Putting a Book on Hold at the library

The delight of a “package arrived” notification, but for free! Lately I’ve been doing this with cookbooks I’ve been wanting to try and it’s a double-whammy of goodness: the dopamine hit of the book arrival, plus some yummy new recipe to make.

You know that dopamine hit that arrives when you get a delivery in the mail? How about getting that sweet, sweet rush for FREE by placing a book on hold at the library?! So many books are delivered within the week. Plus, the anticipation of the hot current books? When they pop up in a couple months, get READY to enjoy!

That is such a good idea! Have you made any good dishes?

Yes! This cookie! https://cherrybombe.com/blogs/recipes/nancy-sil... Which technically I didn’t need the cookbook for but I didn’t know that so only found out about it because it’s the flagship cookie in The Cookie That Changed My Life cookbook by Nancy Silvertob
