 The idea behind Book Tasting is simple... you sample books instead of food!

 

*Take 5-7 minutes to peruse all tables and categories

 

*Choose a table to have a “tasting” at (i.e. Fantasy, Realistic, Sports, Romance, etc.)

 

*Pick three books to “taste” (one at each table)~ read the back of the book/summary, read couple of pages of first chapter, look at the cover

 

*Complete your menu on the three books you tasted

 

*Rate the book 1 out of 5 chef hats  (1- no interest at all!, 5- I need to read this now!)

 

*Check-out the book (if you find one you like) & grab a bookmark :)

 

*Please place books back in assigned categories when you finished “Tasting”
