Inspired by one of my favorite card games as well as my penchant for patterns, Spoons is where I seek out four-of-a-kinds in otherwise very different books; they may have, for example, characters with the same name, covers featuring the same object, stories about the same place, or brief mentions of jars of peanut butter.
Happy Friday! I have yet another food-related cover four-of-a-kind this week, one that will reveal the ingredients for making the perfect scrambled eggs (according to a variety of sources). Your breakfast (and your TBR list) will be changed forever. Are you ready?
- Eggs by Jerry Spinelli (Middle Grade) / A nine-year-old and a thirteen-year-old form an unlikely friendship in order to find solace in each other’s company through troubled times.
- Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages by Anne Mendelson (Non-Fiction) / A food history-cookbook about milk and dairy products. (My most likely-to-read book from this edition!)
- Butter by Erin Jade Lange (Young Adult) / Butter, an obese boy, gains surprising (and disturbing) popularity when he announces that he’s going do a live broadcast of him eating himself to death.
- Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky (Non-Fiction) / A book about world history tied together by salt. (Katie @ Doing Dewey considers this “an entertaining and educational read.”)
Do you have a better scrambled eggs recipe? Let me know!
Haha, wow, this is a brilliant post idea! I love it 🙂 Thanks for referencing my review!
Yay, glad you like it! 😀 And you’re welcome, I’m glad I found it while writing up this post!
How have I never heard of Butter before? That is such an incredibly disturbing synopsis!
I know, right?? It might be another one of those morbidly-fascinating-can’t-look-away books…
!!! I am really digging this ‘Spoons’ concept! And now I’ve added Milk and Salt to my TBR!
Glad you like it, Sarah! 😀
I love this one. Made me laugh. I only know about Eggs and Butter. Also I don’t use salt on scrambled eggs, my family uses cheese. 🙂
Oooh, cheese sounds yummy! I’ve never had my scrambled eggs with cheese, but now I want to try it! 😀
