Things I Like in Books 15

NOTE: I am ridiculous and started a list called “Things I Like in Books.” These are drawings of the things on that list. Truly AWFUL drawings. I am now going to share them with you one at a time. Mostly on Saturdays. Okay, here we go.

I like it when books revolve around baked goods.

Examples: What? I’m gluten-free; I gotta get my taste of it somewhere! Fave examples include Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler and The Sweetest Thing by Christina Mandelski.

Ooooo good one! I like it when it’s revolved around food in general, doesn’t have to be only sweet goodies.

I was JUST thinking about this the other night. My thought process went.. I want to open a bakery… you know I like books where they work at a bakery or own a bakery.. la la la la

Also, I am gluten-free too, so I totally get it!

I love foodie books too. My weakness is food cozies but YA books with someone who bakes and/or decorates cakes are also good!

I’ve never commented on one of these posts, but I just had to tell you how much I love it when they come up on my reader. They always make me giggle. Thanks for that!

Ahhhh, evilevilevil! I just cut out processed sugar this week, and a cupcake sounds incredible right now, hahaha. I really need to read Bliss by Kathryn Littlewood – I love bakery books as well.

[...] I totally credit Anna at Anna Reads as the inspiration for my series. I love her series about things in books she loves and the fact that her list is in doodles. Though, her people doodles are so much better than mine. [...]

I’ve never read a book about cupcakes…or any type of baked goods, really. I’m really looking forward to reading a few. Any suggestions?

I completely agree! I LOVE sweets and baked goodies, so yes, any book featuring any of them = instant win.

I love this post! I’m really glad you mentioned THE SWEETEST THING because I adored that book but don’t think it gets enough love in the blogosphere. Thanks for sharing!
