Eat It Up

Here in the states it is Thanksgiving time...which means SO MUCH FOOD!  Being the booky that I am I cannot simply have a Thanksgiving dinner, nope I must sneak it as much literary yumminess as possible.  Here are some fun and clever ways to get the books to come to dinner.

Book Plates

Serving up food on these tasty plates would make for a great story.

Pride and Prejudice Spoon

How's this for a well read spoon?

Book Cover Wine Charms

A great way to keep everybody's drink in their own hands

Book Page Tablecloth

Just try to make the pages not too interesting or your guests will be too busy reading to eat.

Literary Teapot

What better way to end a big meal then with a hot drink and a good book.

Since I am not actually hosting the dinner this year, I will have to be tricky and see how many literary elements I can sneak onto the table.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Books In The Kitchen

Well I've finally done it, I have so many books that Hubbin finally let me keep some in the kitchen!  Yep all of the shelving that does not have dishes on it now is full of books!  The best part is we have these amazingly high ceilings so there is a significant gap between the cupboards and the ceiling and my dearest Hubbin got up on a ladder and let me boss him until all my pretty books were perfectly displayed, what a great guy.  Now of course I have to find ways of getting books into the other rooms of the house :-)  Here are some novel ways you too can keep your books in the kitchen.

Built in bookshelf

If I ever build my own house I will have built in bookcases in every room, including the kitchen

Bookshelf Island

I love this easy access way to have books at your beck and call for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Book Buffet

Look, a buffet of books, now that is a kitchen I can get into 

Mini Bookshelf with holder

I know this is supposed to be for cookbooks, but I would totally use it for a good novel while stirring the soup

Kitchen Bookshelves

Who needs dishes when you have BOOKS!

What is the oddest room that you keep books?  What is really more important dishes or books?  How many other places do you think I can get away with stashing my books?
