Can a cookbook be a Shelf Sleeper? Can you sit down and read a cookbook? If it’s anything like Victuals by Ronni Lundy, you can. This “Appalachian Journey, with Recipes” is a staff favorite at Wheatberry. With its down-home recipes, stunning photographs, and essays and anecdotes, this is a book that you can sit and read cover to cover.

This week’s Analog Summer Challenge features The Call Me Ishmael Phone Book, a book that feels like it arrived from another era. Part phone directory, part literary treasure hunt, it invites readers to slow down and browse rather than search.

Find inspiration from the nostalgia of landlines and phonebooks - Use this week’s challenge as an excuse to call a friend. Share a book recommendation, swap stories, and enjoy a conversation that unfolds at its own pace. Sometimes the best connections happen when we hear a voice instead of seeing a notification.

Shelf Sleepers: The Deep by Rivers Solomon

Don’t let its size fool you. The Deep is one of the most imaginative novellas on our shelves—a haunting story of memory, identity, and survival set among a society of underwater descendants of enslaved Africans.

It’s lyrical, thought-provoking, and unlike anything else we’ve read. If you’re looking for a short book with a lasting impact, consider giving this little book a chance.

Bonus fun fact: this novella was inspired by the song of the same name by clipping (Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes). Read the book and listen to the song for a truly immersive experience.

💫 Highlight on a new release from Lisa See!

“Daughters of the Sun and Moon” follows three Chinese women in 1870s Los Angeles as they navigate friendship, hardship, and a pivotal moment in American history. Fans of “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” and “The Island of Sea Women” won’t want to miss this moving story of courage and resilience.

🌿Introducing the Analog Summer Challenge

Each Friday, we'll share a book, activity, or simple adventure designed to help you slow down, notice more, and make the most of the season. From nature walks and field guides to journaling, puzzles, reading outdoors, and other analog pleasures, we'll be celebrating all the ways a richer summer can happen away from a screen.

Join us each week and see where the challenge takes you.

This week's challenge: Take a walk. Bring a field guide. Learn the name of something you've never noticed before. Ross County is full of beautiful parks and trails. Let’s get out and enjoy them!
