A Taste for Books

 

 

These square objects are for some an acquired taste.  Some individuals prefer obtaining facts and wisdom in a book over getting lost along some story line.  However, most won't argue that at one time or another they have gained something, something from a book. 

 

These pieces of enveloped words have contributed greatly to many minds and hearts. How might our views of our world and our life differ if books did not exist? Though one may say; " I don't like to read", it doesn't necessarily convey their distaste for books specifically. Perhaps they haven't indulged in a love story, never have been caught up in a mystery, or have never been enlightened by a knowledgeable reference book.  May these disadvantaged gain a preference, stumble upon an interest, or devour words that these wonderful treasures hold.   May they develop a taste for one of the flavors these cakes have to offer.

 

Happy Reading!

Something to tantalize you.....

"A beautiful, heart-breaking gem of a novel written just the way I like them, with the past coming back to haunt the present, endearing heroines and a sunny, hopeful ending. You'll wolf it up in one delicious gulp.”--Tatiana de Rosnay, international bestselling author of Sarah's Key and A Secret Kept

 

Synopsis by Random House Inc.;
      

In 1945, Elsie Schmidt is a naive teenager, as eager for her first sip of champagne as she is for her first kiss. She and her family have been protected from the worst of the terror and desperation overtaking her country by a high-ranking Nazi who wishes to marry her. So when an escaped Jewish boy arrives on Elsie’s doorstep on Christmas Eve, Elsie understands that opening the door would put all she loves in danger.

Sixty years later, in El Paso, Texas, Reba Adams is trying to file a feel-good Christmas piece for the local magazine, and she sits down with the owner of Elsie's German Bakery for what she expects will be an easy interview. But Reba finds herself returning to the bakery again and again, anxious to find the heart of the story--a story that resonates with her own turbulent past. For Elsie, Reba’s questions are a stinging reminder of that last bleak year of WWII. As the two women's lives become intertwined, both are forced to confront the uncomfortable truths of the past and seek out the courage to forgive.
