SUMMARY:The BACKSTAGE Book Club | Read Receipts
DESCRIPTION:The BACKSTAGE Book Club | Read Receipts\nREAD RECEIPTS\nThe Backstage Book Club. Second Sunday of every month. \nSomewhere in your house there is a stack. The novel three people swore was incredible. The memoir you bought at the airport. The nonfiction hardcover you are forty pages into and quietly resenting. \nBring it. All of it. Whatever you are actually reading\, not what you want people to think you are reading. \nRead Receipts is one hour a month where we go around the room and talk about what is on the nightstand right now. No assigned book. No pop quiz. Nobody is making you finish anything. Just a room full of grown-ass sober adults with excellent taste comparing notes on what is worth your time and what you can safely abandon at chapter three. \nHow it works: \n\nOne hour\, second Sunday of the month\, 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm UK\nNo required reading. Bring whatever you are in the middle of.\nTwo or three minutes each to make your case\, then we cross-examine\nCameras on if you want\, off if you do not\, pajamas fully permitted\nEverything mentioned goes into The Backstage Shelf\, the monthly list of what this room is reading\, in your inbox the next day\n\nFiction\, quit lit\, celebrity memoir\, the thriller you are embarrassed about\, the book club pick you hated. It all counts. Especially the one you hated. \nCome with one recommendation. Leave with eleven. \nFREE ACCESS TO BACKSTAGE MEMBERS \nNOT A MEMBER YET?

SUMMARY:BACKSTAGE With Megan A. Schikora\, Author of A Woman in Pink
DESCRIPTION:BACKSTAGE With Megan A. Schikora\, Author of A Woman in Pink\nSome love stories deserve a standing ovation. Others deserve a serious conversation about boundaries. \nOn Nov. 12\, author Megan A. Schikora joins BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator for a live virtual conversation about A Woman in Pink\, a novel that asks what happens when loving someone else means slowly losing yourself. \nRecently reviewed by Anne Marie Cribbin and awarded 4.5 out of 5 Sobees\, the book follows an unnamed narrator through 15 years of loving Dutch\, a man whose addiction reshapes their life together.

SUMMARY:SOBER SWAP BACKSTAGE! Bring one thing. Leave with everybody else's good taste.
DESCRIPTION:SOBER SWAP BACKSTAGE! Bring one thing. Leave with everybody else’s good taste.\nThink flea market energy\, but we’re swapping the stuff currently making life better\, weirder\, tastier\, louder\, or more interesting. \nSober Swap is taking over BACKSTAGE on the third Sunday of every month from 4–5pm ET / 1–2pm PT / 2–3pm MT / 3–4pm CT. \nOne hour. One theme. Bring your current favorite. Make your case for why the rest of us need to know about it. Then shamelessly steal everyone else’s recommendations. \nYour first three swaps: \n🎵 OCTOBER: MUSIC SWAP 10/18/26 \nBring one song you cannot stop playing right now. The one you keep restarting before it’s even over. The one you’ve already forced three friends to listen to. The one that has no business hitting this hard. \nWe’ll build the BACKSTAGE soundtrack together\, live. Come with one song. Leave with a queue full of where the hell has this been all my life? \n✨ NOVEMBER: OBSESSIONS SWAP 11/15/26 \nThis is your permission slip to talk about The Thing. \nThe podcast that changed your brain chemistry. The Substack you’re forwarding to everyone. The show you inhaled in 48 hours. The weird hobby. The app. The rabbit hole. The niche internet drama. The $14 object you now believe everyone should own. \nAnd yes\, if you’ve developed an intense relationship with a particular brand of frozen dumplings\, we need the full report. \n🍪 DECEMBER: RECIPE SWAP 12/20/26 \nWhat’s in heavy rotation in your kitchen right now? \nThe 20-minute dinner saving your butt. The mocktail you actually make twice. The Christmas cookies that disappear before they make it into the tin. That cream cheese and crab dip everyone hovers around at the party. Your grandmother’s soup. The recipe you’ve become completely insufferable about. \nBring the recipe. Bring the story. Bring your strong opinions about why yours deserves a spot in everybody else’s kitchen. \nOne theme. One hour. An entire room of excellent recommendations you didn’t get from an algorithm. \nBring the thing you can’t shut up about. \nWe want in.
