Nick has six novels and a collection of short stories under his belt, but A Forty Year Kiss may be his first love story.  His mind was set to wondering after he overheard a passionate conversation in his favorite local bar between two older people, a conversation that made him blush just a little. He began playing with the idea of what this couple's back story was. Nick's book asks readers to consider the difference between first love and love between mature adults, how life's baggage affects personal relationships, and whether people can really change.    Nick also talks to us about his rural Wisconsin roots, why he read Babysitter Club books in his childhood, and the debate on whether he should wear a cape.     For our book recommendation section of this episode, we decided to find some of our favorite books we've read as a result of being in a book club together for two decades. For the most part, our book club chooses novels, but there is one memoir in the lot, as well as contemporary fiction, historical fiction, sci-fi, and a classic.    Books Discussed in this Episode:   1- A Forty Year Kiss by Nickolas Butler   2- Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler   3- A Paris Year by Janice MacLeod   4- Godspeed by Nickolas Butler    5- Love, Hope & Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan   6- The Fertile Earth and the Ordered Cosmos edited by M.

In this episode, we're diving into one of our favorite daily rituals—coffee. But don't worry, this isn't an anti-coffee episode. I'm not taking your cup away! Instead, I'll walk you through the pros and cons of coffee from a Project Weight Loss lens, and we'll look at whether this beloved brew is helping or hindering your goals. Here's what we'll cover:·      The science-backed benefits of coffee (spoiler: antioxidants, brain health, and more)·      The not-so-great side effects (think: sleep, stress, and gut issues)·      How coffee ties into your Project Weight Loss goals·      My personal approach to enjoying coffee mindfully·      Tips to cut back (if that's what you decide to do)·      A little fun with 10 coffee one-liners  Quote of the Week:“People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought Francie, "something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains - a cup of strong hot coffee when you're blue; … a book to read when you're alone - just to be with someone you love. Those things make happiness.”―  Betty Smith, from her book -A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Links Mentioned in This Episode: Episode on the 36 Questions to Build Intimacy  SourcesJournal of Nutrition: Vinson JA, et al.

Book: “The Hipster's Legacy” Website(s): www.plumtreetales.com Facebook: Lorraine Gibson Cohen Facebook LorraineGibson Cohen, daughter of Harry the Hipster Gibson — a zany, 1940s jazz pianist who claimed to have coinedthe term “hipster” — welcomes audiences into her eccentric family of offbeatartists and musicians in her nostalgic, humor-filled memoir, The Hipster's Legacy: A Memoir of Dreams, Jazz and Family in1960s California. Please refer to the pressrelease below for additional information, and let me know if you would like toreceive a copy of The Hipster'sLegacy for inteview and/or reviewpurposes. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Hipster's Legacy aColorful Memoir Characterized by 1960s Nostalgia, Humor and Eccentricity NEW YORK, March 17, 2025 — Immersing oneself in the pages of LorraineGibson Cohen's captivating memoir, TheHipster's Legacy: A Memoir of Dreams, Jazz and Family in 1960s California, would be akin to reading Betty Smith's coming-of-age A Tree Grows in Brooklyn andGerald Durrell's endearing My Familyand Other Animals at the same time. Cohen is the daughter of1940s jazz pianist Harry the Hipster Gibson, who claims to have coined the term“hipster,” and in her book, she recalls her years in a funky, red-shingledcottage next to a landfill in Southern Californiawhere her life was rife with eccentric characters and aburdly humoroussituations. “When I was 22 years old, I started writing in an old grayloose-leaf notebook while I was living temporarily with my older sister, herthree little children and my younger brother in a small beach town in Southern California,” Cohen recalled. “I wrote downthings as they happened. All the funny things and the not-so-funny. There wereshort stories, character studies of people and things, even a song or two.Sixty years later, I found the notebook and started writing again. Before Iknew it, I was writing a book.” A memoir that reads like anovel, The Hipster's Legacy includes 15 illustrations (by Cohen herself) and 35 familyphotos to help bring to vivid life the coming-of-age story of a late bloomer and quiet dreamer. Born into a musical family and raised on dreams of fame andglory, 22-year-old Cohen finds it tough going on her own when she moves to Hollywood. Acceptingdefeat, she takes the 20-mile ride back home. But home isn't quite the same at 230 Culper Court.In her absence, her mother has moved out to live “in sin” with a used carsalesman named Bob. Replacing her at the cottage is Cohen's older sister,Arlene, her three kids, and Cohen's younger brother, Jeff. Cohen's life takes adifferent turn as she learns to fit in with her newly re-arranged family andtheir quirky friends, exotic oddballs, hapless misfits, and the flotsam andjetsam of strange and talented people who pass through the little red cottageby the sea. The Hipster's Legacy isan intriguing and often humorous memoir of a unique family influenced by ahard-working mother who just missed being a saint and a father, the wild jazzpianist and entertainer known as Harry the Hipster, whose amazing abilities andcrazy style influenced the evolution of Rock and Roll.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!In lieu of my regular monthly report, I am here today to finish my list of the best books I've read this year. My final total for 2024 is going to come in at between 204 and 210 books — well off my ridiculous pace of 2023, but still, a lot.

To plant a fig tree in our climate is an act of faith. Most figs are native to the tropics—and in the heat and sweat of this world they do amazing things. They've co-evolved with a wasp that crawls into the fruit and pollinates it from the inside out.

The airline & the people and the airline that planted a giant Redwood Tree At Schiphol Cargo in Amsterdam may be gone, but here both are fondly remembered. Sometimes what cargo does together can grow everyone's situation for the better, is the message here nearly 55 years later.

The streets of Detroit whisper stories of dreams and despair, and it's here where we trace the threads of Darnell's life—a young man whose laughter once echoed through the alleyways but was silenced too soon. Our journey through grief and resolve takes us deep into the heart of a community shaken, spotlighting Marcus, a beacon of dedication, as he stitches together the faded narrative of a dispute turned deadly.

We love reading! But not all of us have always loved reading, and not all of our kids love reading. Join us this week as we discuss ways to help our children discover the magic of reading. We talk about connecting with our kids through books, modeling a love of reading, and being patient with kids who are slower to find that love. What are some ways you help instill a love for reading in your home? We'd love to hear on Instagram, @eyresisters!    Notes: Books Lists -    https://71toes.com/favorite-books-for-young-readers/     https://71toes.com/best-book-club-books/     https://71toes.com/favorite-books/           Books Mentioned in this episode, plus a few extras we threw in:            Some favorite picture books:      The Happy Lion     Leonardo the Terrible Monster      The Little Brute Family     The monster at the end of this book   Where the wild things are         Favorite read alouds for pre-k up:     Education of Little Tree     The one and only Ivan     Little house books     Boxcar Children     Ms. Piggle Wiggle     Roald Dahl      Narnia series      Pippi Long Stocking     King Matt     Heidi     The Little Princess      Little Women     Little Men     Harry Potter     The Mixed Up Files      Wonder      Jonny Tremain (older kids)     The Giver (older kids)      The Bronze Bow     Under the Egg     The Terrible Two     The Hobbit     The Hundred Dresses     Ida B     Charlotte Web     All of a Kind Family      Some Kind of Courage            Books we love as women:     A Tree Grows in Brooklyn     Jane Eyre      A Tale of Two Cities     The Good Earth      A Place For Us      Tattoos on the Heart     And there was Light  

Grace Lin (The Year of the Dog, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon) shares her thoughts on the value art provides to those who experience it and those who create it, and how it contributes to getting us in touch with our own humanity.****On Today's Show"Maybe if they haven't been in that situation, they know someone who has, or they have friends who have really struggled with losing loved ones. That all helps build empathy." - Karina Yan Glaser Karina Yan Glaser is always emotionally honest in her stories. Pulling largely from her own experiences, she lets her feelings seep onto the pages in a way that makes it impossible not to feel as a reader. But despite writing for children, she doesn't hide any of those hard emotions such as anger, sadness, and grief. She believes in the power of stories to help kids practice empathy and be prepared for the tough situations we all face in life.Her takes on community, diversity, and hardship are what make her series The Vanderbeekers such a success. In this episode of The Reading Culture, she joins to share how her own reading journey has shaped who she is as a writer and how she approaches building empathy into her stories.Karina has also developed a reading challenge in partnership with Beanstack for listeners and Beanstack partners. Her theme is books where New York City is a character. You can learn more about the challenge here.ContentsChapter 1 - Getting to know Karina (3:53)Chapter 2 - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (8:22)Chapter 3 - Becoming a Writer (16:36)Chapter 4 - Empathy in Stories (20:16)Chapter 5 - The Culture of Reading in Schools (28:59)Chapter 6 - A Question From a Reader (33:35)Chapter 7 - Beanstack Featured Librarian (36:41)This episode's Beanstack featured librarian is Megan Wilson, a librarian at Aggieland High School in College Station, Texas, which is part of the International Leadership of Texas charter schools network.

We open it up with a look at our first experiences with both the film and the series, and then do an overview of what we plan to explore in more depth this month. Topics include the true history of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and the real Rockford Peaches, as well as the real-life queer love stories that may have inspired the TV show's romance, plus how references to literary classics like Pride and Prejudice and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn offer parallels to the story, and more. We also take the quiz to find out which character we are, which you can take here.
