Our book club read A Court of Thorns and Roses and had our meeting last night - I tried to think of food to bring that had anything to do with the theme but was blank, then my sis suggested salami roses! Perfect - that led me to make a charcuterie board centered around salami roses (note I tucked in some mint leaves resembling a rose) - I added some chopped up jerky, star shaped pieces of cheese (cut with cookie cutters), marinated artichokes (that seemed sort of like a thorny thing haha), along with some olives and breadsticks. Turned out so cute!
We were split on liking the book or not - half (myself included ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) loved it and are currently working our way thru books #2 - #5, the other half were not fans of the fantasy genre. Wikipedia's blurb for book #1 is this, but it's a lot more than this and much more interesting than this synopsis haha:
Nineteen-year-old Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, and a beast-like creature demands punishment for it. She is taken to the land of the faerie, Prythian, by her captor, Tamlin, who is an immortal faerie. She comes to live with him at his estate in the Spring Court. Feyre learns that he is a High Lord of Prythian, and eventually realizes that what she has previously learnt about the dangerous faerie world is false.
