#1 A Book About a Hobby or Craft There are lots of possibilities for this category! Many cozy mysteries feature crafts--the amateur detective may find clues in her quilting circle, or solve a mystery by chatting with customers at a yarn or fabric store. Other fiction novels may also use the craft as a way to bond or to connect with the past. The library also has a large collection of nonfiction craft books on the second floor. If you are thinking of trying a new craft, here is an opportunity to check out a book on a craft new to you! You could also try a memoir written by someone whose hobby or craft became an important part of life. There are many books that will fit this category, see below for just a few!
