Welcome to The Espresso Shot, a newsletter and blog for curious minds.

In pursuit of a thoughtful and well-rounded life, one espresso shot at a time! I share weekly dispatches on literature, theory, art, and living with intention.

I love learning and sharing what I learn, thinking through my emotions and life via art, and curating seasonal guides and monthly wrap-ups. Here are some places to start reading:

about the author

me + coffee + books

My name is Charlotte, and I’m a bibliophile first before anything else. While I read pretty much anything, I’m partial towards fiction from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, translated lit, horror, and magical realism.

I love a Big Book Project (currently working my way through 1Q84 with my book club) and maybe just projects in general. Outside of reading, I fill my time with my countless hobbies: dancing, crocheting, language learning, rock climbing. I’m always down to try something new.

I’m currently based in Houston, Texas, where I live with my husband and daughter (pet cat), the official mascot of all things Sip of Latte/The Espresso Shot.

You can also find me on Instagram, Storygraph, Letterboxd, and Spotify.

Every letter is completely free! Paid subscriptions are donations-based and greatly appreciated. You can also buy me a latte instead if you’d like!
