Books and Raw Goodies

The Date: Thursday, November 11

The Delivery: Books and raw treats

Staff Pick: Blonde Macaroons, Chocolate Cherry Macadamia Cookies, Vanilla Crispies, and Buckwheat and Hemp Granola from One Lucky Duck

The DL: For a federal holiday, we certainly managed to receive a decent collection of goodies! Among the books (Comfortably Unaware, E3 For Life, and a gorgeous hardcover edition of the book we discussed in the VegNews Book Club last month, Animal Camp), but of course, our pick goes to the edibles. These raw goodies from One Lucky Duck in New York City are tantalizing in their adorable packaging and delicious-sounding varieties. The macaroons are especially tempting, much like the offerings in our brand-new VegNews Holiday Cookbook. Check it out!

My Year of Meats

The Date: Tuesday, November 2

The Delivery: A VegNews book club book

Staff Pick: My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki

The DL: We're sure that by now you've all heard of the awesome phenomenon known as the VegNews Book Club. We just finished reading Kathy Stevens' Animal Camp, culminating in a fascinating Q & A with the Catskill Animal Sanctuary founder and author, Stevens herself. This month, book club hostess and superstar VegNews Office Manager Lyndsay Orwig is leading us through the novel My Year of Meats. Our lunchtime conversation today revolved solely around this scintillating read, and when you dive in and join our discussion you'll understand why.

Books and Bags

The Date: Friday, October 8

The Delivery: Books and eco-friendly bags

Staff Pick: Dogs and the Women Who Love Them by Allen and Linda Anderson

The DL: We're five women in the office today accompanied by three chihauhuas, so this book just kind of picked itself. Really though, who can deny the inevitable bond that develops between a dog and his/her biggest fan? The irresistible pup on the cover alone is going to sell this book. What's that? You also love stories about adorable animals? Well, you're in the right place, as the VegNews Book Club hosted by VN Office Manager Lyndsay Orwig is currently reading Animal Camp by Kathy Stevens, a book filled with heartwarming sanctuary success stories. Because everybody's Fridays should be filled with cute animals.

Animal Lovin'

The Date: Tuesday, June 8

The Delivery: Two snazzy bags from Calico Dragon, a compassionate book, and some sunflower seed and grain snacks from Somersault Snack Co.

The DL: Stevens is the founder of Catskill Animal Sanctuary in the state of New York, and she's also featured in the May+June issue of VegNews. We always love to see compassionate titles hitting the book stands. Check out this one in September!
