A Year in Review
Celebrating Community, Books, and Cozy Moments at Sip on Stories in 2025
2025 was a year filled with turning pages, meaningful connections, and shared moments that reminded us why we started Sip on Stories in the first place. As an independent online bookstore rooted in community, cozy reading, and thoughtful curation, this past year marked a powerful chapter of growth, and it's one we're proud to reflect on.
By the Numbers: Our 2025 Reading Journey
This year, we:
Read 71,775 pages across 218 books, spanning genres and voices
Collaborated with 20 incredible authors, amplifying diverse stories and creative work
Launched 3 quarterly book subscription boxes, each thoughtfully curated for readers who love intentional, cozy experiences
Partnered with 3 book clubs, including two virtual groups and one in-person community
Hosted 14 community-centered events, bringing readers together through stories, conversation, and connection
Every statistic tells a story, but more importantly, each one represents real readers, real conversations, and real moments shared around books.
Supporting Authors, Readers, and Independent Book Culture
At Sip on Stories, supporting authors and fostering reader connection is at the heart of everything we do. In 2025, our author collaborations and book club partnerships allowed us to shine a light on meaningful stories while creating welcoming spaces, both online and in person, for readers to gather.
Our quarterly book subscriptions became a cornerstone of that mission, offering readers a way to slow down, discover new favorites, and enjoy curated pairings of books and coffee delivered right to their door.
Community Is Our Favorite Chapter
The events we hosted this year reminded us that reading doesn't have to be solitary. Whether you joined us for Silent Book Club, a community gathering, opened a subscription box at home, or followed along online, you helped shape Sip on Stories into more than just an independent bookstore. You helped build a community.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we turn the page to a new year, we're carrying forward everything we learned in 2025. More great books. More cozy sips. More opportunities to connect through stories that matter.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We can't wait to share what's next!
Here's to a new year of great books, good sips, and continued community connection in 2026!
