Follow Friday is a weekly event hosted by Parajunkie's View. This week's question is...
How did you come up with your blog name?
It actually started on goodreads. I kept seeing my friend Emily adding books to her currently-reading shelf and finishing them the same day. After a while, in my usual crazy/random fashion, I tweeted her something like "What do you do with your books? DO YOU EAT THEM???" and she replied "YES, I DO. AND YOU EAT THEM WITH ME" (I'm keeping the caps-lock to stay as authentic as possible :p). Ever since, whenever we email each other about books we talk about eating them somewhere along the line.
The Book Blogger Hop is a meme hosted by
Crazy for Books every friday.
This week's question:
Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?
I can't. I tried several times to read more than one book at a time and my brain just doesn't work that way. If I put a book down and don't pick it back up as soon as I get the chance, it means I'm not captivated by it and I'll eventually put it on the dreaded on-hold shelf.
Happy friday!

I can understand only wanting to read one book at a time, although that's not how I approach my reading :-).
Cute blog you have! I love the pink stripes and the flowers. I'm a new follower from the hop. Happy Friday!

Adorable blog! And funny back story to your title!

My FF post.
So, does that mean that your 'on-hold' shelf means that the book won't be picked up again?
I guess my version of that shelf would me my Kindle archive - if I just can't get into the story, I delete the book and it goes back to my archive.
Here's my Book Blogger Hop: 3/18-3/21 post!

Stopping by on the Hop. I love your blog's name. I've also added you to my following queue. I miss being able to read one book at a time. Hopefully I can revert back to those days soon. It would be nice to not have to compartmentalize every single thing I read. Have a great weekend and happy reading.
I eat books too which is why my blog ended up with the name Eating YA Books, but the name actually came from a quote by A.S. W. Rosenbach.
BOOKS FOR FOOD.
GOD, LAMIA.
WE SHOULD BE SO FAT.
P.S.
Loser. <3
Hopping through. What a cool story for the name of your blog.
My Hop
Coming through on the blog hop.
I have no problem reading two books at a time though it does not happen often. I generally like to finish one and then start another
New follower hopping by! I really like your blog name! Cute story too!
Happy Friday!
My Hop!
Love the story about your blog name. I have recently joined Goodreads and I'm ashamed to admit that I am utterly lost.
Anyways, new follower here.

I like to juggle a few at a time. Keeps things interesting :D
Haha. Love the story. :-)
Following too!
Haha, aw you and your friend are pretty awesome. I love you blog name :)
And I totally agree with you on the reading one book at a time thing. If I read more than one book, I'll end up preferring one more than the other, and that's just not how I roll! Happy Friday! :D
The way you came up with your blog name is so cute! Nice and personal, but relevant at the same time. I'm a new follower. Your blog is very pretty
