On December 3, 2024, Oprah Winfrey announced her latest book club selection, 'Small Things Like These' by Claire Keegan, marking it as the 109th pick.

In 1997, Oprah’s Book Club selections were sold in Starbucks stores, which helped benefit literacy funds.

The earlier partnership in 2014 resulted in the creation of Teavana Oprah Chai Tea, which raised $21 million for youth education organizations.

The inaugural episode of the podcast, featuring Claire Keegan, was filmed at the Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building store in New York City.

Each episode will be recorded live at Starbucks cafes and will include Oprah's recommendations for beverage pairings.

Listeners can expect a new episode each month, enhancing their reading experience with discussions about coffee and literature.

The podcast will be available for free on platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Oprah's YouTube channel.

More information about the book and the podcast partnership can be found on the Oprah Book Club's website.

The podcast serves as a companion to Oprah's Book Club, featuring conversations between Winfrey and selected authors.

In conjunction with this announcement, Oprah introduced a new monthly podcast in collaboration with Starbucks, titled 'Oprah’s Book Club: Presented by Starbucks'.

This collaboration aims to deepen the connection between readers and authors, enriching the overall experience of Oprah's Book Club.

This marks the third partnership between Oprah and Starbucks, following previous collaborations in 1997 and 2014.
