Guess where I snuck off to this afternoon? The Edible Book Festival at the University of Texas’ Collections Deposit Library. I was only there for a little bit but got to see some very funny stuff. Here take a look:
The Count of Monte Cristo
Waiting for Godot
and how about On the Road
If you’ve never heard about the International Book Festival check out this site to get the scoop.
Also, you can check out the virtual book festival held by the Etsy Bookbinding Team. In case you are wondering, no I didn’t make anything. I think I’ve told you guys that all I can make is a bowl of cereal so no cooking/baking creations from this Bookgirl. heh.

Too funny. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Sounds like lots of fun! Thanks for sharing the pics, Iliana! 🙂
Creative and bookish~ Glad you had time to get away.
That is hilarious! Some people are so creative…thanks for sharing this with us!
I love those creations…I wonder how edible they actually are and if people eat them once the festival is completed. Thanks for sharing this with us.
My alma mater (SLIS at University of Alabama) had their Edible Book Festival this week as well! Such a cool thing. Thanks for the pictures!
Cute! It looks like it was so much fun. Thanks for sharing.
Care – Aren’t they great!
Stephanie – There was another one that was just great but as it was outside it was hard to get a good pic… Love in the time of Cauliflower 🙂
Melody – It was. I didn’t stay very long though so I’m sure I missed out on more. It looked like they were still setting up.
Isabel – Very creative stuff!
Sandy – I know they really came up with some great puns.
Serena (Savvy Verse & Wit) – I don’t know that I’d want to try some of them – hahah…
Tiffany – How fun. I know a University near Dallas used to have a festival too but I could never go as it was a bit far and during work hours so I’m glad I finally got to see the real deal 🙂
aka Nik – They did a great job didn’t they!
I wish I could have been there! I love the possum. Knowing how to cook is overrated! =)
Thanks for these pictures — how delightful! What a great idea for a book festival.

How fun, Iliana! I especially like the “Waiting for Good Dough”.
Those pictures are great!
These are hilarious, looks as though it was a LOT of fun!
lol! I love those 😀
Now that is neat! I don’t blame you for sneaking off 🙂
Those are hilarious! I love humor that plays on words, and/or uses visual puns. If something like this happened in my area there is no way I could resist going.
Very funny, and very creative! Looks like this was fun. I wonder what that roadkill cake tasted like…
Vasilly – I agree about the cooking 🙂
Mindy W. – Isn’t it great? I just love all the creativity about it!
tanabata – They made me smile so I had to share 🙂
Literary Feline – That was my favorite too 🙂
Jess – Glad you like ’em 🙂
Claire – I just wonder what I might have missed out on. When I left there were still a few empty spots.
Nymeth – So cute right 🙂
Ladytink_534 – I should have stayed for the whole event but didn’t want to get caught in traffic so I left early. Oh well, maybe next year I should just ride the bus down there 🙂
Carl V. – I know, it’s just wonderful. Of course today I’ve been thinking of what I could submit next year – haha…
Gentle Reader – The roadkill had oreos! So I guess it was yummy 🙂
How fantastic! Funny, creative, edible and bookish, what could be better than that?
What fun! There is something both hilarious and disturbing about On the Road.
Michelle – I totally agree 🙂
Stefanie – I know, right? I shouldn’t laugh but you kinda can’t help it!
Book and food, my two passions in life! 🙂
