This week’s theme is Thanksgiving Freebie. And if you know anything about me when it comes to Top Ten Tuesday freebie posts, then you know I'm off to Netgalley for another round of Netgalley Request Roulette, right? WRONG! I've gotten myself in enough hot water playing that little game, and I'm taking a break from Netgalley (right up until the next email with really good looking read now books at least). But that doesn't mean I've got nothing for Top Ten Tuesday this week. It just took a little more thought on my part, and a quick peek at my bookshelves.
See, when I think about Thanksgiving, I think about eating, so I figured why not feature some books with titles that also make me think about eating. Here we go.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
And there you have it, the first ten books I found on my bookshelves with titles that make me think about eating. I didn't even get close to my Joanna Fluke section! I could have built this whole post with her books alone (except I try real hard to not feature the same author twice in a single Top Ten Tuesday list).
What books make you think about eating? Or what's your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? Not that I need any more ideas for sides because I'm already making six sides for my meal to include three different kinds of potatoes (and there are only going to be four of us eating it!)
If you're stopping by from the linkup, please be sure to drop a link to your post below so I can be sure to stop by and pay you a visit when I can find the time (probably Friday because I am going to be busy with Thanksgiving prep right up until we're stuffing our faces on Thursday). - Katie
Great spin! I haven't heard of any of these.

Having thousands of books and a wide range of interest has come in so handy for some of these prompts. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteGreat list! I think about eating all the time, regardless of the occasion so I love this idea so much. I haven't read any of these books, but Revenge, Ice-Cream, And Other Things Best Served Cold looks amazing :)

I also often think about eating. It just gets worse when books start talking about really tasty sounding foods. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteI understand the feelings about NetGalley! I'm proud to say I'm done with my ARCs for this year. But I have a pile waiting for next year, but I'm trying to take the time and read some of the books I own.

I am in awe of people who half self-control on Netgalley. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteEats, Shoots, and Leaves was a good read.

I still need to read it. I'll get there eventually, probably, maybe. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteReading about food is frustrating because I always want to be eating it!
ReplyDeleteI've legit made a Thanksgiving dinner in like June because I was reading a book that featured a Thanksgiving feast making me want one. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteJust looking at the book covers of your list makes me feel hungry.
ReplyDeleteThankfully I'd eaten just before building this post, so it didn't make me hungry. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteA great idea for a list. I love reading books that feature food. I did a list last year maybe 🤔 with foodie books.
ReplyDeleteThree lots of potato sounds yummy Enjoy!
Have a great week!

I have a love/hate relationship with reading books about food. They tend to make me want to eat, and I already eat more than I should. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteHmm, this post has me feeling a bit peckish. I might need to search out a midnight snack 🤭 I don't have that Bourdain book on my TBR but I do have his Kitchen Confidential and I'm looking forward to reading it. Great list and take on the topic today!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Confidential would've worked for my take on the topic too...but it's not the one I found on my shelf first. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteA Cook's Tour sounds like a great read!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about it, haven't read it yet myself. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeletePotatoes are my favorite food! I'm making a sweet potato casserole and my friend is doing the mashed potatoes. What kinds are you doing?? Four different potato sides is very impressive :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I did sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and cheesy potatoes. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteSo many books make me think about setting. There is always a lot of food in Amish romances. I also love books set in bakeries. A Cook’s Tour looks like something I’d enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the food in Amish romances is also that good home cooking type food too. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteFun take on this week's TTT! :D I hope you have a delightful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving was great. Thanks. And thank you for stopping by. - Katie
