Reading under a blanket with a book light because I'm Quirky and Not Like Other Readers. 🙄😂 I'm not that obnoxious I swear. I just like sitting under blankets because it is the only safe spot on the planet thank u

So anyways. Here is 1 of 45 books I still have out from the library. Cute little album of famous meals from literature 💞

HotMessJess Oh my gosh, adorable! I always wanted to make mixed drinks that were inspired by fictional characters 8y
queerbookreader @HotMessJess It's so cute, the author recreated all these meals and photographed every single one herself 8y
HotMessJess So creative! I love it! I'll have to find this book and check it out. Kind of reminds me of People recreating Bob's Burgers Burgers!!! 8y

And here's a pretty #earthcolored #earthy picture from the inside of fictitious dishes (from a Hemingway story "big two-hearted river"). #aprilbookshowers

This fun book has a nice #earthtonedcover. It's a good one to flip through and see pictures of dishes described in books along with the quote. #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading (oops: just realized I'm a day early on this prompt - it's been that kind of week).

You know those times when you feel down for a variety of reasons & it seems like there is a doom cloud hanging over your head?🌧😶That's the way this month has been-especially this week. Then yesterday, a friend I made at the coffeeshop brought me a copy of this book because she follows my blog & Instagram & likes the book/food pairings I do. She said she saw it, thought of me &, ordered a copy. Such a sweet thing to do-it totally made my day.😊💜

DebinHawaii I actually have a copy of this book I bought at my local bookstore several months ago (of course I didn't tell her), so I'm thinking of doing some kind of giveaway on Litsy for one. It's a fun book if you like food, books & bookish food. 😋🍴📚 (edited) 8y
BethFishReads Awwww. What a great friend 8y
Zelma That is such a nice gift and so thoughtful of your friend. And lots of hugs. I know all about those doom clouds. 💕 8y

Living for years in PDX & Seattle, I'm used to great indie bookstores & they're lacking here so I'm jealous of all the #getindie posts. The main indie bookstore here is 40-mins away in Kailua. Had a meeting that way today & ran by. It's usually a hit or miss & a jumble of shelves/piles of new & used as you can see in the pics but I managed to find used copies of a longtime TBR list book & a fun foodie book for $14.45. But yeah...still jealous!😀

MrBook Nice! 8y
Zelma ❤️ The Night Circus and that food book looks really cool! 8y
MemoirsForMe I'd definitely get lost in that store. 😂👍🏻📚 8y
