Literary Starbucks: Fresh-Brewed, Half-Caf, No-Whip Bookish Humor by Nora Anderson Katz
4.0
When I heard about this book, I had to get it. I love Starbucks and I love books, so this is the best of both worlds.
In this book, many beloved authors and literary characters go into Starbucks and order coffee. Each order matches either their life, story, or writing style. These were so clever and accurate! Here are some of my favourites:
“Mary Ann Evans goes up to the counter and gives her name as George Eliot.”
“Jack London goes up to the counter with twelve sled dogs in tow.”
“Atticus Finch goes up to the counter and orders the one drink on the menu that no one else was brave enough to get.”
One negative thing about this book was that there were a lot of authors or characters that I had never heard of, or I didn’t know enough about them to understand the jokes. But the ones that I did understand made me laugh out loud.
This is a great book for book lovers!
