Books that Make Me Hungry

Books that Make Me Hungry

September 1, 2020 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 11 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that make me hungry. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

If you don’t know I love to cook. It’s one of my favourite things to do. I love cooking and trying all new things. So whenever there is food in books. I’m kinda all there. So today I’m sharing the books that have made me hungry. And in saying that, it doesn’t take much. Like always these are in no order. 

The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim: There should be no surprise that this one has made it onto my list. Not only is this a fabulous book. It makes me so hungry. And hungry for one of my favourite foods. I love dumplings. When things were normal Ely and I would go out for dumplings very regularly. I just love it. 

Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu: If these graphic novels don’t make you hungry then I don’t know what will. And these are worse because there are visuals. I’m not even a big pie person, but gosh damn these books make me hungry. 

Humbugged (Happy Cat #4) by Pippa Grant and Lili Valente: While I didn’t love this book. It did make me really hungry. But I guess that’s what happens when the protagonist works in a bakery. 

Bittersweet (True North #1) by Sarina Bowen: While also loving this book a lot. This book and in reality this whole series always makes me hungry. And most of the time it’s just fruit, but Bowen just makes me want to eat it all. There are also some other amazing foods mentioned. And I love it. 

Ride Hard (Raven Riders #1) by Laura Kaye: Haven makes so much food in this book that I just want to eat it all. Again it’s more on the sweet side. But I don’t care. I just want it all.

Marked (Sailor’s Grave #1) by Drew Elyse: What is it with protagonists working in a bakery? But you know what I don’t care. This book makes me hella hungry. I just think about the cupcakes all the time. 
Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler: If you can’t tell by the cover alone that this book will make you hungry, I don’t know what to say. I love this book so much. And I love how food plays a part in this novel. If you haven’t read this one, or anything Sarah Ockler, please do. 

Frankie by Shivaun Plozza: I mean out protagonist lives about a kebab shop. I think that is all that needs to be said. Kebabs are one of my favourite foods out there and this just makes me hungry. And crave a kebab even more. 

Heartless by Marissa Meyer: This is another one of these books, that while I didn’t love the book. It sure did make me hungry. I loved how good was explored and described in this one a lot. 

 

And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday? What are books that make you hungry? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
