Here’s where we are scheduled to be so far this month. Be sure to let us know if you have any requests for other potential locations you’d like us to be! Also, remember to listen to KBMF 102.5, Mondays at 5PM, for Free Samples of Local Literature!

The Duolingo app is winning over many populations, but I – personally- find a good old fashioned, paper language book a super handy complement to a daily Duolingo session. The mental💡clicks on as I scan pages detailing verb conjugation, “Ah- that’s why Duo wants me to translate ‘I eat’ that way,” and realize with horrorContinue reading “Italian, For Dummies”

Kingsolver writes nonfiction, too! This is about her family trying to eat 100% locally grown food for a year. I love it, and motivates me to emulate her goal as much as I can -without having to move to a climate with a 9-month gardening season. In one chapter, her family travels (including to Italy!)Continue reading “Animal, Mineral, Miracle”

You’ll never guess it, but -as much as we all love Julia Roberts- the book is better than the movie. The book is… deeper… yet still such an easy, entertaining read… there’s really no reason not to give this memior a try. And her description of eating pizza in Napoli is The reason we’re goingContinue reading “Eat, Pray, Love”

The first three weeks in June, our family will be taking vacation, and our week of quarantine is making it so I can’t train my substitute! So, the Story Lorry will be parked until JuneContinue reading “Sick Story Lorry!?!”

I’ve started reading “free samples” of books written by Montana authors on KBMF 102.5 FM -aired Mondays between 5PM and 6PM, during their News Hour. If you missed it, listen here!  And remember, if you like what you hear, you can get a full length copy of the book at the How Novel Story Lorry!Continue reading “Free Sample of Sammie’s Strawberry”

There is a very limited number of this book left as the publisher is going to stop printing it for awhile, so if you like this sample, be sure to get your copy from the How Novel Story Lorry while you can!
