Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature. Be sure to check out their lists!
Ah, food. Who doesn't love food? Summer is a great time for food, at least for me, because I love fresh fruit and veggies. I adore a good grilled steak or hamburger. Ice cream and popsicles are their own food group, in my book. So, since I've had food on the brain for a month now, I figured I'd compile a list of books that relate to food or beverages in some way. I know there are lots more than I have here, so feel free to tell me some I forgot!
