Hi, everybody! Happy Halloween! Our November menu starts tomorrow, but before that kicks off, I have two pieces of exciting news to share about my cookbook, A Literary Tea Party:
- First off, just a reminder that I’ll be in Ottawa, IL on November 17th at Prairie Fox Books for a book signing. There will be fun giveaways, and I’m bringing treats from the cookbook to share! I’ll also be there again in late spring/early summer to do a cooking demo for the grand opening of their new cafe. No exact date set for the second event yet, but I’ll let you know when it’s decided.
- Second, my cookbook has been nominated for the 2018 Goodreads Choice Awards!! 😀 😀 😀 Every year, Goodreads.com picks 15 newly published books in 20 different categories and has 3 rounds of voting to determine the winner in each category. If you would like to vote for my book, you can access the Food & Cookbooks category by clicking here (you’ll need to create a Goodreads account in order to vote, if you don’t already have one). I truly appreciate your support. Seeing my book alongside those of Bobby Flay and Giada de Laurentiis is mindblowing. To be honest, it doesn’t feel real! I’ll know by Nov. 6th if I qualify for the next round of voting. Fingers crossed! ?
See you all back here tomorrow for our first Nov. recipe!
Thanks again for your support!
Not to mention Joanna Gaines’ cookbook is nominated, too. 😮 But you know what? YOURS is the only one I’ve read this year. And for other reasons, I’d be silly not to vote for it (I have, btw) or spread the word. Congratulations, and good luck!!
How did I miss that! I went back and changed my vote immediately! Thank you for letting me know. I hope you win. 🙂
I just wanted to mention that I love your cookbook! I’m so glad I got it!!
And CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it. I had a lot of fun putting it together. ^.^
