*Top Ten Tuesday* Thanksgiving Freebie



Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Joood - Hooligan of Platypire reviews bossed me into doing this, so I guess this is a thing I do now. 

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


A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain


The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom


The New Hunger by Isaac Marion


Baker Towers by Jennifer Haigh


Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros


The Cider House Rules by John Irving



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

  2. Great 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 :)

  3. I 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.

  8. Hmm, 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!

  10. Potatoes 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 :)

    Happy TTT!

  11. So 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.
