#BookNDinner! @BookBabe & I are out at a local restaurant tonight 😊. Accompaniment for my reading this evening includes: mozzarella sticks with chunky marinara (already devoured, thank you for very much!); cheesesteak with mushrooms and provolone; awesome fries; pickle spear; and Coke. You think this smorgasbord is eye-popping, wait until you see dessert *flashes eyebrows* 😉. Happy reads & happy eats 😎👌🏻!!!

This may be an awfully dry book for many, but I eat this stuff up like it's candy 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Goes with my English degree in Middle English Literature. C'mon, how cool is it to learn about Merlin when you have to place him in the company of Troy, prophets, and necro-mancer kings!!!! Check out real historical texts, because Rowling, Martin, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Lewis, et al., got their ideas from somewheeerrre. Hint, hint 😜.

BookishMarginalia This sounds like my kind of nerdy comp-lit fare! 👍🏼 7y
Autumn My major was Medieval & Renaissance Studies! 7y

[DELETED] 3517561138 You mean you eat it up like tots? 7y
lynneamch Cornwall? Sounds like this is the perfect book to read while eating pasties--basically hand pies, which by law, must be made with meat, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga. SO good! 7y
MrBook @audiothing 😂👏🏻 That. Is. Awesome!!!! @Prairiehomereader 😂😂😂👏🏻 I don't eat anything up like I do tots 😜😉👍🏻! @lynneamch Ooh, sounds yummy 😁👍🏻😋!!! 7y

#BookNDinner! I'm on my own tonight, scavenging in the New Jersey 'burbs. So, book accompaniment this evening includes: a charbroiled cheddar bison burger; a Sabrett's hot dog; onion rings & fries; pickles; and a birch beer. MMMmmm 😋! Can't wait to dig into this read. Didn't come across it in my previous Arthurian studies. 😎👌🏻

Books_Wine_Repeat Looks delicious! 😀👍 8y

melbeautyandbooks That looks fabulous! A little bit of everything. (No tater tots, but I think 🍟 and onion rings make up for it). 8y
MrBook @Books_Wine_Repeat It is marvelous 😁👍🏻! @Texreader Thank you! It's my breakfast-lunch-dinner. That's how busy I've been today 🙄. @alisonrose 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻! @LEGolasa 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! @KellyTurner It is fantastic 😎👌🏻👍🏻! @Notafraidofwords Sweet! The Fireplace on Rt. 17 in Paramus! 8y
MrBook @Nuwanda It's well written 😊👍🏻. @Inigomontoya Very good 😎👌🏻👍🏻! @Ruri_kaichou I keep the book open on the side of the tray. A bit awkward. I should've brought a bookstand, lol. @melbeautyandbooks I spoke to the manager about it actually 😂😂😂. They recently intro'd sweet potato fries, but no tots yet *sighs*. 8y
DeborahSmall My dream night. I was in the states this summer for 2 weeks. My husband was busy with meetings and work, I read and ate so much. It was amazing. I miss the food so much! And my favourite store of course Barnes and Noble...📖😊👍🏼 8y
DeborahSmall Where's the mustard and onion for the hot dog 🌭? That criminal.... onions in everything 😉 8y
MrBook @DeborahSmall 😂👏🏻👍🏻!!! Love B&N. My first B&N I visited was when I was 8 or 9, my father took me. I don't remember doing so, but he said I couldn't stop crying 😊. I do remember him asking me why I didn't go to the kids' section and I told him I moved beyond that, to which him and the manager laughed. 😁 8y
kdwinchester You and @BookBabe have the best food + book photos! Now anytime Sam sees a photo of food on Litsy, he's like, is that @MrBook? 😹 8y
MrBook @DeborahSmall They were re-filling the mustards, which I received a couple minutes after snapping this picture 😊, and it was the spicy mustard too 😋, mmmm. 8y
MrBook @kdwinchester 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻!!! If we ever meet up, please take @BookBabe and me to your favorite place 😎👌🏻. 8y
The_Literary_Jedi My library doesn't have this one 😒 8y

Crewgurl Fireplace is amazing. As is beer birch. Looking forward to your review on that one. Looks interesting. 8y
MrBook @Lynnsoprano Mmmmmm! Bison burgers are indeed the best! Although I have yet to try a burger made from authentic Kobe beef. Mmmm 😊. @Crewgurl Yay! You've frequented it! So you live in the area then? 8y
MrBook @Crewgurl Are you attending the Morristown Festival of Books on Saturday? 8y
Crewgurl I do! I'm in Passaic County, not very far away 😊 I'm not unfortunately! It's my nephew's birthday, so going to spend the day with the little man. I hope it's a great day! 8y
