"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at "The Broke and the Bookish".
It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to
share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of
other bloggers who share their lists here.
This week's topic is Halloween Freebie
I have done a Halloween TTT before (see here).
So, I'm going down the "Freebie" line.
Don't
you think about food in the colder months? I know most people eat a lot
more once the sun isn't there all the time and families gather for
celebrations.
So, this is my topic this week. Books with food on their cover.

This looks like an international feast, after all, there are British, American, Turkish, Dutch and German books. "Guten Appetit", as we say in German.
Those are some yummy looking covers
ReplyDeleteI know, aren't they? Thanks, Tee.
DeleteI eat a lot more when it gets cold. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pizza one!
I think we all do, Greg. It's probably because we need more fuel to get warm.
DeleteI definitely ate a lot more when I lived somewhere cold! Ah, comfort food. I see Mary Berry's book on your list and I love Mary Berry! 😍
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Dini. I was sad when she left the Great British Bake-Off though I also love Prue. And your observation is completely true. When it's hot in the summer, I can just have a salad for the whole day and am happy.
DeleteI've focused on the freebie part too this TTT week, and I'm totally on board with books with food on the covers. Ahem, they are "food for thought"! ;D Who moved my cheese -- an old landmark book, isn't it? I'm sorry to say I've still not read it, but one day I shall.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Lex, looking forward to your post.
DeleteAnd yes, food for thought is a good comment. A lot of them have something with food in there, as well. Especially "Voracious" which is all about books with food.
Anyway, "Who moved my cheese?" is totally worth reading. Enjoy.
Gotta love food on covers! I like the pizza one especially :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsey, it's a great book for children that I still have from the time my kids were little.
DeleteOkay, I'm officially hungry now and want a pizza the size of the sun!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Lisa, that wasn't my intention. But Pizza is always a good answer to hunger.
DeleteFun list! The only one of these book that I've read is Five Quarters of the Orange. And while it's not my favorite Joanne Harris book, I did like it.
ReplyDeleteSame here about Joanne Harris, Lark. It just offered itself for this topic. And it was fun doing it.
DeleteWell, now I’m hungry. Good thing dinner is almost ready. :)
ReplyDeleteMy list— https://fiftytwo.blog/2021/10/26/ttt-book-covers-that-were-scarier-than-the-book/
Happy TTT!
Lori
Heehee, Lori, you're not the only one. Hope you enjoyed your dinner.
DeleteI see from your link that you kept with the topic, I will enjoy that.
Yum! I love seeing delicious-looking food on book covers. Especially delectable baked goods.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I'm glad you like the baked goods as much as I do, Susan. I love baking. When I lived in the UK, nobody baked except for me and another German friend and my English friends always said, oh, you Germans are so good ad baking. Now, after the Great British Bake-Off started, everyone seems to bake. I think that's great.
DeleteI've read The House of the Seven Sisters a few years ago. And you can't go wrong with a Mary Berry cookbook!
ReplyDeletePam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Defnitely not, Pam. She is the Queen of the Kitchen.
DeleteAnd now I'm hungry and craving pizza or cheese!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Deanna. Maybe I gave you an idea for dinner there. LOL
DeleteIt's hard to go wrong with food themed titles :)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. Not all of those books are about food but the titles all look yummy.
DeleteWell, these have some delicious looking food on them! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them, Poinsettia. And thanks for your link.
DeleteI love Jack Prelutsky so much. A few years ago when I still had my own classroom, one of our reading rotations was called 'Poetry Slam'. Kids picked a poem and practiced all week. They could perform with a partner, sing, rap, whatever. We used his books a lot because they're just so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great, Sarah. I am sure the kids had a lot of fun and you awakened some poetry and language lovers there.
DeleteIt was really inspiring to see how the kids chose to share their poems. It is one of my most favorite things I have ever done with my class. Especially because I had kids who would not really have exposure to poetry otherwise. I hope at least one of them found they loved the genre.
DeleteI am sure they did and will remember you forever.
DeleteThese books look delicious! I eat a lot more during the fall and winter because that's when all the good holiday food shows up. I'm eating Halloween candy right now. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, AJ, all the holidays don't help, LOL. Even if we plan not to repeat it, especially Christmas seems to be one feast day after the other where we eat enough for the whole year.
DeleteEnjoy your Halloween candy.
