Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson with Gigi Howard
Welcome back Libration Nation! Today, I’m excited to share one of my recent favorites: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. This delightful tale is a blend of humor, adventure, and sweetness, following a young woman on a perilous quest to save the man she loves. As we embrace the cozy vibes of autumn, I thought it was the perfect time to dive into this enchanting fantasy.
Joining me today is my husband, Bill, making his fourth appearance on Drinks in the Library. As always, we have a great time riffing and cracking each other up!
Tress loves a salty tea, so I wanted to go with a salty drink and went with a Salted Caramel Coffee Martini, for a non-alcoholic option a Salted Caramel Latte would be perfect!
Salted Caramel Coffee Martini
1 oz Bailey's Salted Caramel Cream
1.5 oz. Vanilla Vodka
1-2 oz. Coffee or Espresso
Ice
Whipped Cream, Salt, or caramel syrup (optional)
Pour Bailey's, vodka, and coffee into a shaker over ice. Shake and pour into chilled martini glass
• 2. Garnish with cream, salt, and chocolate syrup and enjoy!
NA Option - A cold Brew Salted Caramel Latte would be perfect!

Mistborn with Beka Castagna
Hello Libration Nation! This week’s episode features librarian Beka Castagna as we discuss her latest fantasy obsession, the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Beka walks me through the premise of the book, its characters, and the series role as one of the biggest-name fantasy series on the market. We also discuss this Wired article, which was my entree into the insanely complicated world of who Brandon Sanderson is and what it’s like to be a Brandon Sanderson fan (did you know he lives in an underground castle?!)
