Top Ten Tuesday | Favorite Things to Eat/Drink While Reading
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 easyCrackers and cheese - I actually mean saltines and American cheese, which is probably...
Top Ten Tuesday | Book Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s topic is “Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday (Real or Fictional),” suggested by Nandini @ Unputdownable Books. Here’s my list. I'm going to ignore that most of these have either been canceled or took place online this year. I have to assume that they'll all be back in a year or two, especially since several happen in places I'd love to visit.

Top Ten Tuesday | Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s topic is “Authors I’ve read the most books by.” I don’t know if I can be accurate with this one. I'm just going by my Goodreads account, so obviously that won't count books I read before 2006-ish.
There are some obvious authors that won't make this list that should be included like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Carolyn Keene (who I know is not actually one person, but that's okay), and Francine Pascal. Mary Pope Osborne should be on the list because of all the books I read with Amber when she was little. There are some that will be on the list like Janet Evanovich who are not actually favorite authors, just easy reads. Also, the number I show for Agatha Christie is not really accurate; I've read almost all of hers over the years, but not all recently.
