Top Ten Tuesday - Authors I’d Love to Meet

Hello, dear readers! This week’s prompt from Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl is supposed to be about author’s I’ve met, and you might think with me working in a library that I would’ve met at least one by now, but sadly I have not. So, instead, here are ten author’s I WANT to meet. Happy Tuesday! 


(1). Kristin Hannah   (2). Kate Quinn   (3). Abby Jimenez   (4). Katherine Center   (5). Lucy Score   (6). Madeline Martin   (7). J.K. Rowling   (8). Fredrik Backman   (9). Christina Lauren   (10). Kristin Harmel

Top Ten Tuesday - Bookish Places I Want to Visit

Hello again, dear readers! Now that the chaos of my summer reading program at work is behind me, I hope I can start posting here more regularly. This week’s prompt from Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl is the top ten bookish destinations I have visited or would like to visit. (Links provided will take you to the websites). Since I can't recall any bookish places I've visited YET, here are my top ten bookish places I want to visit someday. Are any of these on your list? I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Recipe - Chocolate Banana Bread

INGREDIENTS: 
  • 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed 
  • 4 teaspoons neutral oil 
  • 1 ½ tablespoons egg whites 
  • 3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or sugar 
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour 
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 1 cup sugar free chocolate chips or chocolate chunks 
DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 8 1/2 X 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with oil. (You can place a piece of parchment paper about 8 1/2 x 9 inches inside the pan so it’s easy to remove). In a medium mixing bowl, combine bananas, oil, egg whites, sugar and vanillas. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt until combined. Fold in the banana mixture and chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and bake about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean. Remove from the loaf pan and let it cool 15 minutes before cutting. Slice in 10 slices.
