Oh! Good morning! 😛
Sorry about that post title… I couldn’t resist….
hee hee
Oh and if you are a newbie to Book Journey and popped over because of the post title… welcome. Coffee is on, help yourself. 😀
I am hoping most of you are familiar with Patrick Ness, author of the Chaos Walking series. These books have pulled me fully into them. When I read The Knife Of Never Letting Go, I could hardly put the book down. Now I am making my way through The Ask and The Asking and finding it just as brilliant. I can’t even put into words what this author has created within these pages…
so to get to the point of the post title… at 7:00 pm last night (hey I know it was early… I am not proud! :razz:) I decided to go lay down and read since hubby and the new upstairs tv was bugging me (tv, not hubby) and I did not want to go downstairs. Once in bed and covered with a warm blanky (yes Minnesota has turned cold on me), apparently I was a little too comfortable and by 7:30 I was asleep, book open and tucked under my hand.
This all explains why at 5:00 am this morning I was wide awake, up and chatting on Twitter with COFFEE CUP, trying to pretend I was a sane person. 😀
As for today’s Saturday Snapshot *waves to the amazing Alyce from At Home With Books* you would think with all I have been up to lately I would have lots of pictures to choose from (Tailgate party on 9/11 for Fallen Firemen, two birthday parties, the North shore a few weeks back) but sadly… I do not. However, I did go out to dinner with three of my friends this past week and our food looked so delicious I could not resist…. (kudos by the way to friends who understand when I whip my camera out to take pics of odd things like ummm… what we are about to eat.)
Ok if you think this food is making your mouth water… wait until I post my book club review later today with the food we served. 😛
Stop over to At Home With Books to add your own Saturday Snapshots to the group. It is a lot of fun!
Finally before I go get ready to start my day I need to announce my final BBAW winner for yesterdays giveaway of The Night Circus! Using random.org for yesterdays post comments our winner is:

Book Journey 
Oh, I love taking pictures of food! Awhile back, I posted some that I took on the Napa Wine Train…because some food just begs to be photographed.
I love sweet potato fries!
Here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT and
MY WEBSITE
And I giggled at your blog post title today!
Oh and no worries Laurel, I will not be starting a “Who are you sleeping with” meme any time soon… 😛
Mmmmmm…. sweet potato fries are a total weekness…. 😀
Such a silly title! :p
Congrats to Jeanne.
That’s definitely some drool-worthy food!
LOL – could not resist Hannah….. 😀
I thinkI need to start taking some food pictures too! Looks like a good meal. The other night I went to bed earlier than usual, not 7 but 10:30 and by 10:40 I was turning out the light. Most nights I am lucky to be turning them off by midnight! I even went to bed to get some reading time in.
It was too good not to take pics of 😀 I am a midnight to one am girl myself… last night was a total fluke. 🙂
Mr Ness gets around…he was at my house until the wee hours of the morning a few nights ago!
Hmmm…. I kind of wondered about that….:razz:
Wow – that avocado & chicken sandwich looks SOOO good! There’s a rumbly in my tumbly…BBL
It did look good – I almost wanted that when I seen it but my salmon was soooooo good too.
Great post title 😉
I will have to try this series soon. I noticed that The Knife of Never Letting Go is on sale for Kindle this month. I may just have to buy it!
I recently read The Postmistress so I am looking forward to see what your book club thought of it. My book group is reading Girl in Translation this month so I am trying to come up with some easy Chinese food to serve. Right now I’m just thinking of buying frozen egg rolls and fortune cookies. One of my coworkers has some authentic Chinese food that her daughter (who lives in China) gave her. There are packages of chicken feet (a popular delicacy there) and some other things we couldn’t identify but I don’t think my book group would be that adventurous…
Thanks for sharing the food pictures-it is time for lunch!
I heard it is $2.99 on Kindle! I read The Postmistress last fall and was not overly impressed…. however, wait until you see my review with the Bookies! 😀
Fortune cookies would be awesome for Girl in Translation – you know you can make your own and put your own sayings in them….. :D, the chickens feet would be hilarious and definitely a review to remember.
Oh my goodness, that chicken sandwich with the avocado looks phenomenal.
I still need to bite the bullet and read The Ask and the Answer. Once I finished The Knife of Never Letting Go, I just kind of forgot about the series.
Oh Lola how could you forget about it? I was so glad I had the second one handy! 😀
I can totally relate to sleeping with an open book in my hand, although for me it usually happens around 9pm.
I like your food pics.I’m always doing that too. By now people have stopped rolling their eyes… for the most part.
I can not remember the last time I fell asleep with a book. I usually read downstairs then go upstairs to bed. I rarely take the book in the bedroom with me because my hubby always goes to bed before I do.
I have just had dinner. And you still made me hungry!
😀
Here is my Saturday Snapshot post!
LOL – well, the food does look awesome… and I have not had dinner yet, not quite lunch time here… 😀
what’s weird about taking pictures of food? LOL
I do it everyday!!
Oh good! Thanks Debbie! 😀
Oh yum! I love sweet potato fries! Now I’m hungry again (just had brunch, too).
Here’s my Snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/09/saturday-snapshot-september-17.html
They are so good…. I did eat a few off her plate… 😯
Mmmm! That food looks yummy, but the Sliced avocado and grilled chicken sandwich w/ sweet potato fries is calling my name!
I never heard of this series before so I checked them out on Amazon. Can’t imagine living in a world like that! Maybe some day I’ll get to read them… Why oh why are there so many books?
Thats what did it Vicki, the slices avocado looked amazing! The books are soooooo good. That’s all I am saying… and I do not know why there are so many…. I guess so we can all never have enough books 😀
That looks appetizing and I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet!
I almost always forget to take photos of food before diving in. Which is why my deli NY sandwich photo is of one that is half eaten.
I posted that before I had breakfast too Alyce 😀 The only one that was ready to start eating was the BBQ Bacon Cheese lady, she had already cut it in half when I told her I needed a pic. 😛
Right now I’m on a low carb diet and those fries are soooo tempting!
My Saturday Snapshots
Oh yeah… dont look at those fries… 😀
Oh man! That’s some comfort food right there.
Mmmmm hmmmm…. Minnesota turned cold this past week… we need all the comfort we can get. 😀
Oh no, now I’m going to have to go search the fridge for something to eat.
I think I have destroyed everyones diets today…. 😳
I have yet to read anything by Patrick Ness but I want to. Oh my the food in the photos looks so good! You’re making me huuungry!
Congratulations Jeanne on winning The Night Circus. It was reviewed on the Today Show this morning ~ rave reviews, lots of gushing! Enjoy!
Was it on the Today Show? Cool I will have to find that on line!
Sheila, some of that food really looks yummy, but I can’t believe someone thin like you would eat much of that…LOL
BTW..I can relate to your 7:00 sleep fest. Today at 3:45 pm I went with my book and comforter (chilly here too) to a quiet room (hub and sports not good for reading concentration). I read 5 pages and fell asleep for 2 hours…LOL
I think we are just so tired Diane 😀 I am looking forward to this week… I have too many hours in so I actually get an extra day off the next two weeks 😀
I *loved* the Chaos Walking series. Brilliant. Glad you’re enjoying it! And now I want a BBQ bacon cheeseburger…
I am loving it too Erin! SO GOOD!!! LOL about the cheeseburger… ummmm…. sorry about that.
Yikes, my stomach is growling!
Yes…. I could go do that meal again Mary 😀
I love me some tuna. And Bacon cheeseburgers? Be still my heart!
Its the BBQ that sold me on the burger Malanie 🙂
Love everything about this post, most especially the end! My delay in commenting is due only to the fact that I was out of town with no internet access. Emailing you my address now; I’m excited to read this book, as I just read a good review of it while catching up on other blogs!
Thanks Jeanne – it was SOOOOOOO AWESOME!
