This is obviously a very serious post and should in no way be taken with a pinch of salt š I was chatting to my sister a while back and thought about how genres correspond to different meals. I thought Iād share my findings with you all. Enjoy!


For Breakfast, letās have some How To Guides (and recipes) because we gotta start somewhere! (Although I donāt know about you, my brain isnāt switched on in the morning, so Iām not sure I will take much of this in). And because this is (apparently) the most important meal of the day- and weāre already on the subject of non fic- this should be loaded with superfoods and some very hipster self-help.


Moving on to Elevensis. Some may say this isnāt the most important meal of the day⦠but they would be wrong! Nothing more vital than a piece of cake and a cup of tea- which is why Iām prescribing a strong dose of Humour at this point in the day. Something wacky and funny is particularly appetising! Because itās a great way to break up the monotony beforeā¦


Lunch time! And I know thereās some scientific debate over how important this meal is- which is why I think a little Sci Fi could help š (honestly this pairing is just because I have no idea how to describe lunch and no clue where to put sci fi).


Afternoon Tea should be ready shortly after this- which is just a fantasy for a lot of us! Youāre more likely to be transported to Wonderland than be loading up on sweet treats. But ah well⦠more tea, anyone?


Dinner for me is a truly thrilling part of my day⦠which is why youāll be chomping down on some thrillers! Also, if you want to get a little deeper, then theyāll all be psychological.


But weāre not done yet! Because some people will eat a more sophisticated Supper– and for that theyāll need a Starter of memoirs, because before we get to the really good bit, we need to know how you got to where you are today.


Next, weāll bring out the Main Course– which is naturally some weighty historical fiction. Because a stodgy conversation is good for the digestion š


If, by some chance, itās a Michelin Star Meal– then, and only then, do you get a hold of the classics (and get me the wine list while youāre at it!)


This will all be served with a healthy Side Salad of Literary Fiction. Itās probably good for you and you may even enjoy it, but donāt be afraid to leave it unfinished.


Finally, weāll finish off this meal with a delightful Desert of fresh (and fluffy) contemporary!


If after all this eating, youāre still hungry in the middle of the night, you can always get up for a mysterious Midnight Snack (ie mysteries). And no, Iām not just putting it here because I donāt know where else to put it š Thereās a significant and mysterious reason behind it š
Likely story, after all this, youāve probably got a stomach ache (and maybe some food poisoning)- sorry about that. Horror had to make it in somewhere!
Well I hope that whet your appetite and you got your fill! Cos that’s all for now! š
