BookRiot's quiz: what book should I read next?

recommends 

The Tea Dragon Society by K. O'Neill

Then I took the Bookfinity's test, but they are kind of wishy-washy and I don't see anything interesting in their book recommendations. So I decided to add some of my favorite books, and now it doesn't give me any recommendations. :-( So... I don't recommend that.

Ok. I tried again, and now we are getting somewhere:

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

In the Lives of Puppets by Tj Klune 

The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

BOOKS CONTROL WHAT I EAT FOR 24 HOURS!

 

Ok, when you plan on doing this kind of challenges, you need to add two caveats.

1) If you usually drink caffeine in the morning, drink caffeine and keep it outside your challenge. 

2) keep your diet.
If you are allergic to some foods, you don't eat that food, even when a book tells you to eat it. You find an alternative.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, you won't eat meat, even when a book tells you to eat it.
If you are on LCHF diet, you'll find the LCHF version of what ever they are eating in the book.
This should be self-evident.
I, for example, don't eat onions. Not onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, spring onions, chives, or anything else like that. (Except in very strictly limited circumstances. A booktube challenge is not one of them.)

I also have some other thoughts about this.

1) don't do it when you are really tired or on deadline or something else. It's just a booktube challenge. It's not important. It can wait a day or two, or even a week. You can make another video first. Use these as fillers for days when you don't have any other content, make them ahead of time, when you are relaxed, and can throw yourself wholeheartedly in the challenge.

2) don't try to manipulate the outcome. Don't try to find a book where they are most likely to eat something you want to eat.

I am going to use the books I'm reading right now. 

Breakfast: "Neiti Kymene söi aamiaiseksi yön yli leivinuunissa haudutettua kaurapuuroa, yhden leivän ja kaksi mukillista vahvaa kaakaota."
- Neiti Kymenen ihmeellinen talo by Magdalena Hai
("Miss Kymene ate for breakfast oatmeal porridge that had been baked overnight in the masonry oven, one bread (sandwich?) and two mugs of strong hot chocolate.")

Lunch: "But the tables in the Great Hall were a trove of broken pastries and dishes of meat. There were bowls of apples as well, slabs of cheese; in short, all a boy could wish for plundering."
- Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

Dinner: "Master Gill took them to a corner table in the common room and had one of the serving maids bring them food. Rand shook his head when he saw the plates, with a few thin slices of gravy-covered beef, a spoonful of mustard greens, and two potatoes on each. It was a rueful, resigned headshake, though, not angry. Not enough of anything, the innkeeper had said."
- The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

Dessert: "No doors were ever closed to them, and even the birdcages were open for the birds to come and go as they pleased, and wondrous fruits grew everywhere, ripe for the plucking, and cakes were left out on window ledges, free for the taking."
- Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
