The Best Snack to Eat With Books

We here at The Sirenic Codex are hard hitters. We cover all the most essential issues pertaining to your reading needs. But it has come to P.E.'s attention lately that we have faltered, leaving our poor readership without the answer to a significant question. What is the best snack to eat while reading?

Now, snacks are messy, food don't go with books, blah blah blah, nope. As busy people, we need to multitask as much as possible, which means we always eat and read. But what is the best food that complements a book? Let us delve into this age-old mystery.

Chocolate Covered Almonds

What is life?

These delicacies are P.E.'s current favourite thing, and this is no exaggeration. P.E. has written a (terrible) poem about how yummy they are.

Dark ovals
Round plump
Elegant

Cream and almond
Sweet and rich
Yum, youre mine

One for fingers
Two for taste
Obsession

Infinite loops
Quarter more
I don't care 

It's a food! Can you not feel the passion? These dark chocolate almonds are the PB to the a book's jam. They snack sized, not too messy, unless you leave them out in the sun then drop them on your bed, and utterly addictive. 

Hot Chocolate


The wind is howling, the snow is falling, and you are curled up in bed, with a lovely soft blanket, about to begin your book. What could make this scene better? Hot chocolate! Hot cocoa has to be a book lover favourite. It's warm and toasty, and it's only really comparable to tea in terms of how awesome it is. Plus, it's chocolate, and if you can't tell already, this post is written by P.E. the chocoholic. 

Chips


So what if you don't want something rich and sweet? Maybe you're into cheesy, spicy, salty, crunchy goodness. Maybe chips float your boat. In any case, chips are some of the most eatable foods. They come in a handy bag, which is super easy to open and prop on your bed/counter. They win for convenience, plus they're super cheap with billions of flavours. P.E.'s favourite has to be the super spicy black-bagged Doritos. But maybe you're more of a Lays gal. The choice is yours!

Yoghurt


Maybe you're like me, buying dairy products to appease your parents because you never drink milk. Or maybe some people genuinely like yoghurt, it's tough to know. But it is snack sized, and like a lesser version of a smoothie, so it has to have some sort of appeal...

Milk n Cookies


The classic. I indulge in milk and cookies quite often. In fact, milk and cookies/cake/muffins are pretty much the only thing I buy at grocery stores. Milk and cookies bring healthy refreshment to reading. They're fun, easy to acquire, and they always taste good. 

Now that you have your choices, it's time to vote! Which snack is the best with a book? Vote, or if you have another idea, choose 'other' and share your thought!





YA Prom Dress Shopping

As seniors in high school, P.E. and I will both be attending prom this year. As a result, there hasn't been a day that I haven't been fussing over my dress. I've stalked  the internet dry and now believe that I have a general idea of what I want. All that's is left is finding and acquiring the dress.

Unlike me, some of these YA protagonist seem to have that covered. The gorgeous dress theme is not a new one, but every now and then there are covers that exhibit some dresses that make it hard for us to keep our jaws from hitting the floor.

Roses are Red




These big and bright dresses are nothing short of show stoppers. The dress offered in Rumor is more about the effect of the red colour but The Girl in the Steel Corset spices up the red with a corset and a designed tail. The reds come to a finish with this years contribution to the list of otherworldly dresses. The Winner's Curse has a dress only a prom queen can where.

The Storm is Brewing





There is nothing like a gorgeous blue/green dress. The stormy blue dress of Across A Star-Swept Sea is obscured by the tides but it managed to bedazzle us anyway. 

Goddess sure doesn't have a contemporary prom dress style but there is an outfit to suit everyone. This one is perfect for those with an appreciation for the vintage. 

These Broken Stars features not a dress, but a gown, one fairly belonging to the daughter of the richest man in the universe. I adore the flowy detailing and emerald green colour.

A Dazzling Shade of White



I've adored Entwined's dress of years now. It is the dress ever girl wants to wear as she heads towards her castle.

The Vixen, takes us back to the 20s with it's gorgeous lace fit dress. This style has returned to fashion with the Royal Wedding and Kate's stunning gown. It's a perfect classical choice.

Lastly, we have the ultimate white dress. Not only is it enormous and hard to ignore, but it's detailed and delicate at the same time; a breath taker.

Now for the fun part. I want to end this post with a competition. The Ultimate Fantasy Ball Gown contest. Winner gets a lot of love. 

I'll start the voting with my choice, it's tough but I think The Winner's Curse wins it for me.
