TTT: Books Featuring Yummy & Horrific Foodstuffs




Hey bookish friends, as usual I am taking the TTT and messing with it. Today's prompt is: Top Ten Yummy Foods Mentioned In Books (Does a character eat something you'd love? Or maybe the book takes place in a bakery/restaurant that makes yummy things? You could also talk about 10 of your favorite cookbooks if you don't read foody books.) 

 I'm throwing in a few choices that actually fit the theme and a few that, well, let's just say I'm throwing them in for another reason . . . 
Click on any cover to be whisked away to my review either here or at Goodreads.


Books That May Make You Hungry

I'm not even a big fan of the Oreo (unless they're filled with peanut butter or covered in dark chocolate) but this story made me desperately crave them because the characters gobbled them up so gleefully! Plus there's a cute dog. Go read it :)

Doggies need healthy snacks too and some of these smelled so good I was tempted to give them a taste.

Yum, this book is filled with so much deliciousness; homemade pizza and bread and so much more. I aspire to live this way when I no longer have to work for a living, win the lottery and can hire minions to do the backbreaking stuff because though I have lofty ideals I am a little lazy.

The kid on the cover here makes vegan cupcakes and I wanted to eat them all.

And speaking of vegan cupcakes, I can  make them for myself with this awesome cookbook but usually my laziness prevails. The chocolate peanut-butter cupcake is divine.


Books That Will Make You The Opposite of Hungry

This graphic novel (and short story) may put you off eating animal flesh for awhile. I still get nauseous thinking about it.

This is the book that put me off beef forever.

What this woman does with corn and a few manparts will either make you laugh or lose your lunch.

You'll never want to eat goat balls again but you probably weren't going to eat those anyway or were you?!

A thoroughly disturbing look at the future of Meat.

 You're welcome ;)

    Love your list and that dog on the doggy cookbook is adorable. I read Anyone But You a long time ago and still have my copy. I don't really pay attention to food in books so I kind of switched up this week's topic as well.

      Yeah, I rarely notice those kinds of things too. I only remember the Oreo because I read somewhere that dogs weren't supposed to eat them and they fed them to the doggie (if I'm remembering correctly). Fortunately he survived :)

    I never pay attention to what the characters eat in books. I do like Oreos! And Twinkies. And Ding Dongs. Love pizza and sushi too!

      The recipes I've tried have smelled fantastic and were easy to make. The dogs will eat anything but I'd like to think they prefer my homemade treats :)

    I don't even remember the oreos in the Crusie book. I do remember that dog though. I need to check out some of the other book on your list!

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
