We Explore: The United States of Literature

Thanksgiving has come and gone (I know, right?), which means that the holiday season is upon us now with all of its trappings: pumpkin spice lattes, mall traffic, snow angels, and tryptophan. This is also the busiest travel time of the year, with people going every which way across our great nation. Of course, as any reader knows, books allow you to travel without the pleasure of experiencing DIA's cattle drive in your socks. And for those of us who will be stuck in planes, trains, and automobiles over the coming weeks, maybe you'll finally have time to unwind with a good book.

There is something about winter weather that makes me want to cook and bake.  When it gets cold outside I start to dream about soups and stews, casseroles and all kinds of yummy meals.  I start to browse cookbooks and collect ingredients for my favorite cookies.  If you are at all like me, we have a great week coming up for Engage Programming.
