Author Event: Sarah Beth Durst

 Last evening, we had an author event at my library. It was lovely.

Sarah Beth Durst came to the library for an after-hours event. 

While she writes for several ages: kids, teens, and adults, we were celebrating her newest series:

Here we are talking:

We talked about so much -

Everyone has a story to tell

Shoutout to my co-workers for taking these photos! 

Nonfiction Review: Cookies from around the World

 

I'm such a fan of desserts, so this book was fascinating to me. It showcased the first recorded desserts in Ancient Egypt and then it talked about how desserts evolved over time. Lots of flavors were shared here - from lots of different countries. 

Cookie Book Tag

I spotted this one BookMarkLit and had to try it! I'm a huge cookie lover (Who isn't really?)

It was created originally by Sorry I’m Booked.

Chocolate Chip: a classic book that you love or really enjoyed
There are so many that I love, but here are the most important two

Thin Mints: a fandom you really want to join or a hyped book you want to read
I can't wait for the next Friends graphic novel


Shortbread: an author you can’t get enough of
Again, SO many. Here are two favorites, I will read ANYTHING they write


Samoas/Caramel DeLites: an emotional rollercoaster
Warning: Sad Dog Story


Snickerdoodles: a book you may never stop rereading/loving
I don't do a lot of re-reading because there are SO many books I want to read, but this book from my teen years is one I try to read every few years.


Soft Sugar Cookies: a book just as good as it sounds
Funny, sweet, and swoon worthy.
