Top Ten Tuesday-- Books With Food

Top Ten Tuesday is a really cool original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and The Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten List that bloggers join in on answering... and today (October 17th) I'm one of them :)

Today's Topic

Top Ten Books That Make Me Hungry





1.  Heartless by Marissa Meyer

  • This book made me SO hungry.  I don't even like lemon flavored food that much, but I was CRAVING those tarts for sure!!

2.  Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller

  • Callie moves in with her bio-dad and is exposed to his giant Greek family-- and they eat a lot of Greek food that sounds delicious!

3.  Crash (Visions #1) by Lisa McMann

  • The Agnotti's and the DeMarco's own Italian restaurants, and I have to stop talking about it now because I'm craving carbs...

4.  Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

  • So much food in Harry Potter and I want to eat it all!!!  Butterbeer, pumpkin juice, chocolate frogs, pumpkin pasties, cauldron cakes-- and then there are all the feasts in the Great Hall.  So. Much. Food.

5.  From What I Remember... by Stacy Kramer & Val Thomas

  • Kylie and Max find themselves in small town Mexico and eat a lot of really awesome sounding food.





6.  To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

  • Cookies, donuts, desserts, Korean food-- SO making me hungry!!

7.  The Best Kind of Magic by Crystal Cestari

  • Amber wants to be a professional baker, so you can imagine there are a LOT of desserts in this book.

8.  Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews

  • Okay, so the food in this book is the exception to this list.  It definitely did NOT make me hungry!!  Greg's dad is an adventurous eater-- ostrich sausage, yak tripe, and dried cuttlefish just for examples :(

9.  Final Girls by Riley Sager

  • Quincy is a dessert blogger and bakes to help with her anxiety-- and being a horror novel, you can imagine there is a lot of anxiety.

10.  Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler

  • The foodiest YA book around.  You cannot read this book without wanting to visit a bakery or make your own cupcakes.  Example-- Friend of the Devil Cupcakes: red velvet devil's food cupcakes topped with red, orange, and yellow swirled buttercream icing peaks and a thin red apple curl.





I love food in books, but I'm also super lazy about cooking and baking-- so sometimes I get really hungry and sad when I read about all this yummy goodness!!

What food books made your list??

  10. All the Boys Before series is the first thing I thought of and I couldn't agree more. I have such a sweet tooth :D

  11. Heartless definitely made me hungry as did Harry Potter! I wish I'd like Final Girls enough to finish it because Quincy's baked goods sounded amazing.

  12. Apparently I'm super bad at remembering food in books. HP didn't even come to mind! I've read THE BEST KIND OF MAGIC, but I didn't remember the MC wanting to be a pastry chef at all. Gah! I must be getting old ...

    Happy TTT!

  19. I love Greek food. I have to check out that book. We have a few books in common this week too. I couldn't imagine leaving Lara Jean off my list, and I loved all the cupcakes in Bittersweet. Me and Earl had the weirdest food, but the Pho sounded good.
