Waking Kate | Sarah Addison Allen
8 posts | 23 read | 15 to read
From Sarah Addison Allen, the beloved author of Garden Spells, comes Waking Kate, a story about a woman who soon will face an unforeseen change in her life. One sticky summer day as Kate is waiting for her husband to come home from his bicycle shop, she spots her distinguished neighbor returning from his last day of work after eighty-six years at Atlanta's oldest men's clothing store. Over a cup of butter coffee, he tells Kate a story of love and heartbreak that makes her remember her past, question her present, and wonder what the future will bring.

A short prequel to The Lost Lake, it's beautifully crafted, sad but with a touch of magic. Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next book she writes!

Today‘s #ReadingResolutions prompt is #FavoriteAuthor. And Sarah Addison Allen is definitely that! I‘m enamored of ALL of her books. Including “Waking Kate”, (not pictured) a free short story prequel to Lost Lake. I love that this beautiful and haunting tale is free on Kindle, but, in my little bookie heart, I wish I could buy it as a hardcopy! Who knows, maybe it‘ll come out in a future short story collection?

Booknerd2 Love her too. So want her to come out with a new one. 7y
the.bookish.valkyrie @Booknerd2 Me too! But I‘m trying my best to simmer down and be patient. She‘s been working on the next one, but it‘s taking a back burner to spending time with her sick mother. 7y
Booknerd2 @ValkyrieAndHerBooks I sometimes forget that they are people just like us. I know Tami Hoag is going through something similar and her book has been delayed as well. I‘ll keep being patient. ☺️ 7y

I took the day off work and am spending the morning with a digital short story from one of my favorite authors. And I wouldn't even know it existed if it weren't for fellow Litten, @MidnightBookGirl !

"'Don't be so skeptical,' he said as he took a sip from his own mug. 'Butter coffee is a treat. You put milk in coffee, don't you? It all comes from the same cow.'

Not wanting to seem rude, she took a sip. It tasted like winter, like a savory, buttered dish from a warm oven. She raised her brows and smiled at him.

'I told you so,' he said."

I read this and had to try it! It's delicious! #ReadAndEat #SeptPhotoChallenge #CoffeeIsAFoodGroup

Cinfhen Really? How much butter? And milk too? I'm intrigued...but somewhat lactose intolerant 😜☕️ 8y
the.bookish.valkyrie @Cinfhen just butter, no milk. I used around 12 oz of hot coffee, a little over a tablespoon of butter, and a small squirt of agave ( a little went a long way - this is pretty rich!) I put it all in a shaker bottle and shook it until the butter was melted and the coffee was frothy then poured it in the mug 😍☕️ 8y
Cinfhen @Valkyrie923 yummm!!!definitely gonna give it a try👍🏻thanks 8y
kspenmoll And i love butter - have to try it. 8y
Laalaleighh Oh I love butter coffee. 8y
