Thank you to everyone who entered, and thank you to Carina Press for the very fun giveaway. Happy reading, everyone!
Royal Milk tea and macrones (can’t indulge like this all the time, but on occasion!).
Potato chips and onion dip (so I never keep them in the house!)
My accompaniment of choice is coffee (decaf, especially when reading in the evening) with cream and a little sugar free hazelnut syrup.
In the winter, scones with clotted creme or muffins but in the summer, I love fresh fruit. But really, isn’t any good book a treat (and better for the waistline) 🙂
Always with tea, in my Shakespearean insult mug for contrast 🙂 Likely accompanied by a gluten free muffin.
I would treat myself with whiskey cake and watermelon hot tea
My favorite hot drink would be a Starbucks latte. Alas there is no Starbucks near work so I could enjoy it while reading at lunch. I’ll settle for sipping tea at home while cuddled under blankets with my e-reader.
Hot beverage of some sort (coffee, hot chocolate, or tea- not particular), but nothing really to eat. It’s too easy for me to get pages or screens dirty when I am eating, and it also slows me down.
I could go for a really good brownie at the moment.
Lately it’s been Trader Joe’s Cookies N’ Creme butter, straight from the jar! Weirdly addictive, it’s almost indecently delicious. Yum!
since it’s sooo cold where I live, I’d pick some caramel hot chocolate, a heavy fleece blanket and my dog to snuggle on my oversize chair and ottoman 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Either Bigelow’s Cinnamon Stick Tea or a a well made mocha latte (with only a little bit of the chocolate syrup). This way I don’t leave fingerprints on the pages!
I love a cup of Starbucks Iced Caramel Latte and maybe some chips or popcorn (depends on what kind of day I’ve had). Sometimes I go crazy and have chocolate while I read but that’s only for special occasions.
My favorite way to settle into a book is with a big glass of iced tea and some kind of salty snack – chips, pretzels, popcorn.
Lemon scones with a cup of tea for me.
Tea and a chocolate bar, of course.
Depending on the time of day…I’m either drinking green tea (my favorite is Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea by Celestial Seasonings)….or in the evening, a glass of wine. I usually don’t snack while I am reading because I lose all sense of portion control….especially if what I am reading is a page turner!
Tea and chocolate!
I like crunchy things like chips or dry cereal.
I’d like some chocolate cookies. Mmmmmm.
Hot tea and shortbread with my cozy slippers.
Anything that’s chocolate, such as chocolate chip cookies or M&M’s.
I like to read with a cup of tea or sometimes a glass of wine – depends on my mood and what time of day it is!
Chicory coffee with cream is my reading beverage of choice. If I’m feeling fancy, with madeleines.
Tea and cookies!
Scones and a piping hot cup of tea. Seriously, it was -20C when I walked the dog at midday. I’m still trying to warm up!
I like some cardamom spiced tea and a blueberry scone or muffin…anything blueberry!!
A bath & a glass of wine!
CAKE.
CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKECAKECAKECAKE
Since I don’t tend to eat while I’m reading, if I have something it’s usually a Diet Coke or water. And I usually have my two dogs both trying to sit in my lap at the same time if I’m reading at home.
Coffee, with milk and sugar. It’s lovely to hold something warm and read a great book in the chilly winter.
Tea! Lovely tea. So much tea. All the tea. Except fruit tea. But besides that all the tea.
Chocolate-covered pretzels or clementines as support. 🙂
What a fun question! For me it’s either crackers (eaten mindlessly, straight out of the box), Reese’s Pieces, or fuzzy peach slices. Preferably with a muted sporting event in the background, so that I can periodically look up and check the score 🙂
I live alone, so sometimes I read either holding a book, or reading it as an ebook and if I like it really well, I will also get the other i.e. ebook or physical book. and dogs are sunning themselves on the front porch. finally no rain, but rainy days are for reading and being lazy too.
I love the frozen appetizer section at Target. Mini Tacos? Taquitos? Pizza Rolls? Egg Rolls? Tater Skins? YES PLEASE. Hot finger food for the win!
One hand for eating, one hand for turning the pages!
I have a cough that will not quit so tea would be my first choice.
Soft chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven with a glass of milk! Or peanut butter brownies. Yum! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Lindt Touch of Sea Salt chocolate bar
Had an awesome reading day yesterday: warm blanket, comfy chair, purring cat sleeping beside me, large latte and a fully charged kindle. Bliss…
What a great contest! I’m a big fan of cheese its while I’m reading. Along with my couch and a blanket to keep me warm.
