading short stories as a great way to get reading again; she singles out St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised By Wolves by Karen Russell, and then changes things up by also recommending a memoir, The Electric Woman by Tessa Fontaine.

Dawn's life had always been about transitions, as an Egyptologist and later as a death doula, she helped bring understanding and purpose to the slow slide from life to death. Her passion for ancient relics was interrupted by her own mother's untimely passing and her taking custody of her younger brother and soon thereafter the birth of her daughter, Merit. 15 years later, she is sent on a quest by one of her dying clients, Winn, that will change her life forever. Dawn must face the past and the man that she left behind in Egypt and contend with all of the passions she put on the back burner to take care of others so long ago. Surviving a plane crash helps her to have perspective on her choices and she realizes what is most important to her. Today we are going to sip a 2018 Courbis Cornas which has been described as ‘a 93 point syrah with plump minerality that is well-balanced with notes of smoked meat, dark fruit and chocolate' on its shelf talker. What is a shelf talker, you ask? The artistic descriptions in front of a wine on the shelf of a wine shop. Think of it like a dating profile for your wine. Which bottle would you like to spend the evening with? They will interpret for you the more complex attributes and help you go home happy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/readingbetweenthewines/support

Impactmakers are relentless in their pursuit of positive change. You have a desire to make the world a better place. You acknowledge shortcomings (even your own) but you learn from them. Then, you make a difference. But what happens when you burnout? You can over-live your passion. This happens when you work so hard at something that you become less effective and lose motivation. It's not the end of your work, it's just a sign that you need to pull back. There is a way to rekindle the passion and there's also a way to make sure it doesn't the flame doesn't fizzle out again. Robert Riopel is a master in managing energy and making a positive impact. You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.bobdepasquale.com/podcast/88

Jessica's own story from a working class teenage mum to PR business founder to coach, motivational speaker and mentor was the inspiration for her book, Purpose: Find Your Truth and Embrace Your Calling, and our original plan was for her to create some self-development exercises for the Shelf Help community around the idea of purpose in a pandemic. But suddenly there was a more pressing global story, as the death of black man George Floyd on 25th May in the USA kickstarted an uprising of the Black Lives Matter movement that is being felt around the globe. As a woman of mixed heritage Jessica was - and of course still is - deeply affected by the situation and so we decided instead to have a conversation about the state of the world right now, and how we can - and must - find purpose and light in the darkest of times...
In this episode we talk about how we have a tendency to not use all of the knowledge we are afforded in our lives. We outline how to not engage in this this type of thinking as leaders! If you are in a leadership position of any kind in education then you have been inundated with theories and ideas and the latest research for longer than you can remember. There is definitely no shortage of information when it comes to schools becoming better and how we should be changing things in education. Chances are if you are a leader in education then you are also studying to make yourself better and your individual classroom, team, or school. So if we have mountains of information available to us and we have the privilege of attending a multitude of conferences throughout our careers, then why do we struggle to change most of our practices? Think about the last conference you attended, what did you learn? What practices did you implement? Which presentations did you attend? What was the last book you read that really changed your way of thinking and acting? What points of interest came up in your last professional development meetings? Most in education can answer very few of the questions previously listed. This is something we need to break out of! In this age of over abundance of information we have to start learning to actually do something with the information we are given. True leaders avoid “Shelf Help” thinking. Rather, we analyze, make adjustments, and move forward with all of the amazing information we constantly receive! If we could put into practice half of the ideas we learn about then real change could actually be sustained! This is not an easy fix by any means because of the multitude of variables in any classroom, school, district, or system. I get that every circumstance is different but the best leaders I have been around are always able to find something that can better their classroom, school, or district. We have to be intentional about it though! If you just expect it to happen then chalk one more line for the “shelf help” warriors. Before you know it you'll need a new bookshelf! We need to be better leaders and start acting in accordance with the abundance of information. If you haven't already joined my summer series then come join my summer webinar series at The Healthy Educator to figure out how to better renew so you can show up to school next year as the best version of you! I will see you there! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
