Rainbow Crate Books as Cookies.

My favorite reads from Rainbow Crate as my favorite cookies. Unfortunately I am not able to do EVERY COOKIE. Chocolate chip 
Taste notes
Nostalgic. Reliable. Classic. Comforting. Safe.
Picture of a partially eaten chocolate chip. Of Love and Libraries by Brenna Bailey.

There's something so cozy about reconnecting, rekindling, and rediscovering your passions. Set in a small town during fall this like a queer seasonal hallmark movie. Great for new readers to Rainbow Crate.
