Favorite Things to Eat / Drink While Reading
Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
I will very frequently use some food and drinks as props in bookstagram posts, since I traditionally post more “in the moment” photos than pre-planned and posed ones. I’m too lazy but appreciate those who take the time to make things pretty! In any case, I thought I’d highlight some bookstagram posts that feature food and drinks that I’ve enjoyed consuming while reading!
(1) Of course, coffee!
Scrolling through my feed, this is very clearly the most frequent drink. I mostly drink with hot coffee in the morning before work or on the weekends, curled up in bed.

(2) Lobster roll and pineapple soda
This is a random one but I loved grabbing lunch with Chris a month or so ago, while trying to complete my lobster roll bucket list for the summer. I was waiting for him to come out for his break so I took a picture with my current read.

(3) Seltzer water
While doing Weight Watchers, I started to force myself to like seltzer water. There are some great flavors I grew to enjoy, so this was a common beverage over the last year for me to read a book with.

(4) Iced mocha latte (I think lol)
As I showed before, I always drink coffee while reading – however, this was a fancy iced coffee or latte when we were out and about. Chris was skating at a new park and we were able to pop by a local coffeeshop on the way there for me to get a nice drink.

(5) Ice cream
I love reading on the couch with an ice cream in my lap! This is one of those high protein, low calorie ones, because those were the least amount of WW points. They’re not great overall but I adored this flavor lol.

(6) Popcorn
Chris and I went through a big popcorn phase, making a bag while watching wrestling or something on TV. I tend to curl up with a bowl on the couch while reading too, especially if RAW is on.

(7) Spiked hot chocolate with whipped cream
This was a spiked hot chocolate we made one afternoon at work, thanks to a client gift, but I looooove hot chocolate while reading a holiday romance! The taste just makes me so happy and cozy and full of Christmas cheer. It’s my favorite.

(8) Fancy donut
We went down to the southern part of CT to get this donut specifically for this photo challenge! We made a day trip of it, of course, but it was still all for the bookstagram.

(9) Starbucks favorites: pink drink and lemon pound cake
This is my go-to Starbucks order when it’s not pumpkin season! I love the pink drink (#basic) and their lemon pound cake is my FAVORITE. I haven’t had it in a long time and really need to have it again now that I’m seeing this picture…

(10) Panera salad
I used to grab lunch from Panera constantly for lunch. Typically I’d get a You Pick Two with a salad and sandwich or soup. This picture was taken on the library’s front lawn, where I’d frequently read in years past. I should get back into this habit.

Love the photos. Just followed you on insta! Popcorn is truly the perfect snack to eat while reading.
Okay, your entire list is making me so hungry. Popcorn is a great snack, too.
My TTT.
I literally just had lunch, but reading through this post makes me want more food lol. I usually just drink coffee or la croix while I’m reading just because I’m not good at multitasking and eating and reading at the same time.
