For tweens!
On a serious note - neat concept, maybe pick an interesting hook from a bunch of books to encourage kids to read them
On an unserious note - Paper. They taste like paper. Old paper.

I can't help but think of that episode of TNG with the following exchange:
Q: "What must I do to prove to you people that I'm mortal?"
Worf: "Die."
Q: "Oh, very good, Worf. Eat any good books lately?"
Hah, I had the exact same reaction
Never heard it called something like this, but it seems like an interesting idea. I assume they’re going to expose the kids to a bunch of books and hopefully pique their interest?
have a bunch of books that are age appropriate to 12 year olds, let them wander around and read the first few pages of each, and go "I want to finish this one" and check it out from the library? I hope that's what this is, that sounds the most sane.
I thought they'd have foods that were related to certain books, like a book with a prominent apple in it, here have some apple. But that feels more like something for 5 year olds.
Hah I kinda like the idea of tasting random foods from books. Sounds ridiculous, but who knows, might be fun!
I'll take the apple from Snow White please, hold the necrophiliac prince
A place near me does something like this
Heh. The world is a small place. I live very near here! I had no idea they were doing this! I’ll check it out.
I had no idea there were other bellinglemmings! (That doesn’t have the same ring to it)
Lemminghamster?
Much much better
that's what I said.
Yeah I know, I'm the person who commented saying I had the exact same reaction 😀 I'd made this comment before reading yours and just went "hah, figures I wasn't the only one"
Surprise everyone by bringing a grill!
Wait, they are allowed to? With how stupide media rights have gone.
I think libraries are still allowed to let people read the books, yes.
