24 Read-a-Thon Reading Challenge: On Food and Books (Hour 9)



 
Hello everyone and welcome to this mini-challenge. How is it going? Feeling tired yet? How about hungry? 

It has happened to all of us. We are reading our book and then they talk about food; food that is described so perfectly that you start to salivate. It might be an actual dish like every chapter of Like for Chocolate, it might be fantastic and sadly not real like the carnival food of The Night Circus. The later are my favorite since it inspires me to try something different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So here is the challenge my fellow Read-a-Thoners: Make a post where you will share your best "book-inspired" recipe and explain its origin, inspiration, etc. Be as original as you want; as whimsical as you feel. If you do not have a blog, don't worry, just leave your entry on the comments down here :)

Leave your name and the link to your post in the Rafflecopter down here. The winner will get 20CAD gift card from Book Outlet (or if they don't deliver to your country we will find an alternative :)). This challenge will be open for the next 3 hours, hence finishing at the beginning of hour 12


Hope you have fun!

My laptop died :/ I guess it was about time, it has been 4 years of a lot of usage. Luckily I have my desktop, but I was so comfy not moving out of my chair for the last 8 hours...oh well. Reading is going well...but my coughing is getting annoying. It feels like I've been doing crunches all day
