Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today is freebie. I’m going with my Top Ten Favorite Things to Eat/Drink while reading. I was just telling Amber that there ar a couple of readathons coming up in August, so this is also a good chance to think about snacks for those.
- Coffee – Starbucks’ Veranda Blend to be specific. I love warm drinks any time of year. And lately, my hands have been feeling achy so the hot mug helps.
- Hot chocolate – See above, but with chocolate that won’t melt on your fingers.
- Pizza – “Steubenville style” is best when reading. Not too greasy and you can order it by the piece.
- Spaghetti with marinara sauce – Will always be on any of my top ten food lists. It’s my favorite meal, period.
- Warm cinnamon rolls with vanilla ice cream (and maybe caramel sauce) – Delicious!
- Popcorn – Quick and easy
- Crackers and cheese – I actually mean saltines and American cheese, which is probably not everyone’s choice.
- Dr. Pepper & Cream Soda – Have you had this yet? It might be my new favorite pop, since I can’t find Cherry Vanilla Pepsi anymore.
- Jalapeno poppers – Sounds like the perfect thing to pick up for Dewey’s 24-hr Reverse Readathon. It happens on a game night, so the folks we have over can share them too.
- Apple turnovers – I try to always have a couple of these in the freezer.
What are your favorite foods/drinks to have while you’re reading?
Yesssssss! Another food and drink post. Mine has a similar theme this week! I love pizza while reading! I will never say no to coffee!
My TTT: https://ichlese.blog/2020/07/28/top-ten-tuesday-my-favorite-seasonal-book-movie-sustenance-pairings/.
Ah, you took the seasonal route. What a fun idea.
Thank you! Mostly, I am yearning for all those seasonal foods 😉
Hi, I would love to subscribe to your blog, other than by email. I am having a hard time finding a “follow” button. Did you disable that by any chance?
I didn’t have a wordpress follow button; it’s not default. I went ahead and added one since maybe you’re not the only one looking.
Hah, awesome!!!!!
Hah, awesome!!!!! I try not to subscribe my email because I get so many emails already it would just get lost!
You must be a lot neater than I am. I am usually reading paper books and I would spill all over them. If I read in the day I drink tea while reading, and sometimes cheese and crackers. But all of that food sounded good.
I read a lot of e-books and the kindle is petty easy to prop up so I can read and not worry too much.
Now you’ve made me hungry!
I love what you did with this week’s freebie 🙂
Honestly, I think I may need to pick up pizza in the next day or so.
I’m all about the coffee while I’m reading! Or possibly a glass of wine in the evening. That pizza looks AMAZING though!
Here’s my TTT
Actually, I guess I like coffee when I’m doing pretty much anything, except maybe working outside in summer.
I love eating pistachios while reading, and also ice cream!
I’m not much of a nut lover.
I always read while I eat, but I’m super clumsy so I’m forever staining my books with food and water drops. Oops!
Happy TTT!

I guess that’s one of the benefits of mostly reading e-books – things wipe off.
I love to drink a good cup of tea while I read. Or coffee. And chooclate is always my favourite snack! 🙂
I’ve tried to drink tea, but just don’t enjoy it.
Each to their own, I guess. I buy blended teas, which gives them all a slightly unique taste. I don’t tend to drink regular black tea anymore because I find it boring! 🙂
I typically only drink when reading cause I don’t want to get any food on my precious books hehe 😀
Here’s my TTT if you want to take a look https://readwithstefani.com/10-books-i-want-to-read-by-the-end-of-2020/
I’m actually more likely to spill it on the couch than on my book.
I rarely eat while reading, but I do love a good book and some potato chips or M&Ms.
I had a bag of M&Ms in the cupboard I was saving. I had to break into them yesterday.
Suddenly feeling in need of a hot chocolate, can’t think why
Food, drinks, reading and me really isn’t a good combination – I’m far too messy for that – but if I were to do so a bar of chocolate, a mug of hot chocolate and one of Mr T’s strawberry and banana milkshakes would definitely feature on my Top Ten things to eat/drink whilst reading
Ooh, a strawberry and banana milkshake sounds yummy.
Oh No. Now I want pizza! And jalapeno poppers, which I think I’ve only had once, but which I constantly almost get at the grocery store, convince myself not to buy because salt + fat content, and then regret not indulging myself in, just once.
And…WAIT, THERE’S A DR. PEPPER & CREAM SODA?? I don’t usually like DP but I never got a chance to try Cherry Vanilla Pepsi and I am desperate.
Finally, dying at this: “I actually mean saltines and American cheese, which is probably not everyone’s choice.” Yeah, definitely not my preferred choices for this snack, But I do like both of those things separately, so no judgment. You found the cost-effective life hack.
Not a bad choice on the list, really. I did this topic last September.
But then I pay extra for the box of saltines with like eight small sleeves instead of two long ones. I don’t want them to get stale.
