Top Ten Tuesday has been hard for the last few weeks!
I don’t read a lot of foodie books, so instead I’m making a list of books that make me think about food. When eating dinner makes me think of something I read.
These are the top ten!
1, 2, & 3 – Winston Brothers
by Penny Reid
These Winston Brothers are all about the food! There’s all kinds of pie, and dinners, and side items. There’s the Banana Cake Queen! But there’s nothing that stands out as much as Cletus’s sausage. Cletus’s sausage is the best sausage I’ve ever read about.
I’ll never think of sausage the same way again.
4, 5 & 6 – Hudson Valley
by Alice Clayton
Food food and more food! You’ve got Nuts, which is about a self-sustainable farm. It’s also got Zombie Pickle classes, and sugar snaps. Cream of the Crop is all about the cheese! Yummy delicious brie! And buns, it’s all about the hot cross buns!
7 & 8 – Heroine Complex
by Sarah Kuhn
I wouldn’t say that this is a foodie series, but I can say that I’ll never look at cupcakes or Lucky Charms again the same way.
9 – Radiance
by Grace Draven
With Radiance, it’s all about the potatoes. I love potatoes, but the way Brishen described them left an impression. Now, while I enjoy them, I can’t help but think of this series.
10 – Lover Eternal
by J.R. Ward
There are two specific scenes in Lover Eternal that left altered my food perception. First, every time I eat a maraschino cherry I imagine a certain tying the stem around his fang with his tongue. And, of course, ice cream. I will always equate ice cream with sun burn.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
Haha Wendy I would have many difficulties doing this one too as I don’t read books about food either. It was very interesting to read how you came out of it LOL

Yeah, I had a hard time coming up with anything for this topic. I finally went with book covers that have food on them because that was WAY easier 🙂
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

It was SO hard. Probably one of the hardest. Especially for people who aren’t into cookbooks.
