Abbie (abbiedeacon) | 5 comments I planned to get Korean takeout tonight to tide me over tomorrow but opted for something else instead. will be relying on hotel breakfast, s&v chips, dried mango, berries, and veg sticks most of the day!

K.L. Middleton (theunapologeticbookworm) | 32 comments I've got lunch meat, cheese sticks, popcorn, fruit, and tons of leftover Easter candy, so I definitely won't go hungry during the readathon. I may also order Chinese takeaway if I decide I want something more substantial for dinner.

Cathy  (cathepsut) | 683 comments I don‘t really do much different for readathons than for normal weekends. I have some salad, fish, cheese, eggs, tomatoes. Nuts and oranges as snacks in between. I have a new alcohol-free wine I want to try out.

Claudia Hauter | 24 comments I'm starting with coffee and crunchies (oatmeal bars) my mom made. And I'll make chocolate cupcakes later.

Claudia Hauter | 24 comments I wish I'd thought to save some Easter chocolates, but I've already gobbled mine all up!


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 1567 comments Drinks - Coffee (lattes), teas, sangria at night for small treat, water

Food - Will order pizza, have ice cream, dove chocolates (wrong kind, damn walmart), variety of cheeses and crackers, going to do a breakfast of eggs and biscuits and preserves, for lunch a tea spread with cucumber sandwiches and treats, and have bananan nut muffins for snacks on hand

I love eating leftovers. Somehow they taste better than when recently made…

A character in a book I read recently was eating crepes, and for some reason I decided this evening I needed some. I used cashew flour instead of wheat flour, added some cinnamon, vanilla and almond extract, and used my immersion blender. Super fast and way easier than I expected. The topping is a local blueberry preserves, with that King Soopers brand (Private Selections?) English rose black tea. My book is set in Norway though, not France or in English drawing rooms. I may need to pick my next book to match my dinner. :)
