Welcome Readers and Cheerleaders! You’ve made it to hour 5. That is fantastic! Your probably need a little break and some fun right about now, so this one is for you – and you have from 12PM EST – 4PM EST, 4 hours, to do it. After that I will choose two winners at random; the first winner selected will receive a prize pack of 3 ARCs and the latest novel by Joe Nesbo, The Devil’s Star. The ARCs are: Neverland by Douglas Clegg, The Daughters of Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt, and Claude and Camille by Stephanie Cowell, the second winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to any online bookseller of choice which allows gift cards to be sent via e-mail.
So do you remember Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors? He was the one who fed the creepy plant. And similarly I am asking you to feed me. I don’t want dead bodies or anything (that’s what that plant ate!) but I want to know all about the food that you’re eating reading about. For a little break and some good times, check out the plant singing Feed Me, Seymour below. I know I did this last time. But it’s a fun break, right! I looked at it again this morning and was charmed/appalled all over again.
When the batter was just right – not too thick and not too runny – we arranged apple slices like a fan unfurling around the bottom of a pan she had greased with butter. Continuing to whip the batter, she poured it over the apples, sprinkled sugar over the top , and slipped the pan into the oven.“Now we can have our coffee.” She sank down on the bench with a sigh and a contented grin. “We’ll smell it when it’s done.”
I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read is hosting a mini-challenge this hour, as well. Have fun today everybody! Looking forward to seeing all the yummy food.
Of course your mini-challenge would be about food!
Umm…Yeah!
That cake looks so good!
I know. I want a slice. It's about to make me go and get something I don't need to eat.
That looks delicous. Fun challenge.
Haha! This is great! I'm not sure about my food choice…..
I have yet to encounter food in my reading this morning! Still looking
My recent post Readathon Mini Challenge :Kick Off (post 3)
I have definitely encountered food! Here's my post.
Well, it's not exactly food, but it's pretty close!
My recent post Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon minichallenge: Feed Me, Seymour!
I don't really have a blog, so I'll post mine here! =) I'm reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. Excerpt:
There was no need to starve, so she ate the stew and mashed potatoes with relish. There was a bowl of tinned peaches and ice cream to follow…and when she had finished, the nurse brought her a glass of warm milk and took the tray away.
Throughout the book, though, there have also been mentions of reindeer meat, seal meat, eels, and things like that. Appetizing, no?
